MOM'S AMERICAN CHOP SUEY (1950'S BASIC)
A school lunchtime classic. Quick and easy to make. Very bland but has remarkable taste. My sister has tried it and say it's just as she remembers Mom's. All you need to finish this recipe is some Kraft shaker cheese to complete the memory. Mom probably got the recipe from a 1950 vintage Betty Crocker cookbook. Quantities are approximate. Mom seldom measured anything. We usually make a double batch. Enjoy. If you add a bit of garlic powder, chili powder and a can of kidney beans you would create Mom's Chili Mac Recipe.

MOM'S FAMOUS CHOP SUEY AND NOODLES
Steps:
- Boil noodles in water until tender. Drain and convert to large bowl. Add seasoning, soy, brown sugar, oil, oyster sauce and blend well. Spray large metal broiler pan with cooking spray and spread 1/4 of the noodles onto the pan evenly. Bake at 350 degrees, turning noodles every 10 minutes for 30 minutes total, or until dry. Repeat with remaining noodles, baking 1/4 of the batch at a time. Marinate meat separately. Then, set meat aside in separate marinades while preparing vegetables.
- Clean, wash, and julienne the vegetables. Set each vegetable aside in separate piles. Bring big pot of water to boil. Partially boil each vegetable group separately dipping them in the hot water for 1 minute or less. Do not par-boil the mushrooms or green onions. Saute the mushrooms in butter until cooked. Once the vegetables are all par-boiled or cooked, you can mix them together in a large bowl, along with the green onions.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a hot stir-fry pan. Remove garlic pieces and ginger from the meat marinade. Divide pork and ginger from meat marinade. Divide pork and chicken into 3 batches a piece. Stir fry each batch very quickly until cooked through and mix meats. Set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot pan. Stir fry 2 to 3 handfuls of mixed vegetable for half a minute. Stir in small portion of meat mixture. Add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce while stir frying. Toss together and serve on a bed of noodles. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Be sure to keep the amount of vegetable you are stir frying in small batches until all has been cooked and blended together.

CHOP SUEY
This is the fast and easy chop suey recipe that my mother always made, and we love it 'as is', but you could substitute a can of Chinese mixed vegetables for the bean sprouts if you like more color and texture. Serve over hot rice, topped with chow mein noodles and soy sauce, if desired.

MOM'S AMERICAN CHOP SUEY
First off, let me say....it's bland. That's the way they cooked way back when!!!! Or maybe my mom did cause my dad was a meat & potato man, nothing spicy for him. I spice our's up by adding stuff!! I'm just giving you her recipe for some real comfort food. Four of us kids(oldest being 71 and youngest being 55) still make this. You have to add what you like to it. I can't change her recipe. Too many memories go along with this recipe.

MOM'S AMERICAN CHOP SUEY
Total comfort food for me. My mother made this when I was growing up and now I make it for my family. This is for a large amount so I can freeze some for another meal. You might need to add another can of tomato soup if it seems to dry. Feel free to add more onions, peppers and mushrooms if you want.

AMERICAN CHOP SUEY (JUST LIKE MAMA USED TO MAKE)
I've found that the only place in the world that this recipe is called "American Chop Suey" is in and around the Boston area. Everywhere else it is known as goulash. Go into most any diner north of Boston, and "American Chop Suey" is on the lunch menu. This is a one pot meal that is terrific during these budget-conscious times. It is a comfort food that brings back wonderful childhood memories of simpler times. I've told friends that have asked for the recipe that if I give it to them, they have to call it "American Chop Suey", not goulash:).

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.
