Instructions
Cook pasta:
Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook bacon:
In a skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, but keep the bacon grease in the skillet.

Season beef:
Add the garlic powder and onion powder to the beef and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
