Ooh! I didn't! Maybe I'll try it tomorrow.
I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's filled with evil versions of regular Buffistas!

Haven't we had the "What did you call macaroni, ground beef, and tomatoes?" conversation? For the record, my mom called it American Chop Suey.
Surely somebody's put together a regional map by now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
"What did you call macaroni, ground beef, and tomatoes?"
A waste of good macaroni and beef.

The internet seems to say that New Englanders call it American Chop Suey, midwesterners call it goulash, and "other areas of the country" call it slumgullion.

More internet searching seems to suggest that the name "slumgullion" is western, from the Slumgullion Pass in Colorado.
Edit: nope, other way. Slumgullion Pass was named for the muddy landslide, which looked kinda like stew.

And a bit more internet searching tells me that "slumgullion" is a word that miners in the old West used for pretty much any dish made by throwing together whatever was available into a pot, and the meaning solidified around that particular mix of stuff during WWI.

We'd have ground beef with canned tomatoes, macaroni, whole black olives and canned corn (the recipe called for creamed corn but we never used that) mixed in and some cheddar cheese melted on top, which went by the name of Italian Delight. I though it came from the "I Hate to Cook" book, but I couldn't find the recipe in it last time I looked.
One of my favorite meals.

yes, we've had this conversation before. My mom called it Johnny Mazzetti and she used spices and also added veggies sometimes, like green peppers. I think maybe sliced green olives also and topped it with shredded cheddar. I still liked it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
American Chop Suey here, and delicious. I should make that sometime soon.
