  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef and Mushrooms

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add bacon and white portions of green onions to hot pan. Stir constantly until green onions start to soften, 1-2 minutes.

    Add ground beef, mushrooms, 1/4 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. 3

    Make Sauce and Add Pasta

    Stir cream cheese, demi-glace, 1/3 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. Taste, and add a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
