Super easy!
Boil entire box of elbow macaroni and rinse
Let it cool entirely

Boil 4 eggs to hard boil and let cool after peeling
Chop the eggs into small bite size pieces and set aside

Drain the canned peas and set aside

In a large bowl, mix elbow macaroni with a generous amount of mayonaise...1 - 1 1/2 cups. Add chopped eggs, chopped onion and drained peas. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let it set all night. It may be necessary to add more mayo the next day of the macaroni was warm and it absorbed the mayo.

Note: you may also decide to add drained tuna fish if you like. About 1/2 a can

Personal Notes:
Peas are something you don't see in many mac salads but that's the only way Grandma made it. Love it.
