Cook the pasta in salted water according to package directions.

Remove the bacon from the pan, then set aside. Drain off most of the fat from the bacon, leaving approximately 2 teaspoons in the pan.

Add the ground beef to the pan, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula for 4 to 5 minutes until browned. Add the onion, then cook for an additional 4 minutes.

Pour the tomato sauce, ketchup, and mustard into the pan. Stir to coat the beef with the sauce.

Drain the pasta, then add it to the pan with the beef mixture.

Add the cheddar cheese to the pan with the pasta, then stir until everything is combined and the cheese is melted.

Sprinkle with reserved bacon, pickles and parsley, and enjoy!
