Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked cavatappi pasta
  • 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
  • Chopped fresh parsley leaves, if desired

  • 2
    Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain.
  • 3
    Reduce heat to medium. Stir grill seasoning, milk, cheese and ketchup into beef; continue stirring until cheese is melted and mixture is well blended.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you don’t have Montreal steak grill seasoning, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • tip 2
    Change up the pasta to whatever you have on hand. Rotini, rotelle, wagon wheel or penne make good options.
