Equipment
- Pot
- Large Skillet
- Smoker (optional)
- Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Hamburger Ground, browned
- 1 Medium Onion Chopped
- 1 Box Pasta Elbow
- 2 Cups Cheese Shredded
- 1 Cup Worchestire
- 1/2 Cup Yellow mustard
- 1 Cup Ketchup
- 1/2 Cup Dill relish
- 1 Package Bacon Cooked and chopped
Instructions
- Brown hamburger in a pan, adding chopped onions (if you like onions). Season with favorite burger seasoning
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook pasta.
- Cook bacon, or buy precooked bacon. We smoked our bacon on low, super smoke setting on our Traeger for 2 hours at 180â° for extra flavor.
- *optional* once hamburger is full cooked, smoke for 30 minutes. We used cast iron to brown so we just placed the cast in the Traeger while the bacon finished smoking.
- Once noodles are cooked, drain, and remove from pot. Return pot to stove.
- Combine worchestire, mustard, ketchup, and dill relish to make a sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine.
- Add shredded cheese to your sauce, we use shredded jack cheddar or Fiesta blend, but you can use whatever kind you like. Melt cheese all the way and stir until combined and creamy.
- Add cooked pasta into cheesy base.
- Remove ground hamburger from smoker (if applicable) and add into cheesy pasta.
- Cut bacon into bite size pieces and mix into hamburger pasta. I use a scissors for this step and just cut the pieces into the pot.
- *optional* place mixture back on smoker low heat for additional smoke flavor. We smoked ours for another hour at 180â°
- Serve!
