Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 6 slices crispy bacon
  • 8 oz rotini or penne pasta
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mustard
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Garlic powder or seasoning blends to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels, leaving some bacon grease in the pan for flavor.
  3. In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  4. Add diced onions to the beef and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of garlic powder or seasoning blends.
  5. Stir in the cooked pasta, ketchup, mustard, and any additional seasonings. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the pasta mixture. Stir until the cheese melts and everything is combined.
  7. Crumble the cooked bacon over the top and stir it in gently. Save some for garnish if desired.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese, chopped green onions, or pickles, if you like. Enjoy your Loaded Beef Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta!
