Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In a large skillet, over medium high heat, begin to brown and crumble ground beef. Season with garlic powder, seasoned salt and pepper.
When beef is halfway done cooking, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Continue to stir and cook until veggies are slightly softened. Remove from heat once veggies are tender.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Once pasta is al dente, or slightly underdone, drain water. Pour cooked pasta in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread out evenly, then top pasta with ground beef mixture. Toss gently to combine.
Pour Alfredo sauce all over the top. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Cover pan with foil. Bake for 25 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted. Serve warm and enjoy!
Garlic Alfredo Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, stir the butter, cream cheese and heavy whipping cream until melted. Stir in garlic powder and Parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until all combined.
Bring Alfredo mixture to a slight boil; then immediately reduce heat to low. Continue to stir until mixture thickens; about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with pepper.
