Beer is an amazing alcoholic beverage. It can be drunk straight up, used as a shampoo to wash your hair, and also as an ingredient for cooking delicious and flavorsome chicken recipes.

Chicken Spaghetti with Beer Ingredients:
  • Cooked Spaghetti, 12 oz.
  • Butter, 1 tbsp.
  • Bacon Drippings, 2 tbsp.
  • Onions, 1 cup (chopped)
  • Celery, 1 cup (chopped)
  • Green Bell Peppers, 1 cup (chopped)
  • Mushrooms, 6 oz. (sliced)
  • Garlic Cloves, 3 (minced)
  • Chili Powder, 2 tsp.
  • Flour, 1 tbsp.
  • Beer, 1 pint
  • Tomatoes, 15 oz. (diced)
  • Chili Sauce, ¼ cup
  • Half and half, ¾ cup
  • Parsley, 2 tbsp. (minced)
  • Cooked Chicken, 4 cups (cut into chunks)
  • Pimiento, 2 oz. (cooked and drained)
  • Cheddar Cheese, 2 cups (shredded)
Preparation:
  • Preheat the oven to about 350° F and grease a large baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, toss the butter and spaghetti together, and then keep it aside.
  • Next, warm the drippings of bacon in a small skillet over a medium flame and cook the celery, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, garlic along with Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder, until the vegetables become tender.
  • If the mixture starts getting dry, make sure you cover the skillet. Sprinkle the flour while stirring it. Mix it well and add beer along with the chili sauce and tomatoes.
  • Bring the whole mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat. Cook for another 30 minutes until the mixture thickens. Once this is done, remove the pan from the stove and stir in the parsley and half and half.
  • Pour this sauce over the spaghetti and then toss well.
  • Layer half the sauce and spaghetti mixture into the baking dish. Top each half with cheese, chicken, and olives. Then, add the next spaghetti layer and repeat the toppings. The casserole should then be covered and refrigerated overnight.
  • Remove the casserole at least 30 minutes before you bake it. Bake the casserole for roughly 25 minutes, until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling over the edges.
