We love baked potatoes. But potatoes are not legal on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and they are not SIBO friendly. However, baked potatoes are easy to make during a long, exhausting week and with all of the possible variations they can be very inexpensive. If we could have baked potatoes every week, we would, so we decided to make a SIBO friendly version: Loaded Baked Squash.
Loaded Baked Squash
Ingredients
- 2 small acorn squash- or other small varieties
- 1 pound hamburger
- 1 Tbs dried sage
- 1 Tbs olive oil or other high heat oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Wrap each half individually in foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until the meat of the squash is soft.
Place 1 Tbs of oil into a skillet and warm.
Add the hamburger and cook until browned. Add the sage, and let cook for 1 minute, stirring to incorporate. Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- When the squash is cooked, scoop the seasoned cooked meat on top, and sprinkle shredded cheese.
- If desired, place back in the oven to melt the cheese. Add yogurt and any other desired toppings just before serving.
