Macaroni Salad
Ingredients
  • 3 cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
Instructions
1
Boil a large pot of water seasoned with salt until it reaches a rolling boil.
2
Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally every minute or so until it reaches the desired level of doneness but still retains a slight firmness in the center, 8 minutes.
3
While the macaroni is cooking, combine salt, dry mustard, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, white pepper, and black pepper in a small bowl to create a blend of seasonings.
4
In a separate large container, whisk together mayonnaise, evaporated milk, and sour cream until they form a smooth and creamy mixture.
5
Stir in the blend of seasonings until well incorporated.
6
Drain the cooked macaroni under cold running water to stop the cooking process, then rinse it thoroughly with cold water until cooled.
7
Drain the macaroni again to remove excess moisture.
8
Add cooked macaroni, diced onion, chopped celery, grated carrots, and sliced bell peppers to the container; mix until everything is well combined and evenly coated with the dressing.
