Ingredients 📝
8 oz pasta (macaroni, rotini, or your preferred type)
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup beef broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions 👩🍳
Prepare the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.
Brown the meat: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is browned. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until aromatic. Season with salt and black pepper.
Incorporate broth and simmer: Add the beef broth and allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it has slightly reduced.
Create a creamy sauce: Reduce the heat and mix in the heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Gradually incorporate the cheddar and mozzarella, stirring until they melt and the sauce becomes smooth.
Combine ingredients: Add the cooked pasta and crumbled bacon, mixing thoroughly until everything is well coated.
Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and additional bacon crumbles if desired.
