Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups elbow macaroni
1 ¼ cups mayonnaise
5 teaspoons white vinegar
1 ¼ cups diced celery
1 large tomato, diced
5 green onions, finely chopped
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package bacon

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until chilled. Transfer macaroni to a large salad bowl.
  • Stir mayonnaise, vinegar, celery, tomato, green onions, Cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper into macaroni until thoroughly combined. Cover and chill salad at least 2 hours.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Let bacon cool; crumble when cooled.
  • Mix bacon into macaroni salad to serve.
