How to Make Alberta Beef Mushroom And Pepper Pasta

  1. Cook 4 slices of bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the pan with the bacon grease and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add 1 lb ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour in 1 cup beef stock and 1/2 cup red wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Meanwhile, cook 1 lb pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside, keeping warm.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth. Stir into the beef mixture and set aside, keeping warm.
  9. In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 8 oz mushrooms, sliced, and sauté for 3 minutes.
  10. Add 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced, and sauté for another 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. To serve, top the cooked pasta with the beef mixture, then the mushroom and pepper mixture. Garnish with the crumbled bacon.
