AUNT BONNIE'S RING MACARONI TUNA SALAD

This was a staple at my Aunt Bonnie's barbeques, but the recipe probably originated from the back of a Creamettes box in the 1960's. In Minnesota, we obviously use Creamettes Macaroni Rings. You can use anellini pasta for this recipe. Cooking time does not include refrigerating time.

GREAT-AUNT NINA'S NOODLES AND CHICKEN



Great-Aunt Nina's Noodles and Chicken image

To a slow cooker chicken, I added an old family noodle recipe. If you want it to be more like a soup, add another quart of broth. This was a fixture at family reunions when I was a child, and the slow cooker makes it even easier.

Time 8h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 carrots, sliced
2 onions, sliced
2 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup white wine
¼ teaspoon dried basil
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup water
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 quarts low salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Place the carrots, onions and celery in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place the whole chicken on top of the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the white wine and sprinkle basil over the top. Cover and cook on Low setting for 8 to 10 hours.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, water, salt, shortening and flour to form a stiff dough. After I've mixed in as much flour as possible using a fork, I knead the dough with my hand in the bowl to incorporate as much flour as possible. Let the dough rest for a few minutes.
  • Roll the dough out on a well-greased board to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or pie crust cutter to cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long. Dust lightly with flour, and leave to dry for a few hours while the chicken cooks.
  • When the chicken is done, remove the meat and vegetables to a platter. Transfer the juices to a large pot and stir in 2 quarts of chicken broth. Bring to a boil and add the noodles. Cook for about 10 minutes, until tender. Meanwhile, remove the meat from the chicken and shred. Discard bones and skin. When the noodles are done, return the vegetables to the pot and add shredded chicken meat. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna for the best flavor. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in oil.
  • If you don't have any celery on hand, you can substitute thinly sliced green bell pepper or cucumber.
  • For a creamier salad, use mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip.
  • If you're watching your calories, you can use low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise or Miracle Whip.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. It will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Aunt Bonnie's Ring Macaroni Tuna Salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
