Ingredients:
For the Pasta:
- 12 oz pasta (penne, rigatoni, or fusilli)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup pickles, sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup cooked crispy bacon, crumbled (for garnish)
- Extra shredded cheddar cheese for garnish

Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Bacon:
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Leave a small amount of bacon grease in the skillet.
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and milk to the skillet with the beef and onions. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, and then stir in the cheddar cheese and Parmesan. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
- Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Combine the Pasta:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy cheeseburger sauce.
- Serve:
- Plate the pasta and top with the crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, pickles, and extra cheddar cheese.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your loaded bacon cheeseburger Alfredo pasta!
Tips:
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to mix in other cheeses like mozzarella or gouda for a different flavor.
- Extra Veggies: Add in some sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or even spinach for added texture and flavor.
- Make It Spicy: Add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the sauce for a spicy kick.
- Meat Options: You can swap ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or even sausage if preferred.
