American chop suey is a popular home-style dish from the New England region. It's unrelated to the Chinese stew of the same name and more closely resembles an Italian pasta dish. American chop suey is a thick stew of ground beef simmered with onions, garlic, aromatic herbs, bell peppers, and tomatoes in a tomato sauce, then mixed with cooked pasta. It's most often prepared with cone-shaped pasta, which absorbs a lot of the delicious sauce. The dish is very filling and nutritious, perfect for feeding a large family.
