Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
8 oz dry pasta
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy.
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 strips bacon
Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
1 medium onion
4 garlic cloves
Next, add the ground beef. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked.
1 pound lean ground beef
Mix in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and pickled jalapeños and continue to cook for another minute.
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
¼ cup pickled jalapeños
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
1 ½ cup beef broth
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it in the sauce. Sprinkle in half of the cheddar and all the mozzarella cheese, stirring until everything is melted and creamy.
1 cup cheddar cheese
½ cup mozzarella cheese
If you’re not using an oven-proof pan, transfer the pasta mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with the remaining cheddar then bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes, until it’s bubbly and golden.
Take it out of the oven and sprinkle the gherkins over the top, then serve hot.
¼ cup gherkins
