Mary G· last year

Noodles seemed to soak up a lot of the “sauce” after sitting in the fridge overnight, so will consider doing only 3 cups of uncooked noodles next time. But good flavor!

Makes leftovers

My go-to recipe for macaroni salad! I leave out the green peppers and pimentos and add chopped hard-boiled eggs.

Makes a HUGE bowl! This is great for taking to a gathering or potluck of some kind.
