American Chop Suey Gluten Free Food

AMERICAN CHOP SUEY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion, green bell pepper and garlic. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened -- about 10 minutes. Uncover and season with salt and pepper.
• Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Brown, stirring and breaking apart as it cooks. Once the beef is fully browned and crumbled, combine with veggies. Carefully pour off excess fat into a bowl (you'll want to discard that safely later). Add the Italian herbs and stir well to combine.
• Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss well. Add the pasta, toss again and let cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed throughout. Serve.

AMERICAN CHOP SUEY (JUST LIKE MAMA USED TO MAKE)

Steps:

• In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped celery and cook a few minutes. Add the cut-up green bell pepper, and cook a few more minutes. Add the onion and continue to cook until celery, peppers, and onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and mix into the vegetables. Then add the ground beef, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook until the ground beef is browned, about another 5 minutes, mixing the beef up with the vegetables. Sprinkle the mixture with the sugar, basil, oregano, and parsley and mix. Add the stewed tomatoes, juices and all. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Let simmer, covered, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, cook the elbow macaroni, according to the directions on box, in a very large saucepan. But, don't overcook. The macaroni should be al dente, because it will continue to cook a little when added to the beef/vegetable mixture. Drain pasta and put back into the large saucepan in which it was cooked.
• Very carefully, add the beef and vegetable mixture, juices and all, to the drained pasta in the large saucepan. Mix well and keep heated, covered, stirring occasionally, on a very low heat.
• When ready to serve, just put the pot of "American Chop Suey" along with bowls in the middle of the table, so everyone can help themselves. Serve with a basket of good Italian bread and butter.

• Chop onion finely, and add to pan mixture along with the garlic power, tomato soup, and sugar. Mix together. Stir frequently. Cook until very hot and until mixture has a little bit of a crumbly texture.
• Add cooked noodles to mixture, and stir well.

GLUTEN AND CORN-FREE CROCK POT CHOP SUEY: JUST SET AND FORGET IT

Steps:

• Place meat into bottom of the crock pot. Add jar of molasses, then fill empty molasses jar with San-J and pour into crock pot. (For a lower-sodium dish add less molasses and less soy sauce in equal parts.) Next add two pints of water, then all remaining ingredients.
• Please note: when adding arrowroot starch it is best to add it to cold water to avoid clumping. Be sure to stir the powder until it dissolves into a smooth creamy liquid. Uncover and unplug the crockpot when the dish is ready to be served, then in a separate saucepan prepare rice as directed. Serves 6-8 adult-sized portions.
