This Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta combines the rich flavors of a classic cheeseburger with creamy Alfredo sauce and penne pasta, creating a hearty, indulgent dish perfect for a comforting weeknight meal or a crowd-pleasing dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Proteins

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

Pasta & Sauces

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

Cheese & Toppings

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup pickles, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup onions, diced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Stir occasionally to break it into crumbles. Once browned, drain any excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
  2. Mix Pasta & Sauce: In a large pot or mixing bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta with the Alfredo sauce. Add the cooked ground beef and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything thoroughly to ensure the cheese melts into the sauce and coats the pasta evenly.
  3. Add Bacon & Toppings: Gently fold in the crumbled bacon along with the optional chopped pickles and diced onions if using. These add extra texture and flavor to the dish.
  4. Serve: Transfer the loaded bacon cheeseburger Alfredo pasta to serving plates or bowls and enjoy immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, use turkey bacon or lean ground turkey instead of beef and regular bacon.
  • Feel free to add a handful of fresh spinach or diced tomatoes for added color and nutrients.
  • Pickles and onions are optional but add a nice tang and crunch that mimics cheeseburger toppings.
  • Make sure to drain excess fat from the cooked beef to prevent the pasta dish from becoming too oily.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled to serve more people.
