Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

8 slices bacon, chopped

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 cup pickles, sliced

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup milk

3 cups cooked macaroni

1/4 cup breadcrumbs (for topping)

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and let it drain on paper towels. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

        Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

          Mix in Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, the beef mixture, crispy bacon, sliced pickles, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.

            Add the Cheese: Fold in half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese into the mixture, reserving the remaining cheese for topping.

              Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the casserole mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

                Top with Cheese and Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Then, add the breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.

                    Garnish and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

                      Enjoy your hearty bacon cheeseburger casserole, perfect for a cozy dinner or a gathering with family and friends!
