Loaded Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta

A rich and creamy pasta dish combining the classic flavors of a cheeseburger with a hearty Alfredo sauce, complete with ground beef and crispy bacon.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

8 ounces fettuccine or penne pasta
1 pound ground beef
4 slices of bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, pickles, or extra cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the pasta. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small amount of pasta water.
Step 2: Cook the bacon. In the same pot over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, leaving the drippings in the pot.
Step 3: Brown the ground beef. Add the ground beef to the bacon drippings and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Create the Alfredo sauce. Pour in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Gradually add the shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, stirring constantly until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 5: Combine pasta and sauce. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency. Stir in the crispy bacon.
Step 6: Serve and garnish. Serve the Loaded Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta immediately. Top with optional toppings like chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, pickles, or extra cheese for added flavor.

Notes

For extra cheesiness, sprinkle a little extra cheddar on top before serving. A dash of hot sauce can add a nice kick! Consider serving with a simple side salad.
