  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 7 minute

Ingredients

– 12 ounces of pasta (your choice; penne or rotini works well)
– 6 slices of bacon, diced
– 1 pound of ground beef (or ground turkey)
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon mustard powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped green onions, for garnish
– Optional: diced tomatoes and pickles, for serving


Instructions

Creating the Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta is simple and fun! Just follow these straightforward steps to achieve creamy, cheesy perfection:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside when finished.
2. Cook the Bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
3. Cook the Beef: In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat, if necessary.
4. Add Aromatics: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
5. Mix in the Flavor: Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, and season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooked pasta and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix well until everything is uniformly coated in the cheesy sauce.
7. Finish with Bacon: Fold in the crispy bacon, reserving some for garnish later.
8. Top with Cheese: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and place it under the broiler for about 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

With these steps, you are set to create the most satisfying Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta dish that will surely delight your taste buds!
