Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
  • 6 slices turkey bacon (cooked and crispy)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the short pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the meat: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef along with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  3. Crisp the bacon: In another pan or once the meat is done, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Chop into small pieces.
  4. Create the sauce: Reduce heat to low in the skillet with meat; add cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Stir until melted into a creamy sauce.
  5. Combine everything: Add drained pasta to the skillet; toss gently to coat evenly in the sauce.
  6. Serve: Stir in crispy bacon pieces right before serving. Enjoy warm.
