Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet (Printable Version)

A cheesy one-pan mix of bacon, beef, and pasta that's ready quick and sure to please everyone at the table.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled beef bacon
02 - 2 cups cooked penne or rotini noodles
03 - 1 pound ground beef
04 - 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

→ Sauce

05 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
06 - 1/4 cup ketchup
07 - Black pepper to taste
08 - Salt to taste
09 - 1/4 cup flour, all-purpose
10 - 1 cup milk

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Grab some bowls and spoon it up while it’s still steamy. Want more flavor? Scatter on extra cheddar or toss on extra beef bacon bits.
02 - Dump in the noodles, cheddar, and those bacon crumbles. Stir the whole thing until the cheese’s all gooey and the pasta’s coated.
03 - Pour in your ketchup and Worcestershire. Sprinkle in a little salt and black pepper. Give it a good stir and let it bubble on low for 2-3 minutes so it gets nice and thick.
04 - Toss the flour over your beef. Mix it around, then slowly pour in the milk, whisking the whole time. It'll turn into a smooth sauce.
05 - Heat up your skillet on medium. Crumble in the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with your spatula, until it’s browned. Drain off any leftover grease.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Wanna boost the taste? Go for sharp cheddar and smoky beef bacon. Make sure your noodles are a little firm before mixing in—they'll soften up in the skillet.
