Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta:
    • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Bacon:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, leaving some bacon fat in the skillet for flavor.
  3. Cook the Beef and Vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
    • Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Add the butter and heavy cream, stirring until the butter melts.
    • Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy. If using, add Italian seasoning and garlic powder, mixing well.
  5. Combine Everything:
    • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the Alfredo sauce. Stir in the cooked bacon and ground beef mixture, combining everything evenly.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve immediately, garnished with additional cheese and chopped parsley if desired.

Tips

  • Add Vegetables: Consider adding chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce if needed.
  • Spice It Up: For a spicy kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the beef mixture.
