BACON CHEESEBURGER PASTA
I try to make foods that are not only kid friendly, but are also easy to reheat since my husband works long hours and often eats later than our children. If you like, use reduced-fat cheese and ground turkey for a lighter version. -Melissa Stevens, Elk River, Minnesota

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh ground beef, flavorful cheese, crispy bacon, and perfectly cooked pasta make all the difference in this dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef: This will prevent it from cooking evenly and becoming dry.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and ruin the dish.
- Use a flavorful cheese blend: A combination of cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese provides a rich and gooey texture and flavor.
- Don't skimp on the bacon: Crispy bacon adds a smoky, savory flavor to the pasta. You can also use pancetta or guanciale if you prefer.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
