The Worlds Best Macaroni and Cheese Salad

I usually don't measure and I usually make this for big family gatherings. So Take away from the recipe as you see fit. I get a whole lot of complements on this salad and I enjoy it myself. The bacon bits add crunch and taste.

I LOVED it. Wasn't sure how i felt about eggs and bacon since the only macaroni salad i usually buy is store bought but i was delightfully surprised. I carmelized the onions before adding them and omitted the olives only because i don't like them.

    I was looking for a non meat macaroni salad and this is GREAT! I ommited the olives and bacon bits...only because I did not have them, and I used 5 eggs, changed the onions to green onions from the garden. roughly about 1 lb of macaroni. I will throw the other stuff in next time I do this as well as some green peas. Thanks so much!!! This is good eatin for the kiddos as well!!!! ~Shelly

    WOW! Thanks for a welcome addition to my cookbook....Even my DH who does not like macaroni salad brought some in for lunch the next day....I believe his exact words were "Hey, this is good, where did you get this one from?" I even only used 6 eggs, 1 can of olives & 1 pkg shredded chedder...If you got any more keep'em comming....
