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.
Tried this meal tonight. We like it, but Audrey loved it! We are going to try another one of your dishes tomorrow as well.
