YEEHAW! A spaghetti Kyle will eat! Cowboy style.

Kyle just hates most italian food and I usually cook it just to torture him. He especially hates spaghetti but loves it this way!

Cowboy Spaghetti baby..

1/2 pound Angel Hair
Kosher Salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
3 slices smoky bacon, chopped
1/2 cup beer, I didn't use this because I didn't have any and I wasn't going to drive 30 mins to get some. But the alcohol does cook out and leaves great flavor!
1 pound ground sirloin
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
Ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (14-ounce) can, chopped or crushed fire roasted tomatoes
1 (8-ounces) can, tomato sauce
8 ounces Cheddar
4 scallions, chopped

Heat a pot of water to a boil. Add spaghetti and salt the water. Cook according to package directions.

Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and bacon. Brown and crisp bacon, 5 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon. Drain off a little excess fat if necessary. Leave just enough to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add beef and crumble it as it browns. Add onions, bell pepper, garlic and stir into meat. Season the meat with salt and pepper, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Add 1/2 cup beer and deglaze the pan (if you use it). Cook 5 to 6 minutes more then stir in tomatoes and tomato sauce.

Add hot spaghetti to meat and sauce and combine. Adjust seasonings and serve up pasta in shallow bowls. Grate some cheese over the pasta and sprinkle with scallions. Garnish with crisp bacon
