If you’re looking for a change from your normal spaghetti, Cowboy spaghetti could be just what you’re looking for. I had not heard of this until recently but I decided to give it a try and it turned out great. This recipe comes from the Food Network. Cowboy spaghetti adds a nice smokey flavor to your normal spaghetti. It gets a lot of its flavor from fire roasted tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and bacon. If you want to up the heat a little bit just add more hot sauce. This delicious spaghetti is topped with green onions and shredded cheddar cheese.

i tried this recipe tonight and it came out really well. i didnt have any beer, so i went without, and i used a can of diced tomatoes and chilies in place of the fire roasted tomatoes. it is something that i will be making again in the future. thanks!
I always said that bacon was an excellent addition to spaghetti.
I made this the other weekend (sans cheese) – loved it! Thanks for posting!
My family loves this recipe, we sub monterey jack for cheddar and like it a lot better.
