No canned soup in this version! I improvised on a recipe I found in the 1968 copy of New Casserole Cookery,by Marian Tracy, a casserole pioneer who published her first book in 1941. Bacon, as always, takes this recipe over the top. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti |
4 slices bacon |
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced |
3 green onions, chopped |
1/2 green pepper, minced |
1/2 red pepper, minced |
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, crushed |
2 cups cooked chicken, cubed |
8 ounces heavy cream |
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Break uncooked spaghetti into 2 inch pieces. Put in pot of boiling, salted water 7-8 minutes. Drain.
2. Fry bacon till crispy. Remove bacon and in remaining bacon grease saute mushrooms, onions and peppers till soft.
3. Add tomatoes, chicken, salt and pepper.
4. In a greased 13X 9 inch baking dish layer 1/3 of the cooked spaghetti, then 1/3 of the chicken mixture.
5. Repeat until there are 3 layers.
6. Pour heavy cream all over.
7. Cover with parmesan cheese.
8. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
