How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While macaroni cooks, cook 6 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1/2 cup chopped green onions to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the beef, until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, and 1/2 cup diced tomatoes. Stir until well combined.
- Crumble the cooked bacon into the skillet. Add the cooked macaroni and 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
- Transfer to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
