Instructions
Creating Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta is simple and enjoyable! Follow these easy steps for a delicious homemade dish:
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Fry the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
3. Brown the Beef: In the same skillet with the leftover bacon fat, add ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Brown until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Make the Alfredo Sauce: Pour in heavy cream, stirring continuously. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, then gradually mix in both Parmesan and cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
6. Combine: Add the cooked fettuccine and half of the crispy bacon to the skillet. Toss everything to combine and ensure pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasonings with more salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve: Transfer to serving plates and top each portion with remaining bacon, fresh parsley, and extra cheese if desired.
With these straightforward steps, you’ll have a plateful of delicious Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta ready to impress everyone!
