Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14.5-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup tomato paste
2/3 cup tomato juice
Pinch of sugar
1 pound elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Then add the ground beef and continue to cook, stirring and breaking up the chunks of meat with a spoon. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle the herbs and pepper over the meat, add salt to taste, and mix in well.
  • 2. Add the canned tomatoes with their juices, the tomato sauce, paste, and juice. Add sugar to taste. Simmer while you cook the pasta.
  • 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain. Mix the macaroni into the chop suey. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Chop all your vegetables and measure out your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to cook all the ingredients without overcrowding the pan.
  • Cook the meat and vegetables in batches: If you try to cook everything at once, it will be difficult to get an even cook. Instead, cook the meat and vegetables in separate batches, removing them from the pan as they are done.
  • Use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce: This will help to create a thick, glossy sauce that will coat the rice and vegetables.
  • Serve with rice: American chop suey is traditionally served over rice. However, you can also serve it with noodles or other grains.

Conclusion:

American chop suey is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and flavorful sauce, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give American chop suey a try.
