48 ounces tri color pasta
4 bags of actual bacon diced into bits
12 Roma tomatoes
6 cups broccoli chopped
15 ounces sliced olives
6 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 cups mayonnaise
Two tablespoons ranch seasoning
Im out ranch seasoning so I just used some ranch dressing i substituted one of cup ranch and used only two cups mayonnaise.
Gonna dice up pepperoni and add capicola ham diced after I get to store this morning. If the deli doesnt have capicola I substitute a deli meat called Berks hoagie meat its spicy ham.

(6,810 posts)May I suggest some sour cream substituted for some of the mayo? It will give it more of the ranch tang. And what olives? Black?

(13,689 posts)Do you think after pasta soaks up mayo and ranch it be ok to add sour cream definitely measure by eye to keep it creamy.
Yes I used black olives as well was thinking of tossing in some frozen corn that i cooked yesterday yet didnt.
