Ingredients
- 8 ounces cavatappi pasta boiled and drained
- 1 pound lean ground beef browned and drained
- 1 cup red onion thinly sliced
- ¾ cup dill pickles diced
- 1 cup green leaf lettuce chopped
- 10 ounces cherry tomatoes sliced in half
- 8 ounces mild cheddar cheese cubed
- 2 cups Thousand Island dressing
- sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl add your cooked and drained pasta.
- Add the cooked ground beef, onion, pickles, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cheese and dressing. Toss to combine.
- Garnish with sesame seeds. Serve!
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This is fabulous to make ahead. I would wait to add the lettuce until right before serving.
- You can use any onion you like.
- I like to use green leaf lettuce because it holds up better, but you can use any lettuce you like.
- You can use any short pasta you prefer.
- You can use any cheese you like. Colby would be perfect.
