Tex-Mex Pasta Salad – A Flavorful and Fun Twist on Traditional Pasta Salad!

2️⃣ Prepare the Salad Base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, cooked ground beef, taco seasoning, corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, scallions, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir these ingredients together to evenly distribute the flavors.

3️⃣ Combine with Pasta:
Once the pasta has cooled, add it to the mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Stir everything together until well mixed, making sure the pasta is coated with the flavorful mixture.

4️⃣ Make the Dressing:
In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and creamy.

5️⃣ Dress the Salad:
Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture, and toss everything together to make sure it’s evenly coated in the creamy, tangy dressing.

6️⃣ Chill and Serve:
Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Chilling the salad gives it time for the flavors to develop and makes it extra refreshing.

This Tex-Mex Pasta Salad is perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or even a casual weeknight dinner. The combination of savory bacon, beef, beans, and fresh veggies, all coated in a creamy dressing, makes this dish a crowd-pleaser.
