Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta Skillet

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

2 cups cooked rotini or penne pasta

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup beef bacon, cooked and crumbled

→ Sauce

1 cup milk

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until well browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain off excess fat.

Sprinkle flour over the browned beef. Stir to coat evenly, then gradually add milk while whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce.

Incorporate ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken.

Add cooked pasta, crumbled beef bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir thoroughly until cheese is melted and pasta is well coated in sauce.

Serve immediately while hot. For added flavor, top with extra cheddar or more crumbled beef bacon if desired.
