Ingredients
- Ground beef: Provides the hearty burger foundation. Choose 80/20 for best flavor
- Bacon: Adds smoky crunch and depth. Thick cut works best here
- Penne pasta: Holds up well to the hearty sauce. The ridges catch more deliciousness
- Alfredo sauce: Creates the creamy base. Store bought works fine but homemade elevates it
- Cheddar cheese: Brings that classic burger taste. Sharp varieties add more flavor
- Chopped pickles: Offer bright acidity that cuts through richness. Trust me on this one
- Salt and pepper: To taste. The bacon adds saltiness so taste before adding more
