Categories     Dinner

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 pound elbow macaroni
salt ((for water))
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon sugar ((heaping - my family loves 2 tablespoons - but I only put in 1))
10 slices bacon ((sautéed and chopped))
1 pound Velveeta cheese ((sliced and tear as you layer it in))
1 cup almond milk

Steps:

  • Fill a large sauce pan 3/4 with water, add salt and bring it to a boil.
  • Sauté bacon until crispy (around 10 minutes) remove from pan, blot with paper towel to remove grease and cut in chunks.
  • Open can of tomatoes and add sugar and bacon and stir to combine. You may have to transfer it to a mixing bowl to fit all the bacon. I just keep it in the can.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • The water should have come to a boil. Add elbows and cook for 10 minutes. It's okay for it to be al dente. Drain and run cold water over them to stop from cooking further.
  • Put a layer of tomato sauce on bottom of medium casserole dish.
  • Add a layer of elbows and ladle some tomato sauce over them. Be generous.
  • Tear the cheese into smaller pieces and place on top of sauce layer.
  • Repeat layering, you will have at least 4 layers ending with cheese.
  • Pour milk in until you can see it 1/2 way up the casserole dish.
  • Bake covered for 30 minutes
  • Uncover and bake for additional 30 minutes.
  • Serve
  • Smile
  • Enjoy

PASTA WITH BACON AND TOMATOES



Pasta with Bacon and Tomatoes image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds plum tomatoes (about 10)
6 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
12 ounces spaghetti
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley or basil, chopped
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Hull the tomatoes and cut a shallow "x" through the skin on the bottom of each. Prepare an ice bath.
  • Put the tomatoes in the boiling water and boil for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and submerge in the ice bath. Reserve the pot of boiling water. When the tomatoes are cool, use the back of a paring knife to peel the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and squeeze out and discard the seeds, then chop the tomatoes into approximately 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Put the bacon in a large cold skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet.
  • Add the onion to the drippings in the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and pale golden, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down, about 5 minutes.
  • Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions in the reserved pot of tomato water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Add the pasta to the skillet with the sauce, along with 1/2 cup of the cooking water and toss to coat. Add more water if necessary for desired consistency. Stir in half the bacon and half the herbs and season with salt and pepper. Divide the pasta and sauce among bowls and top with the remaining bacon and herbs. Serve with Parmesan for topping.

BLT CASSEROLE



BLT Casserole image

Why make a single bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich when you can bake a big dish for a crowd? A glaze of bacon fat across the top adds an extra salty-smoky punch, and a quick trip under the broiler makes the top extra crispy.

Provided by Joe Sevier

Categories     Summer     Casserole/Gratin     Kid-Friendly     Bacon     Lettuce     Tomato     Bread     Bake     Dinner     Small Plates

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces crusty Italian or country-style bread, cut into 1" cubes (about 8 cups)
1 pound thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1" pieces
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock or broth
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 head romaine, washed, dried very well, cut into 1" slices
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, tossing once, until dry to the touch and slightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to render and bacon browns, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a small bowl, reserving 3 Tbsp. fat.
  • Whisk eggs, stock, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and 2 Tbsp. bacon fat in a large bowl. Add bread and gently toss to combine. Add bacon and tomatoes and stir to combine. Let sit until bread has absorbed most of the liquid, about 15 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Add lettuce to bread mixture and stir to combine. Transfer mixture to a 13x9" baking dish and bake until top is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Brush surface with remaining 1 Tbsp. bacon fat, turn broiler on, and continue baking until tops of bread are glistening and well toasted, 3-5 minutes more. Garnish with chives, if using, and serve immediately.
  • Do Ahead
