American chop suey is an
American pasta
casserole made with ground beef, macaroni and a seasoned tomato sauce,
[1] found in the
cuisine of New England and other regions of the United States.
[2]
[3]
[4] Outside New England it is sometimes called
American goulash or
Johnny Marzetti , among other names.
[5] Despite its name, it has only a very distant relation to the
chop suey of
Chinese and
American Chinese cuisine .
[4]
Though this
comfort food is influenced by
Italian-American cuisine as well as older New England quick and practical meals like the "potato bargain" and "necessity mess," it is known as "American chop suey" both because it is a sometimes-haphazard hodgepodge of meat, vegetables and
Italian seasonings ,
[6] and because it once used rice, a base ingredient in
Chinese cuisine , instead of pasta.
[4]
Standard American chop suey consists of
elbow macaroni and bits of cooked
ground beef with sautéed
onions in a thick
tomato -based sauce.
[7] The dish can be served on a plate or in a bowl, usually accompanied by bread and often
Worcestershire sauce .
