Ingredients
  

Fettuccine Pasta
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta This will serve as the base of your dish, providing a hearty texture.
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped Crispy bacon adds a delicious crunch and smoky flavor.
  • 1 pound ground beef This is the star protein that gives the dish its cheeseburger essence.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder A must-have for that aromatic flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder This enhances the overall taste, making it more savory.
  • salt and pepper to taste Essential for seasoning and bringing out the flavors.
  • 1 cup heavy cream This creates the creamy Alfredo sauce that binds everything together.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Adds a rich, cheesy flavor that complements the dish.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese This cheese adds depth and a touch of nuttiness.
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions For a fresh, vibrant garnish.
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes These add a burst of freshness and color to the dish.

Equipment

  • large pot
  • Large Skillet

Method
 

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, keeping the drippings in the skillet.
  3. Sauté the ground beef in the same skillet with bacon drippings, seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Add heavy cream to the skillet with the beef, stirring to combine. Then add cheddar and Parmesan cheese, cooking over low heat until melted and thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Combine the cooked fettuccine with the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat. Stir in the crispy bacon, green onions, and diced tomatoes.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra cheese or green onions if desired.
