\nIngredients:
\n* 12 oz penne or pasta of choice
\n* 1 lb ground beef
\n* 1\/2 tsp salt
\n* 1\/2 tsp black pepper
\n* 1\/2 tsp garlic powder
\n* 1\/2 tsp onion powder
\n* 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
\n* 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
\n* 1 1\/2 cups heavy cream
\n* 1\/2 cup milk
\n* 1 tbsp butter
\n* 1 tbsp flour
\n* 1 tsp mustard (optional, for a burger-like tang)
\n* Optional: chopped pickles or tomatoes for garnish
\nInstructions:
\n1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
\n2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
\n3. In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
\n4. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
\n5. Stir in cheddar cheese and mustard until melted and smooth.
\n6. Add the cooked pasta, ground beef, and bacon into the cheese sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly.
\n7. Serve hot and garnish with extra cheese or toppings like chopped pickles if desired.
\nPro Tip:
\nTry topping each bowl with crispy onion rings or crushed potato chips for extra crunch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
