Since I have received requests from people for frozen dinners before baby arrivals, I thought this one was perfect. And can easily be made gluten free.
John Mazetti
1 lb. Ground Beef (Have thought about using ground turkey, but have not tried it yet.)
1/3 lb. bacon – i have switched to Turkey Bacon before and it tastes fine.
2 med chopped onions
28 oz diced tomatoes (Nick prefers petite diced)
8 oz med noodles
dash of salt and pepper
1/3 lb. cheddar cheese (I never measure it…just enough to cover the entire top layer of the pan you are using)
Begin boiling water for noodles. Brown bacon and drain. Cut up bacon into small pieces and set aside. Add noodles to boiling water. Brown beef in bacon fat (I don’t always do this due to health reasons) and add onions. Add seasoning, tomatoes, and bacon. Stir. Drain noodles and add to mixture. Place in dish and add grated cheese. (You can do one 9 by 13 pan or 2 smaller ones. If you do the smaller ones you can freeze one for later and have one for dinner tonight!)
Bake uncovered at 350 for 45 minutes.
mmmm...this looks delish! Can't wait to try it!
