So I'm straying from my plans just a little bit but I've been talking about this recipe at work for a couple of days and I had to fix it. It's in the oven finishing off as I type. Dr Pepper Spaghetti!!! Ok, don't knock it until you've tried it! I promise I wouldn't lie to you.
Dr Pepper Spaghetti
1 c. chopped onion
2 t. minced garlic
1/2 t. Italian seasoning
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
12 oz. can Dr Pepper
15 oz. can tomato sauce
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
16 oz. cooked spaghetti
1 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella
Brown ground beef and drain well. Add onion, garlic and seasonings. Cook about 5 minutes. Add Dr Pepper, tomato sauce and Worcestershire; cook an additonal 5 minutes. Stir in cooked and drained spaghetti. Stir in cheese. Pour into a well greased cassesrole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Enjoy with a salad, green beans, garlic bread and an ICE COLD GLASS OF DR PEPPER!! :)
I got the recipe out of a little Dr Pepper cookbook I bought in Waco years ago and I've only actually cooked it twice. The first time I followed the recipe exactly, but the next time I made it I had some friends coming over and I tried to cook it differently. Instead of mixing it all together, I made the meat sauce and put it in the crock pot so I wouldn't heat the house too much. It doesn't taste sweet, but you can taste the Dr Pepper. When I made it in the crock pot it was much sweeter and the taste was a little stronger. I liked it both ways. But I am a "Pepper" afterall! Too bad God didn't make it something good for you or I'd never drink anything else!
My test subject... I mean Steve... will be here in a little while and this will be the first time he's ever had it. I'm not going to tell him and see if he can figure it out. hahaha I'll post a pic and the outcome later! Try it! I promise you will like it!
