Instructions:
Prepare the Pasta:
Cook your chosen pasta in boiling salted water as per the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and keep aside.
Crisp the Bacon:
In a substantial skillet, crisp the chopped bacon until golden. Remove and set aside, reserving the bacon fat in the skillet.
Brown the Ground Beef:
Using the same skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain any surplus fat as necessary.
Sauté Onions and Garlic:
Incorporate onions and garlic with the beef in the skillet, sautéing until tender and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes.
Craft the Sauce:
Add beef broth, heavy cream, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Mix thoroughly and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens a bit.
Incorporate Cheese:
Blend in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine All Components:
Stir in the previously cooked pasta and crispy bacon, ensuring the pasta is well-coated in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Serve with Garnishments:
Dish out hot, adorned with chopped pickles and fresh parsley if using.
