This recipe is super delicious. I wouldn’t even want to know
what the calories are in this recipe but it’s worth the investment! I found the
recipe on www.bellyfull.net. I changed
it up a bit to what I had on hand and I didn’t follow the directions exactly
the way Belly Full wrote them out, but that was simply because I didn’t read
the directions until I was already halfway done. I guess I got the directions
in my head the way I thought they should be verses the way they were. Nevertheless
the recipe is super delish!
Honestly I had reservations. It’s a very odd and off the
wall recipe if you ask me, but it performs in the end. We all loved it. We actually
had it as a main dish but you could serve it on the side that’s for sure. For your
waist line that’s probably the way it should be served. This would be great for
a potluck, or church event, or even to take to a party. My intention was a work
potluck, but instead I got the flu and missed it.
Please give this a try. I think it will surprise you!! We thought
the taste was even better the second day. It says you can eat it hot or cold
but I wasn’t a fan of it cold. I liked it either heated or room temperature.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound dried Rotini
- 1 pound uncooked bacon
- 1 pound 90/10 ground beef
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup barbeque sauce (I used G. Hughes sugar free)
- 2 tablespoons Spicy Brown Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Heinz Worcestershire sauce
- 2-1/2 teaspoons Sriracha Sauce
- 1 can (15 ounce) Whole Kernel Golden Sweet Corn, drained
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (Optional I omitted)
- 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I used any cheese mix I had on hand)
- 5 diced green onions
Directions:
- In a large pot Cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot (to prevent additional mess) add diced bacon and cook in small batches until all the bacon is cooked. Allow bacon to drain on a few paper towels and set aside. Remove bacon grease from the pot, but there isn’t any need to wash the pot. The bacon drippings will add flavor.
- Add ground beef to the same pot. Cooked on a medium heat and break up the meat as you are cooking it. Once the meat is cooked and the grease has been drained mix in the cumin, red pepper flakes and the salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Sriracha Sauce until combined and smooth. Add pasta, bacon, beef, drained corn, cheese, and green onions. Mix well
- Eat right away or place in the refrigerator and re-heat when you are ready to eat. We found that the longer it sits the better it will taste.
