• Bake spaghetti squash. When it’s nice and soft, set it aside to cool until you’re able to handle it.
• Make the keto buffalo chicken casserole sauce. In a large bowl, stir together blue cheese dressing, buffalo sauce, and cream cheese. Stir in shredded chicken.

TIP: If you want your cheesy spaghetti squash casserole to have more kick, add 2 additional tablespoons of buffalo sauce to the chicken mixture.
