In my last post, Deb asked about Smokehouse Spaghetti. This dish is one my mom made often when I was growing up. It's now a family favorite of ours. It's a good company dish. I often take it to others when they need a meal. It's a hit with kids and it freezes well too!
Smokehouse Spaghetti
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 lb. bacon
1 medium chopped onion
1 - 15 oz. and 1 - 8 oz. tomato sauce
1 - 4 oz. can mushrooms (with juice)
1 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
1/2 t. oregano
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 lb. shredded provolone
1/4 lb. shredded cheddar
8 oz. cooked spaghetti
Fry bacon and remove. Brown beef and onion. Add all but cheeses and spaghetti; simmer 15 miutes. Add spaghetti. Layer cheeses and spaghetti/sauce mixture in 9x13 pan. End with cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes (or less) at 375 degrees. If made ahead and stored in fridge, may need 45 minutes.
Notes:
- I play around a lot with cheeses. I rarely use provolone and still like the flavor.
- Instead of tomato sauce and spices, I have used already prepared spaghetti sauce before, but I prefer sticking to the recipe.
- I often add a little more than 8 oz. spaghetti.
About Me
- Kris
- I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. But first I'm a woman and I'm committed to taking care of myself so that I can have good relationships with others. This is not always easy. Okay, some days it's just plain impossible but I'm working at it! For almost 3 1/2 years I have been home raising children. Though quite difficult at first, I feel very content with my lifestyle choice. I am grateful that I have this "choice" and that it was mine to make. In college, I spent three months living in Costa Rica, Central America, for a Study Service Term. While there, I became familiar with the term Pura Vida. My interpretation of the phrase is "life is good." Sure, I have complaints and I am full of flaws. Many times things don't go my way. But hey, who has the perfect life (and wouldn't that be boring)?! My life is good!!

As a recipient of this dish when Kris brought it to our house (after Aaron was born) I must say that it is one of our entire family's ALL TIME FAVORITES. It rocked our world. This is a definite hit, with mostly anyone-- kids, adults, picky eaters, you name it!
This sounds great! I think I'll be trying it soon and I'll let you know how it turns out!
Sounds good (and with ingrediants I usually have on hand).
Thanks for posting the recipe!
