This is a good Summer dinner. I cook for a large family and always try to have left overs so the amount this makes might be a little big for some. In addition, the amounts for ingredients is an estimate since I usually just add what I feel like. Make adjustments according to your family's likes.
4 medium tomatoes diced
1 small red onion chopped
1 cup Cheddar Cheese cubed
1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese cubed
4 slices of Ham lunch meat cubed
(all of the above ingredients are done in small pieces)
3 small cans of tuna
1 can of peas
(I usually drain these over the cooked noodles)
6 to 8 cups macaroni noodles
mayonnaise
1) Cook macaroni noodles while chopping other ingredients.
2) Put tomatoes, onion, cheeses, ham, tuna, and peas in large bowl. Add a large spoonful of mayonnaise and mix thoroughly to moisten mixture.
3) Drain and cool noodles in cold water. Once noodles are cool add to the other ingredients. Add more mayonnaise if needed to keep salad moist.
We have had grilled cheese sandwiches with this meal. I enjoy having this for lunch on the following day.
