Step 1: Cook the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Brown the ground beef
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3: Add seasonings
Sprinkle in onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and coat the beef with flavor.

Step 4: Stir in Alfredo sauce
Reduce the heat to low. Add the Alfredo sauce to the cooked beef, stirring until everything is well blended. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to heat through.

Step 5: Combine with pasta
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Stir in cheddar cheese and mozzarella (if using), mixing until melted and creamy.

Step 6: Add toppings
Top with crumbled bacon and diced pickles. For extra cheeseburger vibes, add fresh tomatoes or shredded lettuce right before serving.

Step 7: Serve hot
Scoop into bowls and serve warm. It’s cheesy, meaty, and full of flavor—classic comfort food with a twist.
