This recipe came about by accident, but it was a happy accident. I intended to make potato soup for dinner, but the bag of potatoes that I thought was mostly full was only about half way full. I knew I needed to add something to the potatoes or we wouldn’t have enough soup.
Adding corn, cheese and bacon seemed like a good solution. We loved the result!
I didn’t take an ingredient photo, but these are all very common ingredients. The homemade soup is quick to make and perfect for a winter (or cool, spring) day.
I love pasta for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that pasta makes a quick meal. And it’s extremely versatile. For this dish, I used angel hair. It cooks in just a couple of minutes.
Some friends gave us a bunch of tomatoes from their garden. Now that’s a great gift! But they needed to be used soon. Pairing them with pasta made perfect sense.
I also had a pound of bacon in the fridge, some white wine and fresh basil in the garden. My original thought was to make this pasta dish. It also has bacon, tomatoes and basil, but it requires more Parmesan cheese than I had on hand.
So I decided to do a lighter sauce, with no half & half and no Parmesan. We had just enough cheese to garnish, so it worked out great.
And this is a quick meal. Especially if you already have the bacon cooked. I needed to cook mine, but I still had it made in about 20 minutes.
I usually cook the bacon in the oven. Not only is it easier and less messy, it allows me to do other things while it cooks versus stand at the skillet and get popped with hot grease.

The combo of chicken, bacon and ranch is one of my favorites. In my opinion, any dish with the three of them is bound to be good. One morning when I was pressed for time and trying to think of something to throw in the slow cooker for dinner, I realized I had all three on hand – and these sandwiches were born!
These are a great go-to dinner, especially in warm weather. Despite being a hot sandwich, the cool ranch slaw makes these feel light and refreshing. I love to pair these with fries and some veggies with dip.
