Ingredients
- 1 pound beef
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 cups pasta
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped pickles
- ¼ cup diced onions
Instructions
- Cook the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned. Drain excess grease and return the beef to the skillet.
- Add the sauce and cheese: Stir in the Alfredo sauce, shredded cheddar, and cooked bacon. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 3 minutes until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine with pasta: Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet, stirring until everything is evenly coated in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk or reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
- Finish and serve: Stir in chopped pickles and diced onions (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Serve hot.
