Bacon Cheeseburger Mac

• 2 cups elbow macaroni
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups ketchup
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup bacon bits

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain and return pasta to the pot.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Season browned beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; add ketchup and stir. Bring mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the liquid thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes; pour over the pasta in the pot and stir.
4. Stir Cheddar cheese into the pasta mixture until melted; add bacon bits and stir.
