MOM'S AMERICAN CHOP SUEY (1950'S BASIC)
A school lunchtime classic. Quick and easy to make. Very bland but has remarkable taste. My sister has tried it and say it's just as she remembers Mom's. All you need to finish this recipe is some Kraft shaker cheese to complete the memory. Mom probably got the recipe from a 1950 vintage Betty Crocker cookbook. Quantities are approximate. Mom seldom measured anything. We usually make a double batch. Enjoy. If you add a bit of garlic powder, chili powder and a can of kidney beans you would create Mom's Chili Mac Recipe.

I often double the recipe because it doesn't last to long in my house, it is a favorite! For a variation try adding 1 pound Italian sausage meat in addition to the ground beef. Or for a more health lower fat variation try ground turkey.

CENTRAL AMERICAN CHOP SUEY
This is a traditional christmas side dish in Honduras (usually served along side Nacatamales). You can also add shrimp to the dish but I usually will not do this if I am planning to serve for a large party as shrimp can go bad in 1-2 hrs and it will spoil the entire dish. I also use gloves when peeling the ayote because it has a sticky residue that leaves your hand peeling and very dry. I do not recommend buying the cabbage pre-shredded because when it comes time to stir fry, the cabbage is cut so thin that it burns very quickly. I rather shred with a knife. You can also completly omit the meat and make it vegiterian!

Steps:
- 1. Brown the hamburg in a medium size sauce pan until it's about 3/4 of the way done (mostly brown with some pink) and drain the grease. Return beef back to the pan.
- 2. Take the stewed tomatoes and mash them over the pan with your hand. Give them a really good squeeze and really separate the tomatoes into pieces and let the juice fall in. Do this with all of the stewed tomatoes. Pour the remaining juice from the can into the mix.
- 3. Put the entire contents of the can of diced tomatoes and green chilies into the beef mixture.
- 4. Let this sit on the stove on low. Meanwhile, boil your pasta until it is halfway cooked.
- 5. Once the pasta is half-cooked, add it to the meat and cook on low until tender. The extra juices from the tomatoes will really help soften the pasta. **Depending on the type of pasta, I don't always use the entire box. The amount can be added per your individuality.**
- 6. EARLIER PREP OPTION: Once the meat is browned, I put it in a crockpot (while it's off), with the cover on and let it sit until I'm ready to use it. The pasta, I toss it with cold water and olive oil and refrigerate until I'm ready for that. Then a 1/2 hour before we are going to eat, I put the crockpot on low and add the half-cooked pasta and let it all heat up together.
