I rather enjoyed this recipe. I like finding recipes with unique ingredients & what caught my eye on this one was the addition of pickles with bacon. I had some left-over cooked spaghetti squash so I sub'd it for some of the pasta. I also added some bell peppers & jalapenos with the onions for even more flavour. Fairly easy to prepare & it turned out tasty tasty, thanks for sharing.

I made this for the " Bargain Basement Tag March 2012 " and for mine and my SO's dinner. I had some leftover spaghetti sauce which had everything in it that the sauce for this recipe required,plus some chopped red,yellow,and orange peppers.The only thing that I had to add was the bacon, and as a personal choice the pickles were left off. We both that that the sauce was pretty good,but the flavor of the "crust " was a bit on the bland side.If this or any other Spaghetti Pie is made, I think I just might add some type of Italian Seasonings to " perk up the crust. It didn't quite work for us, but thank you for taking time to post this recipe. " Keep Smiling :) "
