Dad's Working Man's Macaroni Salad image

Beef bologna and American cheese make a heavier macaroni salad for a man's perspective. Good, and always gets snarfed up wherever I take it.

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups elbow macaroni
6 slices American cheese
4 thick slices beef bologna
5 hard-cooked eggs, diced
6 sweet pickles, diced
1 large stalk celery, diced
½ large green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 small red onion, diced
1 ½ cups low-fat creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip Light®)
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
ground black pepper to taste

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 cool under running water until chilled. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
  • Stack American cheese slices alternating with bologna slices and cut into 1/2-inch dice. (Stacking helps prevent cheese from sticking together.) Mix bologna and cheese into macaroni and stir in hard-cooked eggs, sweet pickles, celery, green bell pepper, and red onion. Mix thoroughly.
  • Stir creamy salad dressing and mustard into the salad and season with black pepper. Cover salad and chill in refrigerator until serving time.
