• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 🌶️
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Salt, to taste
• 6 slices bacon, cooked crispy and chopped 🥓

For the Alfredo Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons butter 🧈
• 3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 🥛
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions 👨‍🍳

1. Cook the Pasta 🍝

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook it according to the package directions until al dente (tender but firm).
• Drain the pasta, toss with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.

2. Prepare the Bacon 🥓

• In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then chop it into small pieces. Set aside.

3. Brown the Ground Beef 🥩

• In the same skillet (with a little bacon grease for extra flavor), add the ground beef.
• Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.
• Cook over medium heat, breaking the beef into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked (about 5–6 minutes).
• Drain excess grease and set the beef aside with the bacon.

4. Make the Alfredo Sauce 🧄🧀

• In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat.
• Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant (don’t let it brown).
• Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
• Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

Pro Tip: For an extra smooth sauce, keep the heat low while adding the Parmesan cheese to avoid clumping.

5. Combine Everything 🥳

• Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce, stirring to coat each piece in creamy goodness.
• Stir in the seasoned ground beef and chopped bacon. Mix well so the flavors come together beautifully.

6. Add the Cheeseburger Twist 🧀🍔

• Sprinkle the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese over the pasta mixture.
• Cover the skillet (or use a lid) and let the cheese melt over low heat for about 2–3 minutes.
• Stir gently to create that gooey, cheesy texture that makes this dish irresistible!

7. Serve and Garnish 🌟

• Spoon the pasta into bowls or plates. Garnish with crispy bacon bits, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and pickle slices if you’re feeling adventurous! 🥒✨
• Serve hot and enjoy the delicious fusion of cheeseburger and Alfredo flavors!
