AUNT TONY'S MACARONI SALAD



Aunt Tony's Macaroni Salad image

Nothing screams 4th of July more than fireworks and macaroni salad! Growing up in a large extended family, it was common to expect certain things when coming together. On the table one would always find: 1) fresh veggies like granddad's peas or beans, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers from his garden 2) a big bowl of home canned peaches, pears or apricots and 3) an obscenely huge bowl of Aunt Tony's Macaroni Salad. The celery seed is the ingredient that pushes this recipe over the top wow! This creamy, easy to make salad is the best! I am sure your family will love it just as much as ours.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound(s) macaroni, elbow
1 cup(s) mayonnaise
4 small hard boiled eggs
1 tablespoon(s) celery seed (more if you like)
1 4 oz jar(s) diced pimentos
1 tablespoon(s) cream (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
dash(es) paprika (optional)

Steps:

  • Hard boil peel and dice eggs.
  • Boil 1/2 lb. elbow macaroni 8 to 10 minutes (1/2 lb. will feed 6-8). (Note: a full 1 lb. box will make enough for 16-20 people)
  • Drain macaroni in a colander and rinse under cold water. Allow the macaroni to cool completely before adding the other ingredients. I don't know why but my cousin Judy said this makes a big difference so I did it.
  • Add chopped eggs, pimentos, celery seed and mayo. Mix together. It should be creamy. Add a tablespoon of cream at a time if needed to make moist to your taste.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Optional: Pour into a pretty dish and top with a light shake of paprika to give color.

AUNT WOOFIE'S MEAT-N-RICE CASSEROLE



Aunt Woofie's Meat-N-Rice Casserole image

Recipe originally posted May 27. 2003. This has been well liked by anyone I have made it for. Even picky eaters have liked it. Kids have loved it too. You can use ground beef, ground turkey, ground chicken, Italian sausage or pork sausage. The sour cream and mayonnaise add a little bit of tartness and flavor to it. It is really good served with corn. It is really good the next day as leftovers or made the night before and refrigerated (before baking). It can easily be reheated in a microwave oven. You can also make it without baking it. Just put the cheese over the rice-meat mixture and heat in the skillet until it is hot and bubbly and cheese has melted. Edited July 30, 2009 I am allergic to pepper so I don't add it to my recipes. Use salt and pepper according to personal taste.
