Greek Style Beef and Pasta

Once again I saw this recipe, & just had to try it. It was very good even though I did not eat the feta cheese myself. The hubs did though. In my book it is a keeper!
Serves 5

2 1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta (8 oz)
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano, undrained
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 4 oz). Or I used Parmesan cheese on mine!

1. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package; cover to keep warm.

2. Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp, stirring frequently. Add ground beef. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.

3. Stir in olives, tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated. Serve over cooked pasta; sprinkle cheese over top.

Note- Parmesan cheese does not contain lactose & if you like feta, as long as it is made with goat or sheep's milk you are fine. Make sure you look at the label.
