Cooking Guidelines
To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:
- Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
- Seafood 145° F |
- Chicken 165° F |
- Ground Beef 160° F |
- Ground Turkey 165° F |
- Ground Pork 160° F
-
1 Prepare the Ingredients
Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.
-
2 Cook the Beef and Mushrooms
Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add white portions of green onions to hot pan. Stir constantly until beginning to soften, 1-2 minutes. Add ground beef, mushrooms, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir often, breaking up meat, until mushrooms are softened, no pink remains on ground beef, and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-6 minutes. Drain excess oil from pan, if desired.
-
3 Make Sauce and Add Pasta
Stir cream cheese, demi-glace, ⅓ cup water, and garlic salt into hot pan. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, stir constantly until combined and cream cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes. Stir in pasta and Swiss cheese until creamy. If too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Remove from burner. Stir in bacon. Taste, and add a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
