Sweet Ketchup and Thousand Island Pasta

I basically just threw this all together and changed it to my liking. I didn't use exact measurements when I made this, so I guessed close to the amounts for measurement. I'm sure you can add some other kind of vegetables with it.

Ingredients

• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• ¼ teaspoon minced garlic
• ¼ cup ketchup
• 2 slices bacon, chopped
• 2 cups spiral-shaped noodles
• ½ cup Thousand Island salad dressing
• ¼ cup pickled jalapeno pepper juice (Optional)
• 3 tablespoons steak sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.

Step 2

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; add onion and garlic to the bacon. Cook and stir the bacon mixture until the onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes more.

Step 3

Stir cream, Thousand Island dressing, pepper juice, ketchup, and steak sauce with the bacon mixture; season with basil and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes; add drained pasta and stir to coat.
