Cheesy Bacon Chicken Pasta Casserole. New Music From The Gentlemen.

This is the 3rd time this month that a recipe I am posting has ‘Cheesy’ in the title. Four other recipes also had their share of cheese in the ingredients.

What can I say?

I love cheese.

Oh, yes. And bacon, too.

And pasta.

Put them all together with a generous portion of chicken and you have a rib-sticking, creamy casserole that everyone loves.

Cheesy Bacon Chicken Casserole

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces

2 teaspoons garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cook chicken in bacon drippings. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.

2. While chicken is cooking, prepare pasta according to package directions.

When I think of The Gentlemen, this is what comes to mind.

Far less scary is this wonderful new song from the band The Gentleman. The lovely vocals and dreamy quality had me hooked from the beginning. That boost of guitar a little bit into the tune just seals the deal.
