Mom’s Best Macaroni Salad

Directions

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

Methods :

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.
