Comfort Food Made Quick – Bacon Cheese Beef Pasta #CampbellsSauces #Client

I made a meal with Campbell’s® Sauces as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #CampbellsSauces

With the holiday season here and my calendar packed to the brim, sometimes it really is tempting to dial in dinner, especially when I often find myself coming home later than planned.  I keep a few ready made helpers in the pantry for those nights when I don’t want the Junior SousPug to think that the takeout guy is slowly becoming a part of the family.  One of my new favorite discoveries are these ready-made sauces from Campbell’s®.  I love that with a few fresh ingredients, I can have a delicious and easy dinner on the table in no time.

I think so many people have had a cheeseburger-esque macaroni dish growing up.  When I saw this Campbell’s Skillet Sauce for Bacon Cheddar Beef Pasta, I immediately remembered that childhood favorite and, after a very stressful week from Hades, I wanted a bit of cheesy comfort. However, to add my own stiletto spin on it, I figured I’d improvise a bit.  I used my favorite cavatappi pasta, some sautéed shallot, a pinch of red pepper flakes and a bit more cheese and this Bacon Cheddar Beef Pasta was a dinnertime hit!  Between the smokiness from the bacon, the creaminess from the cheese and a bit of heat from the red pepper flakes, the flavors were on point.  Added bonus – you can use either beef or turkey – Campbell’s gives you room to improvise.

So – when you have a day that needs a bit of quick comfort, why not give these Skillet Sauces a spin.

On to the recipe:
