1️⃣ Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Drain the pasta and set it aside.

2️⃣ Prepare the Beef Mixture:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

3️⃣ Make the Cheese Sauce:

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat.

Gradually whisk in the cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper if needed.

4️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.

5️⃣ Combine Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, beef mixture, ketchup, mustard, and cheese sauce. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

6️⃣ Assemble and Bake:

Transfer the pasta mixture into the greased baking dish.

Sprinkle additional cheese, turkey bacon bits, or chopped pickles on top if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

7️⃣ Serve:

Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy, savory delight!
