Beef and Black Bean Spaghetti Squash

 Beef and Black Bean Spaghetti Squash

Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 3/4 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
  • 4 small garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups chopped fresh kale
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

Directions

  • Trim ends of squash and halve lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash, cut side down, on a trivet insert in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Add 1 cup water to cooker. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 7 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Set squash aside.
  • In a large skillet, crumble beef and cook with onion over medium heat until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes; drain. Add mustard, hot sauce and garlic; cook 1 minute more. Stir in black beans and kale; cook just until wilted, 2-3 minutes.
  • Using a fork, separate strands of spaghetti squash; combine with meat mixture. Dollop servings with Greek yogurt.

Test Kitchen Tips
  • If you don't have a pressure cooker, pop the squash halves into the microwave on high for 15-20 minutes or roast them in the oven upside down until tender.
  • We know kale might not be to everyone's taste, so feel free to substitute fresh spinach.
