Cooking Instructions
- Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water over high heat and adding elbow macaroni. Cook according to package directions for about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart for about 6-8 minutes until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and let cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooled macaroni and browned beef into the dressing mixture and toss gently until coated.
- Fold in cheddar cheese, pickles, red onion, and tomatoes, mixing until evenly blended.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. When ready to serve, add shredded lettuce and enjoy!
