Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta
I needed a quick and easy dinner last week and decided on this bacon cheeseburger pasta. I had several recipes like this bookmarked and decided it was time to give it a try. I received samples of Lay's new Dip Creations from the Tastemaker program at Foodbuzz. I decided to use the Garden Onion seasoning mix in this dish, but I think the Country Ranch seasoning mix would work just as well.
This was really good. It was wonderfully cheesy and full of flavor! The Garden Onion seasoning mix worked great. This dish was hard to stop eating. The more we ate, the more we liked it. If you need a really quick weeknight dinner, this will fit the bill.
