I grew up eating the never ending pot of American Chop Suey. My mother would just add more tomatoes and pasta to it until I thought I would gag at the thought of one more dinner of it. Thing is, I wanted to have it when I got older after trying other people's versions, so I found some recipes and glued together this. It is creamy because of the cheese, but if you don't like it, you can have it regular . Without the kids being little, I now add hot sauce to it to spice it up, but that is not a part of my original recipe. Ingredients:
5 teaspoons cooking oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 lb ground beef |
15 ounces tomato sauce |
1 onion, chopped |
14 1/2 ounces chopped tomatoes |
1 bell pepper, chopped |
1 1/2 cups chicken broth |
1 stalk celery, chopped |
2 cups elbow macaroni |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat 1 teaspoons Cooking oil in deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook ground beef, breaking it up but leave it a bit chunky, until browned. Drain.
2. Add 1 Tbls. Cooking oil to pan and cook vegetables until softened, about five minutes.
3. Add tomatoes, broth, and meat into pan. Bring to a simmer and cover.
4. Cook 20 minutes. Add pasta, cover and cook 20 minutes more.
5. If desired, mix in cheese and serve.
