Walking Dead - BBQ Brain Spaghetti

Halloween is just around the corner, along with another season of The Walking Dead.  Yes the show is  GREAT but if you are anything like me, you love the comics even more.  

I wont get into details on how I wish they stuck closer to the graphic novel -- point is, this brain like recipe will get you even more in the mood for some "walkers".

The Goods:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 3 1/2 cups BBQ sauce of choice
• 1 to 2 pounds cooked pork
• 1 pound spaghetti

Tutorial:

                   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. 

Saute the pepper and onion until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. 

Stir in the garlic salt. 

Add the BBQ sauce and bring to a boil. 

Reduce the heat to a low simmer and add the chopped meat.

Meanwhile, fill a large pot with water and bring to boil. 

Season liberally with salt and add spaghetti. 

Cook until al dente (firm but not hard), about 7 minutes, and drain. 

Toss spaghetti with sauce.

Enjoy getting dirty like a zombie! MMMmmMm!
