I love happy accidents, especially when they involve food.

The other day my family was grumbling about being hungry. The problem was, I hadn’t been to the grocery store in awhile and the pickings for ingredients around our house was pretty slim.

I decided to scrape up whatever I could find and turn it into a meal. The result was this Bacon and Chipotle Cheddar Linguine recipe that has sense become a family favorite, requested multiple times over this past week, even!

The very best thing about this recipe is that it’s so incredibly simple. Stupid simple. So simple that each time my family requested it over the past week, I made it. It is seriously no sweat to make. Bacon and Chipotle Cheddar Linguine recipe from dineanddish.net

The star of this recipe is the Chipotle Cheddar Cheese from Cabot. No, this is not a sponsored post at all. I just really, really, REALLY love this cheese! I love it on pasta, in recipes, and sliced up to snack on by itself. It has just enough of a kick to make your mouth really happy! Sure you could use plain old cheddar cheese for this recipe, but if you want to take this dish up a notch, don’t forget the Chipotle Cheddar Cheese. In my opinion, it’s a must.

    This sounds fantastic. I love how these types of recipes happen. I have a spicy peanut butter noodle recipe that I constantly crave and it was to fruition only because my kiddos were hangry and I needed something fast. 🙂
