Cheesy, Beefy Spaghetti Squash Casserole - Gluten Free

Cheesy, Beefy Spaghetti Squash Casserole you say?!  Why, yes, I would like some of that!  We love to find gluten free noodle alternatives (like these black bean noodles) to cook with and spaghetti squash is one of the best that we have found.  We are also big fans of crockpot meals and casseroles.  Why?  Well, there is really nothing nicer than spending a few minutes to prepare a meal, popping it in an oven (or crockpot) and then being able to eat a few meals from that one cooking time.

This dish, like most of our favorites, is also yummy re-heated so you can eat it for a few meals if you like.  Sometimes we will make a larger pan of it so that we do have plenty of leftovers.
