Crack Pasta Salad
We love the "crack" flavors of bacon, ranch, and cheddar cheese and ever since I made this for a family cookout, it's now the pasta salad they always request for me to bring. It really is delicious and I've added a few extra ingredients over the years, too. It's perfect for potlucks and cookouts because it can feed an army but it's easy for me to cut the recipe in half when there's just a few of us here.
