Pasta Salad

I worked at Brazos Blue Ribbon Bakery in College Station, Texas back in 1997. This is where I got this recipe (although I never actually "saw" a recipe; I just used the same ingredients).

• Cook, drain, and cool 1 box pasta shells (rigatoni is also good to use and was used at the BBRB rather than shells)
• 1 bell pepper, diced (pretty small)
• 3-4 stalks celery, diced (pretty small)
• 1 bag bacon bits or pieces (not Bacos!)
  
• 1/2 - 1 bottle ranch dressing
• 1 - 2 cups cheese

After pasta cools, add pepper, celery, bacon, ranch, and cheese.
Mix.

This pasta salad is better if you make it the day before serving, then add a little more ranch then.
