Our Bacon Chicken Tetrazzini recipe is amazing with bacon and without! Every creamy, cheesy bite is absolutely wonderful. You have to try it! Really.
My son absolutely goes bananas for this pasta dish and he always has. He has known how to make it for as long as I can remember and he continues to make it to this very day!
I’m sure he will use different vegetables, if he has to. He has seen me do that on many occasions and I am sure he can do it himself! I just know he loves this dish exactly as I have posted it and prefers it this way.
Our Bacon Chicken Tetrazzini is so good no matter which pasta you use, whether you include bacon – although my husband would argue that everything tastes better with it, or even chicken. For me the creamy, cheesy sauce is the star of this dish and everything else matters little!
