Cowboy Spaghetti
This recipe was quick, cheap, and easy. We had enough for heaping portions for dinner and leftovers the next day all for under $20. Adapted from blogchef.net
- 1 package of spaghetti noodles
- 1/2 package of bacon, chopped
- 2 pounds ground beef (I used a mix of 7% and 4%)
- 1 brown onion, chopped
- 2 shallots, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Louisiana style hot sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup beer (I used a wheat beer)
- 14 oz can diced tomatoes
- 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- oil
Instructions:
- Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.
- Heat oil in a skillet. Fry chopped bacon until crisp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Break the meat into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- Add the onion, shallots, and garlic, mixing into the meat.
- Add the hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Add the beer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Once the sauce has thickened some, add the sauce to the noodles. Make sure to use a large bowl. Add the 2 cups of shredded cheese. Mix and serve.
