A very freezable meal that the kids love…that I make a lot is American Chop Suey.
I think it’s a New England dish. My grandmother used to make it and my sister and I loved it.
Unfortunately she never wrote down her recipe but I know most of my family has tried to replicate it and I’m fairly certain I’m the only one who has it down to her specifications.
Elbow Macaroni
Can of Cambell’s Tomato soup
Tomato paste (about 2 table spoons…mostly for taste and texture)
Green Peppers and onions…chopped
Browned ground beef.
Add water…depending on how thin or thick you like the sauce.
My dad and my sister make it with regular marinara sauce…but I’m a creature of habit and I was bent on recreating my grandmother’s original recipe.
I knew she used the tomato soup…but it never tasted right with just the soup alone.
On a hunch I put some paste in and hit the jackpot. It was the original recipe…tasted exactly like it.
It’s very kid friendly.
