I would not call this spaghetti. I think I had some preconceptions about the dish going into it.
To start - yes, there is spaghetti in the dish. Spaghetti noodles. That’s as close as it is to spaghetti in the traditional sense.
There is no tomato sauce. The tomatoes mix well with the lima beans and onions. You do get a little bit of sauce from the juice from vegetables.
The bacon and the ground beef blend well to create a nice meaty flavor.
Overall the dish was very good. It just wasn’t what I was expecting.
