Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta captures the essence and flavor of a good burger and infuses it via the Instant Pot into soft filling pasta. You will be able to smell the notes of bacon and feel the moist tender meat as the pasta simply melts as you chew your hunger away. This dish will be a hit with those that have a tendency to request meat featured meals or love a good grilled burger. My family plowed though this dish like they were in some sort of race to get the last helping. Make extra and have it for later for a super quick and easy reheat food prep item.
This keeps well when refrigerated and is perfect to have on hand if you have a busy week staring at you. Comfort from a bacon cheeseburger can be yours if you watch the short video and follow the simple instructions below as you plan your next foodlicious adventure. If you live somewhere you can not grill but have been longing for the taste of a good ole burger this recipe is for you.
