Cooking Steps
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add your favorite pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes until al dente. Drain and keep warm.
- In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and drain excess grease, leaving drippings in the skillet.
- Increase heat and add lean ground beef to the skillet with drippings. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Transfer to the plate with bacon.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onion is translucent.
- Lower heat and stir in heavy cream, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Whisk in cheddar and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Toss cooked pasta, browned beef, and crispy bacon into the skillet. Mix gently to coat pasta in the sauce and warm through.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and optional jalapeños.
