Step 1

Sauté onion in a skillet until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Then add minced garlic and stir for a minute until fragrant. Next, add ground beef and stir until cooked, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Step 3

Add canned tomato, green onion, dry pasta, light cream, powdered mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, and beef broth. Simmer, covered with a lid for 8 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Note: stir regularly so the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the skillet. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and mix.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a large oven-safe dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Finally, bake for 10-15 minutes for the cheese to melt.

Step 6

Serve warm with crispy bacon bites on top.
