Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin

Kind of like potatoes au gratin, but with squash!

1 spaghetti squash
1 small onion, sliced thinly
2 hot red peppers, seeded and sliced
2 T butter
1 t thyme
salt and pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar

• DIRECTIONS

1. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Place in a covered dish with a ¼ inch of water and microwave for 10 -12 minutes. I have trouble cutting squash so I usually punch some holes in it and microwave it for ten minutes then it's easier to proceed.
2. In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, add the butter, onions, red pepper and thyme and cook until the onions are slightly brown in color. Salt and pepper to taste.
3. Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash and transfer to a small bowl.
4. Combine the squash, onions, sour cream and half the cheese together and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a buttered baking dish and top with remaining cheese.
5. Place into a 375º for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
