Amish Macaroni Salad

Who doesn't love a good old fashioned creamy pasta salad with barbecue?  To me, it's not summer without a healthy dose of the mayonnaise covered macaroni and I found a great recipe at All Recipes. With a couple of alterations I made, it's wonderful and the perfect summer time barbecue side dish.

Amish Macaroni Recipe



1 box elbow macaroni (1lb), cooked and drained
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 stalks of celery, chopped
7 eggs, hard boiled and chopped
2 heaping tbsp dill pickle relish
2 cups mayonnaise
3 tbsp yellow mustard
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp celery seed
cheese cubes

In a very large bowl (this feeds an army and is perfect to take to a potluck) stir together your cooked macaroni, onion, bell pepper, celery, and eggs.  In a medium sized bowl whisk together relish, mayo, mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt and celery seed.  Pour the sauce over the pasta/veggie mix a little at a time, stirring in between pours until it is all finally mixed together.  Add the cheese cubes and mix one more time before covering and refrigerating.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
