Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cut spaghetti squash in half (length wise). Scoop out seed from center. Put in baking pan cut side down. Pour in 2 cups water (enough to cover bottom of pan plus a little). Cover with foil. Bake 350 degrees for approximately one hour - depending on size. Test for doneness with a fork. Fork should pierce the squash easily. (if you like your squash less done then cook accordingly).

When done take fork/spoon and scrape out the fibers of the squash. Drain well to get rid of liquid.
Step 3
WHILE SQUASH IS BAKING: Brown up ground beef and Italian sausage. Drain. Set aside.
Step 4
WHILE SQUASH IS BAKING ABOUT 1/2 WAY THROUGH (@30 MIN MARK): Dice up onions and mushrooms.
Step 5
Sautee onion in butter/oil. When onions start to brown add mushrooms. When done add in spaghetti sauce and/or fire roasted tomatoes. Heat til warm. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Mix in baked squash, ground beef, sausage and parmesan cheese. Transfer to baking dish. Top with 1 cup. shredded cheese.
