This Buffalo Chicken Casserole is amazing! It mixes that punchy Buffalo kick with the comfort of spaghetti squash. Honestly, it’s the perfect recipe to mix things up at dinner and get everyone rushing to the table, super excited for a bite. I mean, there has to be a reason why I decided to lift it straight out of my book and give it to you as a little treat.
Holy crap. Only 6 more days until my third cookbook Juli Bauer’s Paleo Cookbook is out in the world, out on shelves, and hopefully onto your kitchen table! I can’t believe it’s finally so close. I know I’ve said it a million times, but I’ll say it again: I’m seriously so so SO excited about showing you this book. I’ve never been so excited for a book and I’ve definitely never been so proud of a book.
But who cares what I have to say, I am obviously really excited about it because it’s my hard work all rolled into 319 pages. Instead, I want to tell you what other people have said about the book. I sent out some review copies recently and I’m here to show you some of the feedback I’ve received on instagram and through blog posts about some of the recipes and/or just how the book looks! I want you to know exactly what other people are saying before you get the book yourself!
Instagram Reviews:
@cavegirlinthecity – “You guys this is seriously already one of my favorite cookbooks to date…”
@paleopaparazzi – “Congratulations Juli!! Your new cookbook is off the hook gorgeous!!”
@thespunkycoconut – “STUNNING. I had so much trouble just choosing a photo to Instagram, because they’re all so beautiful. So WOW.”
@healthygflife – “I’m a sucker for amazing photos and @primalpalate did an outstanding job on the food photos. Even better, the recipes are approachable and sound delicious! If I can flip through a new book & most of the recipes sound amazing & are actually something I’d try to make, then it’s a keeper for me.”
@primalbites – “@paleomg’s new cookbook is BANANAS!! Like crazy beautiful, ridiculously delicious, and down right hilarious.”
Recipe reviews:
Caroline Potter reviewed my Truffle Mushroom Burgers from the book on her blog Colorful Eats – “But seriously THIS COOKBOOK! It is quite honestly the most beautiful book I have ever seen, thanks to the combined forces of Bill and Hayley’s (from Primal Palate) photography with Juli’s hilarious and bubbly self. Her cookbook truly captures what healthy eating is all about to me—it captures the joy found in eating delicious and nutritious food, because yes the two should always go hand in hand.”
Valerie of Cocoa’s Paleo Kitchen reviewed my Buffalo Chicken Casserole and has already made 5 other recipes from the book! – “I love that her recipes don’t call for many ingredients that are hard to find …..and you likely have most of the ingredients in your kitchen already, for a lot of these recipes.”
Purely Twins went above and beyond, trying 4 of my recipes and sharing a video reviewing the book! They’re even giving away a copy of the book to a lucky winner! Check out their video all about what they thought of the book! – “This cookbook is more than just paleo recipes, it’s about having fun with food. Enjoying delicious and nutritious food because food should be a celebration. Like Juli says it’s recipes to help you shine from within.”
The ladies from Paleo Schmaleo reviewed my Mexican Meatloaf and Living Healthy with Chocolate shared my Two Toned Chocolate Chip Cookies on her blog!

Sneak Peek Recipe from Juli Bauer’s Paleo Cookbook: Buffalo Chicken Casserole
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash (about 21⁄2 pounds)
- 4 tablespoons butter, ghee, or coconut oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1⁄2 medium yellow onion, minced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup hot sauce (I prefer Tessemae’s or Frank’s RedHot)
- 1⁄4 cup Super Simple Mayonnaise (page 274 in my new book) or store-bought mayo (I use Primal Kitchen Foods)
- 3 large eggs, whisked chopped scallions, for garnish
- sliced avocado, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the skin gives when you press your finger to it. Remove the squash from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Grease a Dutch oven or an 8-inch square glass baking dish with 2 tablespoons of the butter.
- Let the squash cool for 5 minutes, remove the seeds, and then use a fork to remove the threads and place them in the greased baking dish.
- In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the garlic, carrot, celery, onion, and bell pepper and cook for about 10 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the ground chicken, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and cook, using a wooden spatula to break up the chicken into small pieces, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat, then add the hot sauce and mayo and mix well to combine.
- Add the chicken mixture to the baking dish and mix well with the spaghetti squash threads. Add the whisked eggs and mix everything together until you can no longer see the eggs.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the top forms a slight crust that doesn’t give when you press it in the middle. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped scallion and avocado slices.

Do you have the nutrition info for this recipe? Thanks!
no
Hi Heather, what exact info do you need? I’ve counted the basic values. In one serving (10 oz) there is 374 kcal, 23g protein, 27g fat and 9,5g carbs.
I can’t wait to get this cookbook and to make this for our Super Bowl Party in a couple of weeks. This dish looks DELISH!
I was skeptical because of the ingredients, but this was OMGGGG amazing. My (not-very-healthy-eating) boyfriend said it was like crack…he couldn’t stop eating! The grocery store was out of ground chicken so I used ground turkey and it was still wonderful. Can’t wait to try again with chicken. But first…to go devour these leftovers 🙂
Your cookbook is legitimately the best I’ve ever owned. Everything I’ve made so far has been brilliant. Thanks so much. It’s hard to find cookbooks with recipes that are actually doable.
omg thank you so so much, jessica! if you have a free minute and feel like telling people through an amazon review, that’s always really helpful for both me and the readers who are wondering if they should get the book! thank you so much for the support!!
I made this recipe tonight, and it was amazing. The hubster has not stopped raving about it. I have the latest cookbook and I was looking for different flavors. I get into a rut of stir fry with GF teriyaki or coconut aminos. This gave us really big flavors without having to spend hours cooking. I made a few changes, mainly because of what I had in the fridge and pantry, (and I added about a half cup of cheese-but it didn’t need it). I didn’t change the basics. Now we have a great lunch to look forward to tomorrow. Juli, even when I don’t make the recipes exactly as written, they all come out great. Thank you.
wooohooo!! glad you guys have something new to add to your rotation!
I made this over the weekend and it was AMAZING! I live by myself so was so happy to have all the leftovers to bring to lunch this week. The only thing different I did was omit the celery since I didn’t have any at home, and swapped the mayo with plain greek yogurt. I do not follow a Paleo diet and planned on topping this with cheese at the end, but it didn’t need it at all! It was so creamy without it…will definitely make this again!
Do you really use an 8×8 baking dish? I felt like that seemed a bit small for all of the ingredients and then I noticed that on your Instagram post yesterday looked like it was in a larger dish. What size was that baking dish? I can’t wait to make this tonight. We are finally plowed out after this crazy blizzard but I am not changing our dinner plans. Thanks!!!
I’m not even Paleo, but YUM, this was delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Urrrrmagerrrrrrd this was AMAZEballs. Quick question for you, though…for some reason when I made this and the Almost-5-Indgredient Pizza Pie, they’ve turned out really watery. Any tips? I wasn’t sure if it was just all the liquid in the spaghetti squash. And let’s be real, they still taste divine, so I’ll make them again regardless. But if there was a way to prevent it I would love to know! The culprit could easily be my ancient oven or my complete lack of culinary skill haha. Thanks!
if it came out watery, that means your spaghetti squash was overcooked. try not cooking it as long so you get the strings without the moisture
A friend shared this recipe with us about three months ago, we’ve made it at least five times! I’ve made it for friends with gluten and casein issues and they love it too! Based on this recipe alone, I’m planning on buying your cookbook. THANK YOU!
