Must-Try BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Mac ‘n’ Cheese Casserole: Comfort Food with a Twist

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, drain, and set aside.

Cook the Bacon and Ground Beef:
In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside. In the same skillet with the bacon grease, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent.

Make the Cheese Sauce:
In a large bowl, combine the evaporated milk, shredded cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Stir until everything is well mixed and the cheese is starting to melt.

Combine the Ingredients:
Add the cooked macaroni and beef mixture to the cheese sauce, stirring to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Assemble the Casserole:
Transfer the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crispy bacon and crushed potato chips on top for extra crunch and flavor.

Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden.

Serve & Enjoy:
Serve hot and enjoy this creative twist on classic comfort food—combining the smoky BBQ flavor with the cheeseburger-inspired richness.
