 Step by Step Instructions

 STEP 1: 

To make this dump and bake ground beef alfredo, I started by dropping some lean ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat.

I used a spatula to break apart the ground beef.

 STEP 2: 

I added some diced onions to the skillet.

I stirred the onions and ground beef together well and continued cooking until the ground beef was fully browned.

 STEP 3: 

Once the ground beef was browned, I added some chopped garlic to the skillet.

I stirred the garlic and ground beef together well and continued cooking for about 2 minutes.

Then I set the skillet aside.

 STEP 4: 

I sprayed a 9 x 13 inch baking dish well with cooking spray.

I poured some uncooked mini penne noodles into the bottom of the baking dish.

 STEP 5: 

I poured 2 jars of store bought alfredo sauce over the noodles.

I also poured a can of condensed cream of bacon soup into the dish.

 STEP 6: 

I spooned the cooked ground beef over the ingredients in the baking dish.

 STEP 7: 

I added some chicken broth, Italian seasoning and pepper to the dish.

I carefully stirred all of the ingredients together well.

 STEP 8: 

I covered the dish with aluminum foil and placed it in the oven.

I baked the dish for 50 minutes.

 STEP 9: 

After 50 minutes a removed the dish from the oven and lifted off the foil.

I stirred the pasta well.

 STEP 10: 

I sprinkled some shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.

 STEP 11: 

I placed some slices of store bought Texas toast garlic bread on top of the pasta.

I sprinkled more shredded cheese on top of the garlic bread.

Then I sprinkled some chopped bacon pieces on top of the cheese.

 STEP 12: 

I returned the dish to the oven, uncovered, and continued baking until the cheese was fully melted and just starting to brown a bit.

 STEP 13: 

I removed the dish from the oven and allowed the casserole to rest for a few minutes.

 Then the cheesy hamburger alfredo was ready to scoop and serve.

Each forkful is packed with savory beef, gooey cheese, smoky bacon, and a bold garlic-butter finish.

The creamy Alfredo sauce coats every bite of tender pasta, while the crispy, garlicky Texas toast adds the perfect crunch.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to cook the pasta before baking?

• Nope! That’s the beauty of this dump-and-bake recipe. The pasta cooks right in the sauce as it bakes, absorbing all the creamy Alfredo flavor.

What’s the best type of pasta to use?

• Short pasta like penne, rotini, or rigatoni works best because it holds the sauce well and cooks evenly in the oven.

How do I store leftovers?

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• The Texas toast may lose its crispiness, but you can reheat it in the oven to bring back some crunch.

What if I can’t find cream of bacon soup?

• Any flavour of condensed cream of soup would work for this recipe or you can just add an extra jar of alfredo sauce.
