Bacon Spaghetti Casserole

Bacon Spaghetti Casserole

I made this dish last night for supper. It got thumbs up from all. The bacon adds a nice twist to this baked spaghetti dish. In a hurry? Skip the baking step; plate noodles, top with sauce and sprinkle with cheese.

Bacon Spaghetti Casserole

8-ounces dried spaghetti, cooked according to package directions
8 slices bacon, chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 (26.5 to 32-ounce) container spaghetti sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar or Italian cheese blend

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, crumble and set aside.
Pour bacon grease from pan, but leave bacon bits and residue.
Brown meat, onion and pepper in pan where bacon was cooked; drain when done.
Return cooked beef mixture to skillet; add spaghetti sauce and bacon. Simmer ten minutes.
Pour sauce over cooked spaghetti noodles, tossing to coat well.
Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish.
Cover dish with foil and bake until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
Remove foil, sprinkle with cheese and continue to bake until cheese is melted.

    I agree with Sherry--bacon makes everything better! We have a ton of venison in the freezer and I run out of ideas sometimes. Looks great, thank for the recipe.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
