It is a wonderful, sweet and tangy sauce. We tried it on our grilled chicken one night and it was wonderful. I imagine it would be great on any of your grilled meats – even your grilled veggies! I knew I wanted to do a little something more than just grill with it. I pondered the idea for awhile and then the idea came to me. I wanted to make a pasta dish with the BBQ sauce … And this BBQ Chicken Bacon Pasta Bake was born. (I also made another dish using their sauce – and that recipe will be coming to the blog too! I’ll even give ya a hint – it has something to do with cornbread!)

We served it up with a spinach salad and rolls. The BBQ sauce was just enough without being overpowering. My family loved this tasty casserole and I hope yours does as well! 

(For the record, I hate this daylight savings time/not daylight savings time stuff …. by the time dinner rolls around now, it is completely pitch-black dark outside. I am trying to find a way to rectify the lack of natural lighting, so please bare with me while I figure out how to make my pictures turn out not so dark.)

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Coat a 9x13-in. baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
3. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine the flour, milk, cream of chicken soup, BBQ sauce and garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in half of the cheese. Remove from the heat and set aside.
