Creamy Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta Recipe

If you are looking for a delicious, hearty, filling, cheesy, and creamy meal, you will want to try this Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta. It contains ground beef which is cooked until browned, creamy alfredo sauce, crispy bacon, and stringy cheese. I used healthier options such as whole wheat pasta, reduced fat cheese and I always buy 90/10 ground beef. This meal was fairly simple to make and the perfect meal for those busy weekdays!

Why You Will Love the Creamy Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta Recipe

This pasta is full of flavor. It combines browned ground beef with crispy bacon, soft and decadent pasta, creamy alfredo sauce, and ooey gooey cheese that will completely melt in your mouth.

Although this recipe isn't deemed as healthy, I used healthier options for those that are health conscious like myself. I used 90/10 ground beef, a no sugar added bacon (which you should be able to find at your local grocery store), whole grain pasta instead of regular, and reduced fat cheese. If you want to choose a healthier alfredo sauce, Primal Kitchen has no dairy sauces as well.

The Idea Behind This Recipe:

Kevin sent me this cheeseburger pasta recipe and it's from Easy Recipes by Cren on Facebook and since this week was much busier than usual (I got a flat tire, went to the grocery store several times, and had to take Jace to the doctor), I wanted to resort to a quick, easy, and family-friendly meal. 

This creamy bacon cheeseburger alfredo pasta did the trick. Jace loves alfredo (loves, loves, loves) and, although this sounds like quite the combination, it was surprisingly really good.

Ingredients for Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta:

*This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission if you purchase using any of my links. For more information, please read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

  • 1 pound 90/10 ground beef
  • 4 slices no sugar added bacon
  • *2 cups whole grain penne pasta
  • *1 cup alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
  • Onion powder, as needed

    • Note: For a creamier sauce, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and stir it in with the alfredo and cheese. If you prefer a thicker, richer texture, skip the pasta water and add an extra handful of cheddar. You can also swap whole grain pasta for chickpea or protein pasta to keep this dish lighter.

How to Make Creamy Bacon Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta:

✓ Step #1: Cook the Ground Beef – Cook and brown ground beef in a skillet for 5–7 minutes. Add onion powder if you would like. Drain the grease.

Homemade Hamburger Helper Recipe Kevin (my fiancé) loves homemade hamburger helper and this recipe tasted way better than any boxed hamburger helper out there. Hamburger helper is nostalgic for me though. Growing up in the 90's, I do remember having it every once in awhile. Homemade is always a better choice, though. This recipe is easy to whip up in one pan, making cleanup simple and dinner fast. This homemade hamburger helper combined creamy cheese, with tender pasta, and had great seasoning choices which included onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder for a little kick. It was flavorful, and really good, with Jace and I both rating it an 8/10 and wanting to make it again. Skip the box!
