Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta 

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

• In a large pot, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Bacon

• In the same pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the drippings in the pot.

3. Brown the Beef

• In the bacon drippings, add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

4. Create the Sauce

• Stir in the beef broth, milk, Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.

5. Combine Everything

• Add the cooked pasta to the pot, stirring to coat the pasta in the sauce. Fold in the crispy bacon, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If the pasta seems dry, add a little more milk or beef broth until the desired creaminess is achieved.

6. Serve

• Serve the Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta hot, topped with the remaining cheddar cheese and any optional toppings, such as sliced pickles or chopped green onions.

Tips for Success

• Add Vegetables: Consider adding some chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition and flavor.
• Make It Spicy: For a kick, add some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
• Cheese Lovers Unite: Feel free to mix in different types of cheese, like mozzarella or pepper jack, for added flavor and creaminess.
