A hearty and flavorful pasta dish combining savory beef, crispy bacon, and melted cheese.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Save the bacon grease for added flavor in the next steps.
In the same skillet, cook the ground beef and sausage until browned, then add the onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened.
Break up the meat into small pieces for even cooking.
Add the garlic, seasoning salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Cook the garlic just until fragrant to avoid burning.
Stir in the tomato sauce, brown sugar, and mushrooms, then simmer for 30 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Cook the pasta in boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, then transfer to a baking dish.
Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with sauce.
Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden crust, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious pasta bake.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
