Made from boxed macaroni&cheese dinner. The cheese/macaroni mixture gives this a unique twist to typical macaroni salad. I've never made it from homemade cheese & macaroni, but I imagine it would work fine. Sometimes I use leftover macaroni & cheese dinner and adjust the rest of the ingredients accordingly. This is one of our quick and easy family favorites. Enjoy!! Ingredients:
1 (7 ounce) box macaroni & cheese dinner mix (we use kraft brand, but store brands are fine also) |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
1/4 cup milk |
1 cup frozen peas (thawed) |
3 hard-boiled eggs (chopped) |
1/2 cup celery (chopped) |
1/3 cup onion (chopped) |
2 green onions (chopped) |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon salt and pepper (to taste) |
1 teaspoon dried dill (you can substitute with your favorite cold salad seasoning.) |
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni & cheese dinner per box directions; cool. (If you're using leftover macaroni, adjust the remaining ingredients accordingly).
2. Add chopped eggs, celery, onion, green onion to cooled macaroni & cheese.
3. Stir in mayonnaise and seasonings.
4. Gently stir in thawed peas and season to taste.
5. As with all salads, season to taste.
