"American Chop Suey", or "chop-chop" was my Dad's nickname for it.

Mid-westerner's called it "goulash" for some reason. Then again, American chop wasn't accurate anyway....

Oh...and when last I was there a year ago, there only a couple-two-tree of rotaries left. Thankfully!

while the US version is mixed with it. The recipes are similar enough.

The 1950s magazine recipe called it goulash. My mother usually called it slumgullion, which is basically what it is without pasta.

a casserole similar to the one with the elbow macaroni
she made a similar and cheesier dish called "more" because you always wanted more
It was her go to dish for grieving families

My family loves it. Our daughter married into a Kurdish family and one night she called me asking for that recipe because she was cooking dinner that night and was craving it.

She called me back the next day to tell me they loved it!! Nice change from Persian food.

I add parboiled potatoes to mine and serve it over wide noodles. Also use lots of green bell peppers

I've also seen Jean Mazetti (in various spellings). My mother called it goulash. It would be interesting to see a map showing the J*M* variants vs goulash.

in Nashville.

If it was seasoned with Mexican spices and contained beans it was chili-mac
