🍔 Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta 🍔

A delectable twist on your classic burger, packed in a pasta dish that brings comfort to your table any day of the week!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 8 oz rotini pasta
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Fresh parsley, optional garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Begin by cooking your rotini pasta as per the package's instructions. Once done, drain it and set it aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it's browned and no longer pink. Be sure to drain any excess fat.
3. Sprinkle the cooked beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly.
4. Pour in the beef broth, followed by ketchup and mustard. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes, blending the flavors together.
5. Drop in the cream cheese, stirring continuously until it melts completely and blends into the mixture.
6. Gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts into a smooth, creamy sauce.
7. Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring it's evenly coated with the cheesy sauce.
8. Fold in most of the crumbled bacon, saving a small amount for garnishing.
9. Serve your pasta piping hot, topped with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and the remaining bacon crumbles for an extra touch of flavor.
