WACKY MAC



Wacky Mac image

This is a fun, colorful dish that is hearty and delicious. Great served with a simple salad or bread and butter. I use the hot chili, but mild would work fine too.

WACKY MAC PASTA SALAD



Wacky Mac Pasta Salad image

This is an easy and pretty simple recipe. I kind of made it up as I went along. It is easily modified for your taste. Some times I add Rotel if I have it if not I don't. It's the base of the pasta salad and then I build from there. Enjoy
