I was asked to post recipes for items that I’m stockpiling. This is really a simple recipe and some of you are laughing at me for taking the time to type it up. Hey, it’s a way to use up the pile of FREE Wacky Mac that I know most of you have.
Wacky Mac Pasta-free
~1/2 Bottle Italian Dressing-$0.20
Sliced Cucumber-free
Diced Fresh Tomato-free
Pepperoni-$1
Chunks of Pepper Jack cheese (optional)-$0.25
Cook pasta according to package directions. Mix in remaining ingredients. Serve cold.
You can pretty much choose what you want to throw in here. The cucumber and tomato were from the garden, so I marked them as free. If you were to eliminate the pepperoni then you’d have a side dish for under $0.50 and it would last a few meals.
Do you have any other recipe ideas for wacky mac?
*See comment-try Olive oil and Balsamic vinegar instead of Italian dressing
Thats so funny, we just a bag of our wacky mac yesterday for a bbq! Our pasta salad had tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and basil in it.
I'm glad you left a comment. I was wracking my brain trying to remember what it was we mixed the olive oil with last time. Not sur why it was so hard for me to remember. I'd never thought of the basil.
Thanks for the tip. I'll use it when updating Code Coupon Discount
