Isn't Chop Suey American Chop Suey.
Chop Suey was invented in America, so yeah. Unless it migrated to China or something.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Silly ita, that's Chinese-American Chop Suey. This is even more blandly Americanish. Still, that's another reason Mac Chewy is the clear winner in the name sweeps.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, so very glad my mother only had the one casserole recipe. Although, she also made goulash. This may have been a factor in my learning to cook pretty early on.
No likey slumgully, chop suey, soupy-curry dishes, casserole, hot dish, etc.. I think it's a texture/waaaay too many flavors at once thing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We had the same goulash. Still a favorite.
We had chop suey out of a can until my family started "stir frying" in electric frying pans. I still love those crunchy noodle things.
Our baked mac and cheese had breadcrumbs and tomatoes on top. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

My husband threatens to open a cafe called the Beige Bistro where he would serve all of his favorite foods: chicken, mashed potatoes, bread, etc.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I never had it as a kid, but DH makes it for himself when he's home alone. He calls it chili-mac. The only thing my mom ever made with canned cream soup was tuna casserole. (Name upgraded to "tuna shit" when we hit high school.)

Mine isn't a casserole. It's really like a ragu, without the spices.

Mac n Cheese made in a skillet with Velveeta is still one of my favorite comfort foods. Canned green beans on the side, tyvm.
I'm going to be sending in three recipes, one of them is a fettuccini I invented at 12 or so made of everything in the fridge. SO yummy. Of course, it was expensive to make after the first time since it has so many ingredients. Well, expensive then, I'm sure it's actually pretty reasonable.
Oh! Four! My Mom's porkchops should be mentioned too. Cream of whatever, ketchup, worshtichire, bake. Soooo tender.

Because books.
Amy Liz, my Mom made the same "goulash".
I'm fairly sure it was one of those Woman's Day/Ladies Home Journal recipes at some point.
We also used to have (and I still make for the kids) "Sloppy Joes" from browned ground beef, onion and garlic, lots and lots of ketchup, a little sugar, and some chopped green pepper. Serve on hamburger rolls. Delicious. (But sloppy.)
When Julia was little, she couldn't say "American Chop Suey" so she accidentally renamed it "Mac Chewy" which cracks me up, so I often call it that, now.
Hee! That's a perfect name!
Last night the alumni director here fell end over teakettle down the stairs, during an alumni event, in an outfit that probably cost more than the Bluebook value of my car.
Ooooh. Ouch.

It must have been.
