Ingredients

  • 1 lb. radiatori or rotini pasta
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb. bacon
  • ½ lb ground beef
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ ts. onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce I use Sweet Baby Ray's
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp chili sauce
  • 1 16 oz frozen sweet corn, thawed
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes halved
  • 1 ½ cups cubed sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup diced green onions

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Strain and rinse with cold water. Drizzle with the 1 Tbsp olive oil and set aside.
  • Cook bacon until crispy. Chop into pieces. (I like to cook mine in the oven) Drain on paper towels.
  • In a skillet, cook ground beef until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  • Season beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and chili sauce and whisk until smooth.
  • Add in the cooked pasta, bacon, ground beef, corn, grape tomatoes, cubed cheddar cheese, and diced green onions and toss until fully combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serves 10-12.
