MOM'S BEST MACARONI SALAD

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.

BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Open all cans of veggies. Drain the green beans and cut in half and put into a large bow. Then drain and rinse kidney beans and add to bowl. Drain the corn and add to the bowl too. Once all the canned veggies are in the bowl, and the celery, onion and peppers, set aside.
• In a microwave safe bowl combine vinegar, sugar, oil, pepper (add more or less per your taste) and salt. Mix and heat in microwave (30 secs at a time) to heat to disolve the sugar. Stir and place in freezer for about 5 to 8 mins, just to cool the liquid.
• Once the liquid mixture is cool, stir and pour over the veggies in large bowl. Cover and marinate at least 8 hours stirring as often as possible.
• COOK TIME is Marinate/Chill Time.
• This is GREAT but it must marinate at least 8 hours (0vernight is what I do).
• Serve w/a slotted spoon as there is a lot for juice.
