Comment préparer Bbq Macaroni Salad

Bring 4 quarts (1 gallon) of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt.
Add 1 pound of macaroni (elbow or your favorite shape) and cook until nearly tender but still firm to the bite, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain the macaroni in a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold water until completely cool. Drain again briefly, leaving the pasta slightly moist.
Transfer the cooled macaroni to a large bowl.
Add 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon hot sauce (your preference), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional). Gently toss to combine and let sit for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise and 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (Texas Best or Bull's-Eye recommended, or your favorite). Gently toss and let stand for 5 minutes to allow excess liquid to be absorbed.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. If the salad seems dry before serving, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of warm water to restore creaminess.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
