Ingredients

• For the Protein:
• 1 pound ground beef
• 8 strips bacon, chopped
• For the Pasta:
• 16 oz fettuccine pasta
• For the Sauce:
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• For Additional Flavor:
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• Chopped parsley for garnish

Preparation Method

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan for extra flavor.

In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the ground beef. Cook until fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Continuously stir until the cheeses have fully melted, creating a rich, smooth sauce.

Add the cooked fettuccine pasta and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the cheesy, creamy sauce.

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra smoky flavor, try using smoked cheddar or adding a dash of smoked paprika to the sauce.
