Ingredients
- 12 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or shells) (penne, rotini, or shells)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 slices bacon chopped
- 1½ cups Alfredo sauce store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley or green onion for garnish
- Pickles or mustard optional, for topping
Instructions
- Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
- Add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to season the beef.
- Return the cooked bacon to the pan. Add Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir to combine and heat through.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Simmer 2–3 minutes until everything is hot and creamy.
- Sprinkle remaining cheddar and mozzarella on top. Cover with a lid for 2 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve hot, topped with parsley or green onion — and optional pickles or a drizzle of mustard for that “burger” touch.
Notes
- Use rotini, penne, or medium shells — they hold the sauce best.
- Add jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
- Replace Alfredo with homemade cream sauce if preferred.
- Can be baked after assembly for a bubbly pasta bake version.
- Leftovers are even better the next day — just add a splash of milk before reheating.
