Bacon Spaghetti

It was brought to my attention that some people have not heard of bacon spaghetti in fact they had the audacity to say "it must be a pregnancy thing cuz it sounds disgusting". Well it is obvious they do not know what they are talking about and I had to do something about it. I mean I cant let them challenge my well culinaried palette on this one! It could damage my reputation! So I am here today to share a recipe that has been in my family for..well i dont know how long but i am pretty sure my dads mom taught my mom how to make it and in turn i also learned to make it. AND let me tell you it is in no way near disgusting. Actually i would consider that an antonym of what it actually is!


Also because of this I now must cook the meal for my Rowlan inlaws...they are kind of the test group for any new thing I do or old thing I love. They will then clarify its amazingness in case these unkknowledged people are too afraid to branch out and open their tongue to delicious amazement! Note these inlaws do not know about this yet but I am sure they wont complain..about me cooking a meal for them since that is a rare occasion in the household.


Anyways here is the recipe and if you are smart you will give it a try!


Bacon Spaghetti

Ingredients:
5-8 slices Regular Bacon no maple or anything that would be weird! (I like turkey bacon for this too..and its better for you!)
1/2 onion small diced
1 Green Bell Pepper big diced
1 clove garlic diced up
1 can mushrooms or fresh ones sliced up
1 Jar spaghetti sauce - a four cheese or classic works good..or make ur own
extra seasoning- if the sauce is "missing" something add black pepper, oregano and parsley.
Favorite Noodles..Original Recipe wants the regular spaghetti noodles but its good with linguine or some penne too.


Directions:
Cook your noodles. While they are cooking start your bacon in a large skillet..you want it to be real crispy so let it get almost burnt(it doesnt matter waht it looks like cuz you will chop it up later). Then take it out to dry on a paper towel. Add the onion and bell pepper to your bacon grease over medium heat(if you have a lot of grease drain some...turkey bacon doesnt leave that much). Cook a few minutes and add your garlic (and if you have fresh mushrooms add now). When everything is browned good add your sauce. Let that simmer for a while and add you extra seasoning if necessary. Chop up your bacon and add it back to your sauce. Drain your noodles and combine with sauce or just serve sauce on top of noodles. You can always add some meatballs or shrimp...but the plate is good on its own anything else is extra.


Serve with some garlic bread and salad and you have an amazing meal!
