Classic Home Style Macaroni Salad

I am all for trying new things. Whenever I go out to eat will look over the menu and decide on something new. Don't be afraid! But there are times when just a good ole classic dish is what me and my family are craving for. Here is a simple macaroni salad that I know your family will enjoy.

CLASSIC HOME STYLE MACARONI SALAD

2 cups of macaroni pasta
1 red bell pepper diced
2 stalks of celery diced
1/2 of a red onion diced
1/2 cup of mayo
1/2 cup of sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons of white vinegar
2 teaspoons of yellow mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of black pepper

Cook your pasta according to the directions of the package. Drain and run under cold water. This stops it from cooking more and you do not want to mix mayo with hot pasta. Cold pasta makes the dressing stick better and it won't be absorbed into the pasta. In a large bowl stir the ingredients together and chill for a few hours. If the pasta seems a little dry then add a little bit of mayo. A spoonful at a time. This makes 8-12 servings. Enjoy!!
