MOM'S BEST MACARONI SALAD

Mom's Best Macaroni Salad image

This is, by far, the best macaroni salad I've ever put into my mouth. It has a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness, and it is so pretty with all of the multi-colored veggies. Be ready for this to disappear before you put it on the table! I have six children, and it is all I can do to keep them from nibbling on it while I'm mixing it up!

Ingredients

16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
4 carrots, shredded
1 large red onion, chopped
½ green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
½ red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup chopped celery
2 cups mayonnaise
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup white sugar
½ cup white vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water, and drain.
In a large bowl, stir together the carrots, red onion, green pepper, red pepper and celery. Mix in the mayonnaise, condensed milk, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add the macaroni, toss gently, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. I usually make this a day ahead of time, and stir it occasionally to blend the flavors. The macaroni will absorb some of the liquid.

This was my Mom's recipe. She never wrote anything down, so the amounts on the seasonings are estimates and 'to taste.' She always said the key ingredient was 'love.'

MOM'S MACARONI SALAD

Mom's Macaroni Salad image

This is a recipe that my mom perfected years ago. I made her write it down so that I could duplicate it. She gives me directions like mayo 1/2" above label of quart jar. Well Best Foods has changed their jars from quarts 32 oz. to a 30 oz. jar, the chumps. So I had to measure everything out, wanted to do it anyways so I could post it here for safe keeping. Have taken this to many BBQ's and I always come home with an empty bowl. The sauce should be very salty tasting, if not add more season salt. If you want more color add more paprika. You can decorate the top with a sliced hardboiled egg, parsley and paprika if you want a nice presentation. This needs to sit for a minimum of 4 hours for the flavors to blend. I just noticed that Beau Monde Seasoning is not showing up, it's the the missing ingredient for the tablespoon. Edited 7/13/09 to reviewer that does not take zmails. YES THE DOZEN EGGS IS CORRECT.
