American Chop Suey

Fiantas

Mr. Feef has requested this for his hockey meals.  I have a recipe from my mom, but I'm not crazy about it, Any of you ladies have one to share?

I've never had a recipe for American Chop Suey... I have always just thrown it together. I made it last night in fact. I use elbows, or ziti. Brown hamburg or turkey, I toss it together in a pan with a small jar of tomato sauce and a big can diced tomatos or stewed. Sometimes I throw in canned corn or carrots, I have also added garlic sauteed spinach for extra different. I spice to taste too, italian seasoning, garlic salt and powder, pepper. Until it tastes good.... I'm sure that didn't help you much- but I am too impatient to follow recipes :-(

I'm sure you could look a recipe up online somewhere like Allrecipes.com.. anyways.. its pretty easy and hard to mess up... so I never really follow a recipe for this.  I just brown the hamburg and at the same time I boil elbow macaroni.  Then mix the hamburg and macaroni with your favorite tomator sauce.  I use a mix of tomatoe sauce and paste.  Then just season to taste = )

I don't have a recipe either.  I just saute up some onions and one clove of garlic (b/c I can't make anything without garlic - most people don't use garlic) and sometimes green peppers (depends on my mood - mostly without).  I brown ground beef in that mixture - to flavor it - and then drain the oil out.  I throw in a jar of tomato sauce and a can of petite diced tomatoes with the juice - I throw in some Italian Seasoning Blend then too - for taste.  Simmer while the elbows are cooking.  When the elbows are done, I throw them in the sauce, cook for a couple minutes and serve with grated cheese on top. 

We had this Saturday night.   It's good comfort food.

Mine couldn't be easier and I love it:

brown the hamburg with chopped onion and green pepper

then throw that in with (cooked) pasta like elbows or small shells

mix in 2 cans of tomato soup

Everyone always thinks the tomato soup sounds so strange, but it's so good!

I just experimented with this for Mr. Feef's hockey widow meals this week. ?I used the tomato soup - cause i figured why not.

?Pete is PRETTY excited to eat alone tomorrow.
