American Chop Suey
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive oil If using ground beef, you may not need the oil.
- 1.5 lbs Ground meat Growing up it was beef, but I use a combo of ground turkey breast and “regular” ground turkey
- 0.5 lb Elbow macaroni Uncooked
- 0.5 cup Onion Minced
- 0.5 cup Pepper or Celery Chopped. I use both red peppers & celery; my mom usually made it with green peppers & celery
- 2 8-oz cans Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Pepper
- 1-1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In a large sauté pan, heat a glug or two of olive oil. Brown the meat and remove.
- Wipe out the pan, and add a little more oil. When it’s heated, sauté the macaroni and whatever chopped vegetables you’re using, until the onion is soft.
- Return the browned meat to the pan and add tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
