Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni

The delicious flavours of a cheeseburger with bacon wrapped up in a macaroni bake, with the pasta cooking in the meat sauce. If you have a pan that can go on the cooktop and in the oven this is also a one pot dish (one of my favourites – anything for less dishes).

Serve it with a green salad for a complete meal and plenty of vegetables could be added to the meat sauce for better nutritional value.
