Directions

Preheat oven to 400°.
Pierce spaghetti squash several times with fork or sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Microwave 10 minutes or just until squash is softened, turning after 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes or until cool enough to touch.
Meanwhile, microwave Velveeta® and Ro*Tel® in microwave-safe bowl 5 minutes or until completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 3 minutes.
Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers; cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Add beans, corn, garlic powder and 1/2 the queso; cook 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
Cut spaghetti squash lengthwise in half; remove and discard seeds. Use fork to scrape insides of squash into strands. Stir squash strands into bean mixture. Place squash shells, cut sides up, on baking sheet; stuff with queso, veggie and bean mixture and spaghetti squash strands.
Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until filling is heated through. Top with remaining queso and cilantro. Cut each stuffed spaghetti squash piece in half to serve.
