6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 box (16 oz.) dried spiral pasta 
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Cut chicken into bite-sized chunks.  Cook chicken chunks in the bacon drippings.  Add garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare pasta according to package directions.  Spray a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Drain pasta, return to pot.  Add chicken, both cans of cream of chicken soup, 1 c. cheese.  Stir to mix well.  Pour into prepared baking dish.  Top with crumbled bacon.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, just until cheese is melted and beginning to brown on top.
