Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb spaghetti noodles
- 6 slices bacon chopped
- 1 Lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tsp Tabasco sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 Lb deli pastrami roughly chopped
- 1/3 c. pepperoni chopped
- 2 Tbsp jalapeno
- 1/2 c. sliced mushrooms
- 1 can diced olives
- ½ c. beef broth
- 14 oz fired roasted diced tomatoes
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- green onions chopped
Instructions
- Heat a large deep skillet to medium-high heat. Add bacon and fry until crisp, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet add ground beef. When beef is browned stir in onions and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in bacon, pastrami, pepperoni, jalapeno, mushrooms and olives. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
- Add beef broth and cook for an additional 5 minutes or so. Stir in tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and reduce heat to low (at this point you can also throw everything in a crock pot and cook on low heat for a few hours. If it gets too thick, add another can of fire roasted tomatoes and a little more beef broth). Prepare spaghetti noodles according to package directions. Drain noodles well, add to meat sauce, and toss it all together (or you can serve with the sauce over the top). Top with sharp cheddar cheese and green onions.
