  • Finally! Have been searching all over internet for the simple and basic American Chop Suey my mother made. Thank you, this is it! Not all the tomato sauces , tomato soups and/or cheese everyone else wants to add. Thank you so much

  • I have made this same dish, minus the green pepper, for years. My new mother in law taught me to make it. We lived in Vermont and it was called goulash. I still make it every once in awhile when I feel like some good comfort food. I will try it with the green pepper next time. Sounds like a good addition.

  • Is that what it is called? lol My dad was not a cook per se, but he taught or told me to fix this when I was a little girl. He also would have me make hot dogs and tomatoes with rice instead sometimes.
