Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Proteins

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Pasta and Sauce

  • 2 cups penne pasta, cooked
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce

Cheese and Toppings

  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup diced pickles
  • 1/4 cup diced onions

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef thoroughly until fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat to keep the dish from becoming too greasy.
  2. Combine pasta and sauce: In a large pot, add the cooked penne pasta and pour in the Alfredo sauce. Stir gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
  3. Add cooked beef and cheese: Mix the browned ground beef and shredded cheddar cheese into the pasta and Alfredo sauce mixture, stirring until well combined and the cheese begins to melt, binding everything together.
  4. Fold in extras: Gently fold in the crispy crumbled bacon pieces, diced pickles, and chopped onions for added texture and a burst of savory and tangy flavors.
  5. Serve hot: Dish the loaded cheeseburger Alfredo pasta onto plates or bowls while hot to enjoy the creamy, cheesy, and hearty flavors at their best.

Notes

  • For a crispier bacon texture, cook bacon in the oven or air fryer before crumbling.
  • If preferred, substitute penne with other pasta shapes like rotini or fusilli.
  • Add a pinch of black pepper or red chili flakes for a mild kick.
  • To make this dish ahead, prepare everything except the bacon and add just before serving to retain crispiness.
  • Use low-fat Alfredo sauce for a lighter version, though it may affect creaminess.
