Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pasta

I also like to think of this dish as the American version of fried rice.

It’s 100% kid-tested kid-invented and mother family-approved  I can take absolutely no credit for this recipe.

One night back in October while I was away, Patrick gave PJ the option of ordering pizza for dinner or going grocery shopping and creating his own.  PJ chose the latter and Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pasta was born.

Ingredients

• 1 Box of your favorite pasta (we love Barilla Plus)
• 1/2 pound of bacon, cooked and crumbled (or 1/2 cup of real bacon bits)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup of shredded cheese divided (PJ used swiss slices the first time and shredded cheddar the second.  Cheddar won.)
• Non-stick spray

1. Cook and drain pasta according to instructions on box.
2. Heat large skillet over medium heat.
3. Spray skillet with non-stick spray.
4. Scramble egg and 1/2 cup of cheese in skillet until not runny.
5. Add bacon and pasta.
6. Heat through.
7. Remove from heat and place in serving bowl.
8. Sprinkle remainder of cheese on top.
9. Enjoy!
