Grew up in Boston it was American Chop Suey. My grandmother made it the best, instead of starting the beef in olive oil, she taught me to start in salt pork. Adds a nice different depth of flavor.
I grew up in mass too and my mom would toss the pasta right in with the meat and onions along with broth, tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes. With a dash of Worcestershire sauce let it all cook down together.
This is the exact basic recipe. Made it dozens of times. Try it, there is nothing not to like. I usually do 2 lbs. of meat, or half hamburger, half sausage. Add garlic with the onions if you like it. We do. Important!! Undercook the elbows since they will then absorb some of the sauce and will be less mushy. Came from Somerville Mass. Always was American Chop Suey.
I grew up and still live in New England which is where it’s called American Chop Suey. Ate it all the time growing up. I believe goulash is the midwestern term for the same. Looks good!
Enjoyed the video. I grew up in Boston and American chop was a staple in our house too. Mom would add some peas to the recipe. It was one of the ways she could get us to eat vegetables. These days I make mine with venison that I've harvested.
Born/raised in NE Iowa; it was ALWAYS "Goulash" is my neck of the woods. It truly was/is comfort food at it's finest. "American Chop Suey" must be an East Coast name for the dish. Thanks for sharing the video. Y'all Be Safe!
@@homecookbasics The recipe looked sooo good, I HAD to try it. It was so good! As they say good, solid comfort food regardless what it's called!! Thanks for sharing.
You cook so CLEAN! I’d be confident eating food prepared in your kitchen! Beautiful!!! I just made this for the first time and I THINK the magic ingredients are 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Gives it a little bit of a kick. Try it!
Great video and the Goulash looks amazing. While I have heard it called American Chop Suey, I've always known it as Goulash! 😍 Your videos are wonderful, I definitely subscribed and I'm looking forward to seeing them all!
My Dads Family was From Maine. He moved to Medford Mass. In the 30s. I was Born and raised in Medford and grew up there in the 60s and 70s. My Dad would make this American Chop Suey but when he was growing up they called it “ Slum Gullion. That’s what I new it as.
I still have an Aunt , My Fathers only surviving Sister , who’s 80 and told Me her Dad also made “ Slum Gullion “ , so that would have Her Dad , My Grandfather making it around the Turn of the Century.
Grew up in New England (Mass & Maine) - American Chop Suey all the way!! Thanks for bringing back all those wonderful memories. I make it for my son now, teaching him Grammy's recipe.
My Mother's American Chop suey was just a little different. She would skip the green pepper but add about 2 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese to it. Then put it is a 9X13 baking dish and bake it covered for 20 minutes then another 10 minutes uncovered until the top was nice and browned. It was the best!!
My Aunt made it. 1lb cooked Elbow Mac rinsed & drained. Rough chopped onions, green peppers. 1-2 stalks sliced celery. Saute & break up 1/2 to 1 lb gr. beef for 3-5 minutes on med heat to med high heat.. Add onions, celery, green peppers mid way into browning. Season with salt, pepper, 2-3 T It Seasoning, 1-2 T garlic powder, 1 T oregano. Cook until veggies are softened. Carefully drain grease with lid or use paper towels & tongs to carefully blot off grease. In large 2 quart dish. Combine meat mixture with cooked elbow Mac. Add 1 can hunts tomato juice or sauce, 2 lg cans stewed tomatoes, 1 sm can of sliced mushrooms. Mix well. Adjust seasoning to taste. Bake 350 for 40 mins covered. Uncover. Then top with cheese of your choice. My Aunt used sliced American. I use 6 chz Italian, American or sharp cheddar cheese. mozzarella broil uncovered until top is melted, slightly bubbly & browned.
Went back to Fort Riley Ks to visit the inlaws and somehow got roped into watching my 2 nieces while the moms went shopping. I asked them what they wanted for dinner (time not lunch) I could tell the way they looked they had no clue about Dinner at noon time and American Chop Suey and supper. They looked at me like WTF is ACS? Lesson learned.
Im from Haverhill we call it american chop suey then moved to phoenix n they called it goulash n i thought of like a cold potato soup from russia n it was american chop
Way to fancy for American Chop Suey. You’d be laughed out of my 3 decker for this. Here’s what you need to do. Brown one pound of ground beef with some salt and pepper. Add one can of Campbell’s tomato soup and a small can of tomato sauce. Add one cup of prepared elbow macaroni. Your done. Right ma?
So the question is...when you were a kid was it called American Chop Suey or Goulash? Let me know in the comments! Also if you want the full recipe: homecookbasics.com/american-chop-suey-recipe/
@@1goodmann You might have a point on it not being Goulash, but adding "American" to Chop Suey adequately differentiates it to not simply being a Chinese dish.

Balsamic vinegar would be good! But I can not change the recipe... it was my mothers.

Way to fancy for American Chop Suey. You’d be laughed out of my 3 decker for this. Here’s what you need to do.
Brown one pound of ground beef with some salt and pepper.

Right ma?
Hey this is the way my Mom made it.
@@homecookbasics That’s cool…you must have been rich…
Ah the great dilemma solved. Tomato sauce, diced, or crushed... :D Thank you!
Perfect!
American chop suey but I'm from New Hampshire
American Slop Chewy is what we affectionately called it.

Delicious but where’s the garlic?
Hmm... need to have garlic.

Goulash
Are your from Canada? I think Goulash is a popular Canadian name for this dish.
I think calling this chop suey is even more baffling than calling it goulash. Looks tasty, though, and that's what ultimately matters.
Ya weird name but a classic!
American chop suey
Its chopsuey
Yes!
HI! No offence bro. Chop suey is a chinese dish and that is not goulash. Saying for a friend.
ps I am counting down waiting for the trolls to attack me!! Who's first?
@@1goodmann You might have a point on it not being Goulash, but adding "American" to Chop Suey adequately differentiates it to not simply being a Chinese dish.
@@TAWest3169 Ok.
