Cowboy Spaghetti

** This is from Rachel Ray's website and Shane love love loves this stuff. It's a southern twist to a pasta dish, pretty incredible.

1 lb spaghetti
1 T EVOO (olive oil)
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 lb ground sirloin or beef
3-4 cloves garlic
1 T hot sauce
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T chili powder
1/2 T cumin
1 can fire-roasted tomatoes (hard to find, so I use normal ones)
1 can tomato sauce

Cook pasta.

In skillet heat EVOO and bacon, brown and crisp then remove. Drain most fat. Add sirloin and brown 3-4 minutes.

Add onions and garlic, salt, pepper, hot sauce, W sauce, chili powder and cumin. Cook 5 min then add tomatoes and sauce - bring to bubble and cook 5 more minutes.

Cheese Sauce:

2 T butter
2 T flour
1 C chicken stock
1 C milk
2 and 1/2 C cheddar cheese
1/4 C pickled jalapenos (cowboy up and add more!)

Melt butter and stir in flour and cook one minute. Whisk in chicken stock and then milk. Thicken for 2 minutes then stir in cheese and melt for 2 minutes. Add jalepenos and season with salt and pepper.

Serves 6.
