American Chop Suey ( My Way)
American Chop Suey ( My Way)– My family loves this. I love it because its easy and delicious. Always a winner in my book.
We are all about simple and easy in this house. But I do like to change things up a bit here and there too. But always keeping it simple too.
So one day I decided to add bacon to my chop suey and we had a winner!! I mean bacon makes everything taste better
I make chop suey a few different ways but this one is definitely a winner!!
This is one of my favorite comfort foods growing up. I’ve only changed a few things in my mother’s version. I add garlic and garlic powder and more tomatoes. The green bell pepper is optional, but my husband likes it.
This recipe makes a big batch, and the leftovers are delicious, too. The Sauce can be frozen and used for a leter date when you don’t feel like making a dinner.
Depending on where you are and region your from, American Chop Suey can be called Chili Mac, Beefaroni and Goulash. Somehow I think they are all pretty delicious!
Make this today!! You will love it!
