  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 slices green peppers, chopped
  • mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
  • celery seed
  • sweet pickles, chopped or sweet relish
  • salt

Method

  • Boil macaroni according to package directions for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.
  • In strainer, drain macaroni and run cold water over macaroni to cool.
  • When macaroni is cool, put in large bowl and add all chopped ingredients.
  • Add mayonnaise gradually, enough to make it easy to stir.
  • Add celery seed, salt and pepper to taste.
  • If mixture seems "dry", add a little bit of sweet pickle juice from the jar.
  • Refrigerate before serving; always check for moisture- you may have to add more pickle juice and mayonnaise.
  • Salt, pepper, and celery seed can be added if needed.
  • Best if made the night before serving, so you can adjust for taste and moisture.
  • Like all good recipes, you get to taste, and taste again!
