One-Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Mac & Cheese – a super simple weeknight dinner that is hearty and comes together with minimal dishes!
Before I started blogging, I thought there’d be no room for another food blogger because, really, how original can you be? Almost everything has been done before, and it’s hard to find an idea that’s new
Now I’m not some crazy lady that has bacon at every meal (and I’m not judging you if you are a crazy bacon lady), but I just love the flavour it brings to every dish. And you don’t even need a lot of it – just a sprinkle here or there, or a few slices chopped up and added to the base of a soup.
It doesn’t get much tastier than this Skillet Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta! This easy weeknight dinner is a great spin on an American classic and cooks in less than 20 minutes. This ground beef meal idea is a real crowd pleaser, will keep in the refrigerator for a few days and can easily be reheated later on.
Well, I don’t know about you, but for me, life just seems to get busier and more hectic every day. Often it means that preparing tasty, healthy meals that everyone in the house will love can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, so you’ll thank me for this really easy Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta recipe! It cooks up in a skillet and is ready to serve in almost no time at all.
One-Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Mac & Cheese
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 6
Calories: 632kcal
Ingredients:
- ½ tsp salt or more, to taste
- Additional ¼ - ¾ cup 1% milk if needed
- 2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth or water
- 2 cups 1% milk
- Chopped green onions
- 5 slices bacon chopped
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 3 ½ cups high fiber macaroni see note above for other types
Instructions:
- First, In a large pot, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, stirring. Remove from the pot and drain on paper towel to soak up excess grease.
- Second, To the pot add the beef. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until browned. Drain excess liquid or fat if there is any.
- Next, To the beef add the macaroni, broth/water, milk, salt and half of the cooked bacon.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often. If all of the cooking liquid is used up before the pasta is cooked, gradually add in the additional milk. Continue cooking, uncovered, stirring, adding milk if necessary, until the pasta is al dente. (You want a little extra liquid in the pot because the cheese will thicken things up)
- Add in 2 cups of cheese, and stir until melted.
- Garnish with remaining cheese, bacon, and green onions if desired.
