Bacon Cheeseburger Rotini

I'll tell you what...lately my head has been spinning with ideas at such warp speed that an easy meal for dinner is not only screaming my name, but I'm screaming it's name as well! Please easy dinner (screaming) HELP!!!

Drama aside, I found an easy dinner to make that not only sounded yummy, but contains ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen...thank you *ahem*!

Here it is for all those Moms out there that are like me...full of ideas with little of no time to accomplish them all, a recipe I found on the back of a Market Pantry rotini box.
