Bacon Spaghetti

During WW2, my husband Allen’s grandmother and her sisters lived together while their husbands were off at war. Beef was hard to come by because of rations, so in order to have meat sauce for their spaghetti, they used bacon, which was more readily available. To this day, it’s a winter staple for the Zarings, and it is sooooo good.
