Bacon Pasta Salad

Bacon Pasta Salad
(I don't eat bacon but it got the husband stamp of approval)

12 oz uncooked rotini pasta (1 box, I used whole wheat)
10 slices of bacon
1 c mayo
6 Tbs (2 pkgs) dry ranch dressing mix
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp garlic pepper
1/2 c milk (more if needed)
1 tomato, chopped
1 can sliced black olives
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use colby jack because it's my favorite)

Boil pasta, fry and chop bacon.
Mix mayo, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, and garlic pepper. Stir in milk. Add cooked pasta, fried bacon, olives, and cheese in bowl and toss to coat. Add more milk if it seems too dry. Chill at least 1 hour (tastes better the longer it sits)
