    Cheeseburger Spaghetti Pie

    INGREDIENTS

    Crust
    6 oz. uncooked vermicelli or spaghetti
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon prepared mustard
    Filling
    1 lb. lean (at least 80%) ground beef  or ground turkey
    1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
    1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
    1/2 cup cooked real bacon pieces  or turkey bacon
    1 (15-oz.) can Italian-style tomato sauce
    4 oz. (1 cup) finely shredded Cheddar cheese  or use Weight watchers cheese
    9 dill pickle hamburger slices

    DIRECTIONS

    1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9 1/2-inch deep-dish or 10-inch glass pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cook vermicelli as directed on package. Drain. 2 In large bowl, beat egg and mustard until blended. Add cooked vermicelli; toss to coat evenly. Spoon mixture into sprayed pie pan, pushing mixture up sides of pan to form crust. 3 In 10-inch nonstick skillet, break up ground beef; add onion and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Cook over medium-high heat until beef is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain. 4 Stir in bacon and tomato sauce. Spoon evenly into vermicelli-lined pie pan, pushing to edge almost covering vermicelli. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the cheese. 5 Bake at 350°F. for 30 minutes. Top with pickle slices; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
    Spaghetti pies are a fun way to serve combinations of pasta, sauce and meat. When the pie is cooked, the top of the spaghetti around the edge becomes crispy while the pasta underneath is soft and tender.

    **I am going to use whole wheat spaghetti for a power food for weight watchers and use 90% ground beef or ground turkey. I am going to use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon. I am using already shredded Weight Watchers cheese!
