Recipe View 0 mins Remove the lid and stir well to combine the pasta and sauce. Smooth out the mixture and sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining bacon. Cover and let the cheese melt, about 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, use thick-cut bacon.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired level of spice.
If you don't have fire-roasted tomatoes, regular diced tomatoes will work, but the fire-roasted ones add a unique smoky depth.
Feel free to substitute with your favorite type of shredded cheese.
For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use a plant-based ground beef substitute.
If the mixture seems dry while cooking, add a splash more beef broth.
This dish is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld!
