Ingredients
- 8 ounce fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
Instructions
1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Gradually stir in the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season the Alfredo sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.
3. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then mix in the BBQ sauce, ensuring the beef is evenly coated.
4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, the creamy Alfredo sauce, and the BBQ-flavored ground beef. Gently stir in the crumbled bacon until everything is well incorporated.
5. Using your hands, form the pasta mixture into patty shapes. Dredge each patty in the all-purpose flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even and crispy breading.
6. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F. Carefully lower the breaded pasta patties into the hot oil and fry them until they’re golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Once the deep-fried patties are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the Deep-Fried BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta hot, with an extra drizzle of BBQ sauce on top for an added burst of flavor.
Notes
To ensure your Deep-Fried BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta turns out perfectly, consider these helpful tips:
– While fettuccine is the classic choice, you can experiment with other long, ribbon-style pastas like linguine or pappardelle.
– Be mindful of the cooking times for each component. Overcooking the pasta or beef can lead to a mushy texture.
– The key to achieving that irresistible crunch in the deep-fried pasta patties is to maintain the oil temperature at 350°F and not overcrowding the fryer.
– If you have any leftover Deep-Fried BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta, allow the patties to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
