macaroni and cheese salad

I love a good bbq. And part of a good bbq in my opinion, is the plethora of food one has to choose from. Multiple meat choices, and and endless amount of sides. Sides upon sides.

Also, in my opinion, one of those sides has to be macaroni salad. There is a local bbq spot around here — Phil’s; which has a macaroni salad that everyone, and I do mean everyone, is absolutely obsessed with.

This is my version. And, not to brag, but even the hubs says mine is better.

Before warned, this recipe makes a ton… perfect for hosting or sharing.
