Bacon Chicken Alfredo Squash Noodle Bake is a very comforting, low carb, gluten-free casserole that is fairly simple to make.
Grain-free and can be made with my homemade alfredo sauce recipe or a low carb store-bought alfredo sauce to save time.
You can also save time by using a pre-cooked roasted chicken in the recipe.
My hubby and kids loved this casserole, but that picky son of mine did pick out the chopped peppers. But gave the squash noodles a thumbs up.
I had made this dish with shirataki noodles earlier, but my family did not like the noodles at all. Maybe I did not cook them long enough.
They can be very temperamental, and I don’t always get them the right texture. Spaghetti squash however is always a hit.
My Low Carb Alfredo Sauce recipe is here.
