How this recipe comes together
Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta offers a relatively simple cooking process with big flavor payoffs. You’ll first sauté ground beef until it’s browned, then mix it with crispy crumbled bacon. While the beef cooks, you’ll boil the penne pasta just the right amount to achieve that perfect al dente texture. Once everything is combined, the Alfredo sauce envelops the pasta, creating a creamy, luxurious dish topped with melted cheese. It’s that easy!
What you’ll need
To recreate this comforting dish, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups penne pasta, cooked
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Feel free to swap out the penne for your favorite pasta or replace the ground beef with turkey for a lighter option!
