Steps:
- Cook the bacon. I like to line a pan with foil. Then place a sheet of parchment paper over that. I lay my bacon flat on the pan and put it into a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. It turns out perfect every time.
- Cook macaroni according to package directions, but take care not to overboil. Al dente pasta holds up better in this dish. When done cooking, drain macaroni and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- While bacon and macaroni are cooking, chop your onions, tomatoes, and green onions.
- After bacon is cooked, remove it from pan and drain it on a plate covered with a paper towel. Save the bacon grease on the baking pan.
- Carefully pick up your parchment paper and transfer the bacon grease to a small bowl.
- Cut up or crumble the bacon when cool.
- Mix the macaroni, tomato, bacon, onions, and bacon grease together.
- Start with about ½ cup of mayonnaise and stir gently into the other ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Transfer to your serving bowl. You can garnish with chopped green onions, a few chopped tomatoes, and crumbled bacon if you want it to look a little fancier.
- Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
