MACARONI SALAD by Ida Mae
12 oz. package of small shell macaroni
diced cheese
1 ½ c. diced celery
diced, fried bacon
1 can of peas, drained
piece of green pepper, diced
salt & pepper to taste
thinned Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and cool.
Add remaining ingredients. Refrigerate a few hours to blend flavors.
Note: Taste salad after a few hours. May need to salt, pepper, add more mayonnaise, etc.
Variations: I have altered this recipe a variety of ways, depending on what I have in the house.
Ham instead of bacon
½ - ¾ bag of frozen peas instead of can of peas (pour on hot macaroni in colander---the macaroni cools, the peas thaw). Then add remaining ingredients.
Add mustard, honey mustard, parsley flakes, dried onion, etc. to mayonnaise mixture.
