This is a quick recipe using 'canned' spaghetti. We always ate in on Friday nights before we would go to the football games. It is also excellent when served the next day, as the flavors have a chance to mix.

MIMI'S AMERICAN CHOP SUEY
When I was little my mom made this recipe a lot. It was during World War II and it was very inexpensive to prepare. I loved it. I guess you would call it a comfort food for me as I was always so happy when I asked, "What's for supper" and Ma answered, "Chop Suey". She never called it "American Chop Suey" except on her recipe card. It was always "Chop Suey". I can't believe that I haven't posted this as I still make it often. I guess I figured it wasn't fancy enough and everyone knew about it, but because I don't want to lose it, I am posting it now. You will have most the ingredients in your pantry and freezer--there are only five plus salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: Beef, pork, or chicken can all be used in American chop suey. If you're using beef, choose a lean ground beef to reduce the amount of fat in the dish.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables, such as celery, onions, and carrots, will give your chop suey the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in chop suey should be cooked until they're tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooking the vegetables will make them mushy.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is one of the most important ingredients in chop suey, so be sure to use a good quality soy sauce. Look for a soy sauce that is made with natural ingredients and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Add some spice: If you like your food spicy, you can add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the chop suey. You can also add some minced ginger or garlic for extra flavor.
