Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Boil a large pot of salted water, add pasta, and cook according to package instructions, about 10–12 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned. Transfer beef to a bowl.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 3–4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Pour in heavy cream, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
- Whisk in cheddar and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Fold in the cooked pasta, ground beef, and crispy bacon, mixing over low heat for 2–3 minutes until combined.
- Serve hot, garnished with parsley and optional jalapeños.
