Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet {One-Pot}

I love these no-boil, one-pot dishes. They are delicious and make for an easy clean up since they are all made in just one dish. This Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet is crazy good! How could it not be? Pasta, cheese, hamburger and bacon? I couldn’t stop eating this! It is cheesy, creamy and has a little kick from a can of Rotel tomatoes. If you are sensitive to heat, make sure you use a can of Mild Rotel.

This dish is super easy to make. It only took about 30 minutes from start to finish. I love quick and tasty meals, especially during the week! This makes a lot. Fortunately, it is great reheated for lunch or dinner the next day.
