Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 12 ounces Elbow macaroni pasta
• 2 cups Alfredo sauce
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Pickle slices (optional)
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the pasta cooks, dice the yellow onion.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the ground beef over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are softened, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir the Alfredo sauce into the skillet with the cooked beef mixture. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, beef-Alfredo mixture, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Mix well.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese and 0.5 cups of mozzarella cheese over the top.

Step 9

In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix it with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.

Step 11

If desired, garnish with pickle slices on top before serving for that signature cheeseburger touch.

Step 12

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
