Cook Macaroni according to package directions. 5 minutes into the boiling process, add frozen peas and carrots. Continue boiling until macaroni is done. Drain. Rinse macaroni and veggies with cold water a few times. Meanwhile in a large bowl, mix onion, bacon, ranch seasoning, Miracle whip and mayonnaise until well blended. Add the macaroni peas & carrots and cheese. Refrigerate before serving.  Enjoy!


This is so good and quick and easy! I love recipes that I need to make quickly to a friends house and the ingredients that I most likely have on hand anyway. I even use Baco's (precooked bacon salad topping) in replace of cooking bacon to make it even faster.  It also makes a lot for leftovers to take to lunch for work! Yum!
