Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the cellentani pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, barbecue sauce, spicy brown mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chili sauce. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped smoky bacon over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Transfer to paper towels, leaving some drippings in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the green onions and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Stir in the spices.
- In a separate dry skillet, char the corn kernels over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned. Set aside.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the cooled pasta, bacon, beef mixture, charred corn, halved tomatoes, and cheddar cheese. Toss gently to mix.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss until well coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Add bacon and tomatoes just before serving.
