Ingredients

1.5 lb ground beef (The source gives a range of 1–2 lb.)
0.75 lb bacon (The source gives a range of 1/2–1 lb; use pork, beef, or turkey bacon per the transcript. Reserve some cooked bacon for garnish.)
onion (Quantity not specified; add after cooking the ground beef.)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
1.25 tbsp garlic powder (The source gives a range of 1–1 1/2 tbsp.)
1.25 tbsp onion powder (The source gives a range of 1–1 1/2 tbsp.)
6 oz tomato paste (Tomato sauce is mentioned as an alternative in the transcript; amount not specified.)
5 cup beef broth (The source gives a range of 4–6 cups; additional broth may be used to adjust the liquid after simmering.)
0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce (The transcript describes it as a splash; the description provides the measured amount.)
11 oz macaroni noodles (The source gives a range of 10–12 oz; another preferred pasta may be used.)
12 oz evaporated milk (Additional evaporated milk may be used to adjust the liquid after simmering.)
1 cup heavy cream (Additional cream may be used to adjust the liquid after simmering.)
8 oz shredded Colby Jack cheese (Add on top and let it melt.)
parsley (For garnish; quantity not specified.)

Steps

1
Cook the bacon in a large pot until done. Set it aside, reserving some for the garnish.
2
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook for a couple of minutes. Drain off some of the grease.
3
Add the onion and continue cooking until the meat is fully cooked.
4
Season the meat with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. The transcript also mentions using a favorite all-purpose seasoning instead.
5
Add the tomato paste and mix it through the meat.
6
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze it.
7
Add the macaroni and evaporated milk. Cover the pot and simmer until the pasta is cooked, about 15–20 minutes total after adding the pasta.
8
After about 10 minutes of simmering, stir the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning, and add more beef broth, evaporated milk, or heavy cream if needed.
9
Stir in the cooked bacon and heavy cream.
10
Scatter the shredded Colby Jack over the top and let it melt.
11
Garnish with the reserved bacon and parsley, then serve. Bread or Texas toast is suggested on the side.

Notes

The source does not specify the onion quantity or give an exact serving yield. Ingredient ranges are represented by their midpoints; use the desired amount within each stated range. The transcript offers tomato sauce as an alternative to tomato paste and beef, pork, or turkey bacon options. The author notes adjusting the liquid and seasoning after about 10 minutes of simmering.
