MEAL-IN-ONE MACARONI SALAD

Meal-In-One Macaroni Salad image

Great for those hot summer nights when it's too hot to cook, this is a very versatile recipe. We like it served with crisp breadsticks. Best if made a day or two before serving but can be served after 3 hours of chilling. Amount of salt to use will depend on type of meat used.
