I was going to post this American Chop Suey on my other blog, but I realized this dish's meaty, saucy flavors fit our Filipino tastes perfectly. In fact, one of my most popular recipes on the blog is a cheesy baked macaroni<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the baked mac<\/a> is absolutely scrumptious, it's not something you'd gladly whip up on a busy weeknight as it requires a few steps, such as making the bechamel sauce and the meat sauce, cooking the noodles, and baking it all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This American chop suey, however, takes the cake on easy. Too easy that you can have it ready in 30 minutes and one pot!<\/p>\n\n\n

Difference between American and Chinese Chop Suey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

American chop suey is a regional pasta dish popular in New England. Unlike its Asian<\/a> namesake, which is a hodgepodge of tender-crisp vegetables and bite-sized meat cooked in a savory stir-fry sauce, it's made of cooked ground beef, sauteed onions, and a rich tomato sauce similar to beef or chili mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cooked pasta is traditionally served on a plate or in a bowl with Worcestershire sauce and grated Parmesan for additional seasoning and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"browning<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cooking steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Ground beef is cooked with garlic, onions, and bell peppers until lightly browned.<\/li>
  2. Crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato sauce are added to complete the meat sauce. Tomato juice is traditionally used as an additional liquid.<\/li>
  3. The dish is seasoned with dried Italian herbs such as basil and oregano help season the dish along with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.<\/li>
  4. As sugar is a key ingredient here, the dish does have the hint of sweetness we love in our Filipino-style spaghetti<\/a>. \ud83d\ude42<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This macaroni and beef is not only simple to make, but it's also budget-friendly and a great make-ahead meal. The recipe yields a generous 6 servings, but you can easily double or triple to feed a large crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n
