Grandma Weaver's Macaroni Salad

Ingredients:

1 lb. dry macaroni, cooked and drained, per package directions

1 1/2 cup sugar (this is very sweet - decrease sugar to meet your family's taste preference)

2 Tbsp. vinegar

1 onion, chopped

1 cup celery, finely chopped 

3 hard boiled eggs

1 cup mayo

2 Tbsp. mustard

1 tsp. salt

Cook macaroni as instructed on package. Drain and cool. Add remaining ingredients and stir well.

Refrigerate. 

Macaroni salad is a unique "salad". It is definitely not in the healthy salad category...but this dish often accompanied that amazing Chicken BBQ that I wrote about a few days ago. This is not standard food on my table - but it is standard food at picnics and Chicken BBQ fundraiser meals locally!

My Grandma Weaver taught me how to make this in her kitchen. When I raised money to go on a mission trip to Kenya at age 19, we made many batches of this salad and sold meals paired with my Uncle Warren's Chicken BBQ. Good memories and an awesome fundraiser.
