There is no quicker meal utilizing pantry items than this. Sometimes though, I look at it and say, yep, I have no other fresh meat in the fridge, what am I going to do with you! Sometimes I have the time to lovingly labor over a beautiful Lasagna or I am all about making a big pot of Minestrone Soup… but, sometimes I am in a hurry and just want to get a quick dinner on the table. Although, I usually end up using at least half of it if not all of it throughout the week. ingredients 1 tablespoon shortening 1 12 lbs pork or 1 1/2 lbs beef, cut in 1/2-inch cubes salt pepper flour 1 large onion, diced 3 cups celery, sliced. I just pick it up thinking, well if I don’t think of anything, I can just freeze it.
#Old fashioned chop suey recipe full#
But, unlike the steak I pick up or the full chicken I plan to turn into a stock and use the meat in various recipes, I often don’t really have a plan for what to do with this American staple. A little more often if I find that it is on sale in the interim weeks. It is by far one of the easiest weeknight dinners that any home cook can throw together in well under 30 minutes! Just about every other week or so, I pick up a package of family size ground beef. No frills, no fuss, just ground beef, onions, pasta, sauce and a few (quite literally 3) seasonings. This here is your basic, good old-fashioned American Chop Suey recipe. It is something the whole family loves and it is easy to change-up by adding in mix-in’s like a can of corn, making it a quick and easy Sheppard’s Pie substitute or sprinkling some mozzarella cheese on top, making it into a sort of easy skillet lasagna! True, sometimes I will actually crave a good American Chop Suey with its saucy ground beef, savory onions and warm filling maccaroni, but honestly most times I make this meal it is out of sheer panic! American Chop Suey is 9/10ths pantry food items and 1/10th fresh (or frozen) meat. Ingredients 1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms 2 celery ribs, sliced 1 medium onion. I call this meal the “IhavegroundbeefinmyfridgeandIhavenoideawhattomakefordinner” meal option.
