One day, it hit me...the vivid memory of a pot of American Chop Suey on Fran Girardi's stove top...from probably 25 or 30 years ago. I asked her for the recipe last week, and here is the simple set of directions. Yum.
Aunty Fran’s American Chop Suey
Sauté a small onion in some butter or margarine.
Add about 1 to 1 1/4 pound (depending on how much you want to make) to the sautéed onion and brown beef.
Drain off fat.
Add 1 large can of kitchen ready tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder and simmer for about 1/2 hour or so.
Meanwhile boil elbow macaroni (1/2 to 1 pound…depending on how much you want to end up with) according to package directions.
Drain pasta and add to meat mixture and wala!! Enjoy!!
