Ingredients for Cheeseburger Bacon Casserole:

• 3 cups of penne pasta, cooked and drained
• 6 strips of bacon, cooked and cut into chunks
• ½ onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 pound of medium ground beef
• 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp of tomato paste
• 1 cup of milk
• ¼ cup of ketchup
• 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp of salt
• 2 tsp of ground black pepper
• 2 tsp of Italian seasoning
• 1 cup of cheese
• 2 tbsp of freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

How to Make Cheeseburger Bacon Casserole:

Step 1

Place a pan on a stove over medium heat, then add the bacon, and fry it until crispy. Chop it into bite-sized chunks and set it aside, then place a pot on a stove over medium-high heat, and fill it with water and some salt. Bring it to a boil, then add the pasta, and cook it for about 10 minutes until al dente. Strain off all the water, then add some olive oil to the pasta, and stir until well coated before setting it aside.

Step 2

Drain off any excess bacon grease on the pan leaving enough for frying, then add the ground beef, and fry them until nice and brown. Move the beef to one side, then add the onion and garlic, and saute them until fragrant. Add the flour and give them a good stir, then cook them for about 2 minutes, add the tomato paste, and stir until combined.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the milk while stirring consistently, then add the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, and stir to combine. Add the seasoning, then give them another stir, add the pasta, and carefully toss until well incorporated. Now, add the bacon and give them a good mix, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve. Enjoy!
