This casserole, from Lunds & Byerly's, has no lettuce - it also has several ingredients that are not traditional B.L.T. flavors. But it sure sounds like something my boys would like, so I'm posting it here for menu planning.
Ingredients:
8 ounces fusilli, bucati
12 ounces bacon, diced
1 lb ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
2 cups seeded diced tomatoes
2 cups chopped packed spinach
8 ounces shredded aged cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups coarsely crushed garlic-flavored croutons
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Cook pasta according to package directions.
3. Cook bacon in large oven-proof skillet until crisp; transfer to paper towels to drain. Discard all but 2 tablespoons bacon drippings. Add ground beef, onion, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper; cook until beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess drippings; discard. Stir pasta, bacon, mayonnaise, sour cream, tomatoes, spinach and cheese into skillet.
4. Sprinkle crushed croutons over beef mixture in skillet. Bake until bubbly (20-25 minutes).
