Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Cook Macaroni: Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package directions until al dente. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the pasta. Set aside.
2. Combine Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the hard-boiled eggs (chopped or diced), sweet pickle relish, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped or diced onion.
3. Prepare Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Miracle Whip salad dressing, yellow mustard, white vinegar, white sugar, and celery seed. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Dress Vegetables: Pour this prepared dressing mix over the bowl of combined vegetables. Stir gently to coat everything.
5. Combine All Ingredients: Add the cooled, cooked macaroni to the bowl with the dressed vegetables. Stir everything together until well combined and the macaroni is evenly coated with the dressing and vegetables.
6. Chill: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.
