My mom got a similar recipe from a grocer in our home town store; they made it in the back and sold it. It is a favorite of mine that makes me think of mom. Now I am doing it by memory, so you may have to adjust some things. Also, my mom did not use dash way back when, I don't think it was around, but she used it later. This was perfect for my father, who couldn't eat onions or peppers. Ingredients:
12 ounces spam (my husband is a vegetarian so i use morningstar veggie hot dogs or loma linda lunch meat) |
1 1/2 cups ham, can be used instead |
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks |
1 cup celery |
3 cups macaroni, dry |
8 ounces colby-monterey jack cheese |
1 (32 ounce) jar mayonnaise |
1/2 teaspoon brand seasoning |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon celery seasoning |
1 -2 teaspoon parsley, dry |
Directions:
1. Boil the macaroni until tender, drain and cool.
2. Chop up spam or what ever meat you are using.
3. Chop celery as well.
4. Add to macaroni.
5. Drain the pineapple juice into a bowl to make the dressing.
6. Put the pineapple in with the macaroni.
7. Chop the cheese into half inch cubes. (I have used grated before, but I like the chunks).
8. Take the spices and add them to the juice.
9. Add about 3/4 of the jar of mayo into the juice and blend it together.
10. Stir it into the macaroni mixture.
11. Best if you chill it a few hours, then it may need more mayo as it soaks it up. It is really good.
