Skillet BLT
I love pasta, but my husband just likes it, so I don’t cook it much when cooking for dinner. But this is a recipe he can get behind, because, well, bacon. I’m not sure if it’s the broiled cheese on top that makes him like it, or the type of canned diced tomatoes, but I know he loves the bacon. This is a recipe I look forward to making when the scorching hot days of summer are coming to an end.
Fall is here, but it’s still warm outside. Luckily, we have very good AC, so we don’t worry about heating up the house by cooking. And, I have a brand new kitchen, after 4 years of living in an RV. I’ll have to write about this pretty soon. Maybe a video.
Until then, I hope you enjoy this easy meal.
