Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb elbow macaroni, sometimes I use small shells or rotini
6-7 slice Velveeta cheese
1/2-3/4 c dill pickle juice
3-4 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp yellow mustard
9 hard boiled eggs, chopped
2-4 dill pickles, chopped (I usually use 4 pickles but you can add less depending on your taste preference)
1/4 onion, chopped
2 strips celery, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
ground pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook macaroni according to the package. Drain when cooked.
  • 2. While macaroni and eggs are cooking, chop the pickles, onion, celery, and tomatoes.
  • 3. Melt cheese over macaroni. Set aside.
  • 4. Mix pickle juice, mayonnaise, and mustard.
  • 5. Pour over macaroni.
  • 6. Once eggs are hard-boiled, peel and chop.

  • 8. Mix everything together.
  • 9. Depending on your preference for the texture, you may want to add more mayonnaise. I also add ground pepper to mine.
