Traci's Ranchy Noodles

16-oz. pkg egg noodles
8 oz. frozen spinach
8 oz. frozen peas
1 lb. bacon; cooked
2 medium tomatoes, diced
2 medium cucumbers, peeled and diced
1 bottle Ranch salad dressing

Boil egg noodles until al dente. As soon as noodles are cooked, add
the spinach and peas to the water. Bring to a boil and cook until the
spinach thaws. Drain and run cool water over the noodles and
vegetables. Drain again and let sit until it is completely drained.
In a large bowl, crumble crisply-cooked and cooled bacon into small
pieces. Add the tomatoes and the cucumbers, then the noodle mixture.
Mix well. Stir in about 3/4 of the bottle of Ranch dressing until you
get desired consistency. Serve immediately or chill until ready to
use.

Editor's Note: Traci - I tried your recipe. It was a big hit in my
household. Folks, this is so good! ...Barb
