After a long work week, I am craving comfort food.
I wanted to make a spaghetti dish that was easy since I am exhausted, but one I could also indulge in! What could be better than bacon cheeseburger spaghetti? I browsed the internet and found many variations of this, and I pulled ideas from each one. Some really took it literally and added pickles and such, but I was rather skeptical about that element. I also did not want to feel guilty about eating fatty red meat or dealing with the calories of a homemade cheddar cheese sauce, so improvised with ingredients!
The result? A perfect plate of pasta!
Bacon Cheeseburger Spaghetti
Ingredients:
1 pound of 92% lean ground beef
salt
pepper
1 can of cream of cheddar soup
1 cup 1% milk
1 packet of onion soup mix
2/3 cup diced tomatoes in juices
3/4 pound cooked spaghetti
Bacon bits for topping
Directions:
1) In a large nonstick skillet, brown meat over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2) In a large saucepan, combine soup, soup mix, milk, and tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add in meat and stir well, simmering another 2 minutes.
3) Add pasta to the large saucepan and combine pasta and sauce well.
4) Serve immediately with bacon bits crumbled on top.
Oh, wow! It does look like pure comfort!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination of flavors! I make a brisket recipe using onion soup mix, its a winner as well.

ReplyDeleteI clicked on the picture to enlarge it, and then thought "yes, I would love to have some of that like now!"
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that look great? And I love the way you have reduced the fat in the recipe.
ReplyDeleteMy kids would go gaga if I combined two of their favorite meals together! I never would have thought of it myself, but now I think I need to try that soon!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness. that looks so comforting and delicious. what's better than adding bacon to spaghetti. i should close the window now, its too early to be craving this :)
ReplyDeleteI've never even heard of cheeseburger spaghetti, but this sounds delicious! Canned cheese soup isn't something I've seen either, so I don't think I will be making it. I'd like to though!
ReplyDeleteThis is so unique! And I bet really yummy. Two of the best comfort foods combined.
ReplyDeletethis really a comfort food!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job improvising your own creation of bacon cheeseburger spaghetti. This would be a great dish for a weeknight and feeling tired from a long day. This would be a nice comfort dish. Kid friendly too!

ReplyDeleteI don't tend to go in for recipes containing canned soup and so on but this reminds me of something I used to make when I was younger - I think it would be definite comfort food :) looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing better than a bacon cheeseburger is bacon, cheeseburger, AND pasta. Delicious.
