Equipment

  • Large skillet or sauté pan
  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Slotted spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Chef’s knife and cutting board
  • Serving bowls or plates

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.
