How to Make Ground Beef And Mushroom Carbonara

  1. Cook 1 pound spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. Return spaghetti to the pot and cover to keep warm.
  3. Cook 4 slices bacon over medium-high heat for 8-9 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon once cooled.
  4. In the same skillet, brown 1 pound ground beef over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until beef is browned and mushrooms are softened.
  5. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
  6. Pour 1 cup heavy whipping cream over the cooked spaghetti in the pot.
  7. Cook over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until heated through.
  8. Add the beef mixture, crumbled bacon, and 3 large pasteurized eggs (lightly beaten) to the spaghetti mixture.
  9. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing constantly, until the spaghetti is well coated and the eggs are cooked through but still creamy. (Do not overcook!)
  10. Stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately.
