Description

Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta: A Flavor-Packed Fusion of Comfort Food Classics


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounce pasta (penne or rotini)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta: Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside, ready to be incorporated into the cheesy Alfredo goodness.

2. Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until softened. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it’s nicely browned. Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Now, stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. The beefy, seasoned mixture is the foundation for this loaded pasta dish.

3. Make the Creamy Alfredo Sauce: To create the rich and velvety Alfredo sauce, pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat. Slowly add the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. The cheese melts into the sauce, creating a luxurious coating for the pasta.

4. Combine Everything: Now, it’s time to bring all the components together. Add the cooked pasta and crumbled bacon to the skillet, tossing everything gently to ensure the pasta is fully coated in the cheesy Alfredo goodness. Allow the flavors to meld together for 2-3 minutes, letting the pasta soak up all that irresistible bacony, cheeseburger-inspired goodness.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta to a serving dish and garnish it with fresh parsley. Get ready to wow your family and friends with this flavor-packed, comforting masterpiece!
