Bacon and Pea salad

This one is good for potlucks, although I also serve it to my family regularly.


Bacon and Pea Salad:

INGREDIENTS:
6 slices bacon
1 (16 ounce) package frozen green peas
1/3 cup chopped green onions (**I leave these out because the kids don't like them)
1/2 cup Ranch dressing
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 small can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (**I don't always do this and some people don't like them in there... I think it tastes fine with or without)


Place bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.

Rinse the peas under cold running water to thaw.

In a bowl, toss together bacon, peas, onion, Ranch dressing, and Cheddar cheese.
