This is our version of an old Betty Crocker recipe. Again, since we are garlic freaks, we kicked up the garlic and tried other improvement. This is a great side dish or along. Great for potlucks.
Ingredients:
1 (7 ounce) package shell macaroni (small sized)
1 (7 ounce) can tuna, drained
1 cup cubed sharp cheddar cheese (we also shredded it and it was ever better)
1/3 cup minced onion (grated is better)
1 cup salad dressing or 1 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, crushed (again more is better)
3/4 teaspoon salt (can be garlic salt)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup sliced sweet pickle relish (best if left out) (optional)
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni as desired AL DENTE.
2. Drain; rinse with cold water.
3. Combine macaroni, cheese, tuna, pickle relish (if used) and onion in a large bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, stir together salad dressing, salt, pepper and garlic.
5. Pour over macaroni mixture and toss to coat.
6. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
