Ingredients
- 8 ounces elbow macaroni
- 4 slices of crispy, cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup diced pickles (optional)
- ½ cup diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
- First things first! Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the beef, and mix well. This is where the flavors start to get funky!
- Now, it’s time to bring it all together. In the same skillet, add the cooked macaroni, chopped bacon, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until it’s all combined and bubbly!
- Now, for the grand finale: fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into a creamy, cheesy pool of goodness. Yum!
- If you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some diced pickles and tomatoes for that extra cheeseburger flair. Really, milkshake-style pickles are the way to go!
- Once everything is mixed up and smelling delicious, transfer it to a baking dish and sprinkle more cheese and bacon on top (yes, more cheese!). Pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until it’s golden and bubbly.
And there you have it! A dish that combines the best of cheeseburgers and mac and cheese. Dig in and enjoy every bite — your taste buds will thank you for this flavor fiesta!
