Ingredients

1 1/2 cups uncooked cavatappi pasta
1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 teaspoon Montreal steak grill seasoning
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups sharp shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
1/4 cup ketchup
6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, if desired

Steps

1

Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
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.
4

Stir in pasta and 4 slices crumbled bacon; cook until sauce thickens and mixture is heated through, stirring occasionally.
5

Sprinkle with remaining 2 slices crumbled bacon and parsley.

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