Prep: 10 min | Cook: 20 min | Total: 30 min

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 8 ounces pasta (such as rotini or penne)
• 1 pound ground beef
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 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 skillet, crumble, and set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
3. In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add the ground beef to the skillet with onions and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
5. Stir in the ketchup, mustard, beef broth, and milk into the skillet with the beef mixture. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Stir well to combine and ensure the pasta is evenly coated.
7. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Add the crumbled bacon, reserving some for garnish if desired.
8. Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and the reserved bacon crumbles. Serve hot.

Pro Tips for Perfect Pasta 🥘

• Switch Up the Cheese: While cheddar is a classic choice, you can use mozzarella or a mix of cheeses for extra creaminess.
