First, start by boiling your desired amount of pasta.This is my mother’s tuna macaroni salad recipe and I haven’t changed anything aside from the red onion, it reminds me of her so much and it’s really the best tuna macaroni salad I’ve ever eaten. If the red onions are too strong for you sweet onions (sweet Vidalia onions) make a great alternative or even some sliced scallions. She used white onions, but I like to use red onions for color. We like to keep our tuna macaroni salad pretty simple and just the way my mom made it. Now if you’ve read about what foods are off-limits during pregnancy canned tuna and pregnancy don’t usually go together, but if you have to have it, you can find it with less from several brands now. Since our family loves tuna so much having less mercury is a big deal. We also make sure our canned tuna is wild caught.

If you wanted to make this a healthy tuna macaroni salad you could use healthy food swaps like avocado and yogurt, but to stay true to tradition we shared my mom’s way, but we did use organic mayonnaise! 🙂 Not much has changed, aside from us purchasing canned tuna with less mercury. Add some crispy bread crumbs on top and bake for 20 minutes and you’ll have an amazing homemade macaroni and cheese that you’ll want to eat the whole pan of … in one sitting.When you make this, you could enjoy it right away, but we prefer to enjoy our tuna macaroni salad cold. This super easy recipe is cheesy, creamy perfection. The secret to creating the best macaroni and cheese recipe is the cheese! You can pretty much use any cheese you happen to have on hand (perfect plan for using up the leftover cheeseboard from the night before during the holidays!) I like using a combination of cheddar, Muenster, smoked Gouda and Harvard. Cavatappi is definitely my favorite noodle to use when making homemade macaroni and cheese, but you can use macaroni noodles or any other noodles you like. It’s an amazing recipe for cavatappi noodles with a creamy cheese sauce that’s simply perfect. This homemade macaroni and cheese isn’t dry or chunky or bland. Even my brother (a picky eater who doesn’t like mac and cheese) said it was the best he’s ever had. It’s The Best Homemade Macaroni and Cheese recipe … ever. This recipe might just make you ditch the blue box for good. This is the best homemade macaroni and cheese … ever.
