Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions. Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside for later use.
Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Brown the beef thoroughly, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. If there’s excess fat after cooking, drain it off.
Step 3: Season the Beef
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir in the beef broth, ketchup, and mustard, mixing well.
Step 4: Melt in the Cream Cheese
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the beef mixture. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5: Add Cheese and Bacon
Incorporate shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon into the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts and everything is well combined.
Step 6: Combine with Pasta
Toss the previously cooked rotini pasta into the skillet. Stir to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the cheesy beef mixture.
Step 7: Serve
Serve the Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta hot, and if desired, garnish with fresh parsley.
