CHOP SUEY

This is the fast and easy chop suey recipe that my mother always made, and we love it 'as is', but you could substitute a can of Chinese mixed vegetables for the bean sprouts if you like more color and texture. Serve over hot rice, topped with chow mein noodles and soy sauce, if desired.

AMERICAN CHOP SUEY

This is a quick recipe using 'canned' spaghetti. We always ate in on Friday nights before we would go to the football games. It is also excellent when served the next day, as the flavors have a chance to mix.

NEW ENGLAND CHOP SUEY



New England Chop Suey image

American Chop Suey (Or Goulash if you leave BOS/NE) is a cheap hearty food that gained popularity with our grandparents during WWII for obvious reasons.This is a great winter comfort food. The basic shell is here, although this version is a bit zazzed up. Traditional recipe calls for beef, elbows, onion, green pepper, tomato soup and S&P to taste. This should make about 8 servings. Left overs will taste even better, and this is also good to freeze.

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground beef
1 lb elbow macaroni
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style crushed tomatoes
2 (10 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup
10 ounces water, or can of V8 vegetable juice
1 teaspoon sugar
8 baby portabella mushrooms, sliced

Steps:

  • Add hot water to a large pan. I like to add to my pasta water heavy salt, dried oregano and a splash of EVOO. Bring to a boil and add elbows, cook to al dente 9 minutes. Drain pasta and return to pan, set aside.
  • While pasta is cooking chop up a large cup of onions, a cup of mushrooms and garlic to preference.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the onions and half a tbs of EVOO. Soften onions, then add beef. When beef is nearly browned add mushrooms then garlic.
  • Simmer for 2 minutes (enough to mix semi evenly) then strain off excess fat. Add meat mixture to the pan with your pasta and return to low heat.
  • Add the can of crushed tomatoes and 2 cans of condensed soup. Add one soup cans worth of water and keep on low heat 10-15 minutes simmering gently but not sticking. Spice. I salt and pepper generously and add about 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. I like to add a teaspoon of sugar to neutralize the acidity of tomatoes.
  • Serve on a cold day.

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14.5-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup tomato paste
2/3 cup tomato juice
Pinch of sugar
1 pound elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Then add the ground beef and continue to cook, stirring and breaking up the chunks of meat with a spoon. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle the herbs and pepper over the meat, add salt to taste, and mix in well.
  • 2. Add the canned tomatoes with their juices, the tomato sauce, paste, and juice. Add sugar to taste. Simmer while you cook the pasta.
  • 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain. Mix the macaroni into the chop suey. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables will have a better flavor and texture than frozen or canned vegetables. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and crisp, with no signs of wilting or bruising. You can choose to buy pre-chopped vegetables to save time.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. New England chop suey is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of vegetables. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables or try new ones to create your own unique version of the dish.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet. This will help to prevent the vegetables from sticking and burning. A wok is a good choice for cooking chop suey, but you can also use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Cook the vegetables in small batches. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pot, the vegetables will steam rather than fry, and they will not have a good flavor or texture.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients.
  • Add the sauce to the vegetables at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming overcooked or watery.
  • Serve New England chop suey immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, while the vegetables are still hot and crisp.

Conclusion:

New England chop suey is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of vegetables, so it is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Chop suey is also a healthy dish, as it is packed with vegetables that are low in calories and high in nutrients. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook vegetables, give New England chop suey a try. You won't be disappointed!
