Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 (16-ounce) box elbow pasta
3 ounces cream cheese, (softened)
3/4 cup mayonnaise, (divided)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (4-ounce) can diced jalapenos, (drained (you could use pickled jalapenos or fresh jalapenos instead))
3 green onions, (sliced)
8 slices bacon, (cooked and crumbled)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (I use a combo of cheddar and Pepper Jack)

Steps:

Cook pasta to al dente in salted water. Drain well.
While pasta is cooking, stir together cream cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until mostly smooth. (It's ok if cream cheese isn't fully blended in.)
Once pasta is drained, let it cool a few minutes, and then add it to mayonnaise mixture. It should still be very warm and the heat will help smooth out the cream cheese. Stir well.
Mix in jalapenos, green onions. bacon, and shredded cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
