Have been making this for years.Will never be bland if you brown green peppers wth onions. Season wth salt/pepper and garlic pwdr. Use Marinara Sc. instead of tomato soup. Add diced fresh tomato's. I top it with cheddar cheese when serving

I made this tonight for a quick dinner for my family. I remember growing up eating American Chop Suey! My daughter loves it when they serve it for school lunch so I thought I would make it. It turned out great! I did change/add ingredients according to my parent's recipe as well as the tastes of my girls. I used three cans of Healthy Request Campbell's soup, ground turkey instead of ground beef, added 3/4 c. of water or broth, and while browning the ground turkey, I threw in 3/4 c. frozen chopped bagged onion and 3/4 c. frozen bagged chopped green pepper (much faster!) I also put a few dashes of cayenne pepper and garlic powder to spice it up just a bit. Came out great; my family loved it. I will definitely make again!! Thank you April for submitting this recipe! Topping with alittle parmesan cheese was nice.

I add a can of diced tomatoes and a little tomato juice to this every time I make it. I serve this with grated parmesan cheese & have occasionally tossed in some frozen corn. Quick & simple comfort food!

very good but i agree about being bland...added garlic powder, cajun seasoning, hot sauce, and lots of pepper. Next time I will add green pepper but we enjoyed it and my 18month old daughter loved it too

This is the exact recipe I used and my mother used for years. This is a great standby for those nights a quick, easy meal is needed. Thru the years I have changed it a little by adding 1 sml can of whole tomatoes chopped. I also add spices; garlic, oregano, basil. I use casserole elbows.

Awesome meal. I would probably add a little add about a 1/2 lb. more meat the next time but still an awsome meal. Quick and recession friendly.

I'm giving this 3 stars only because it was just too bland. I not only did it all to the ltr (except for using crush tom instead of tom soup) but I added garlic so you'd think it would at least be as flavorful as the reviewers. I'll try again sometime. It was a disappointment.

I grew up with this stuff and now we jazz it up somewhat but the basics are there. We add pepper strips, mushrooms, fresh or canned tomatoes, garlic, etc. As someone said, it's a great starter. Play with it. And be sure to add freshly grated Parmesan and broil, it makes a yummy crust.

My grandmother used to make this & my husband made fun of me when I told him it was called "American Chop Suey". I am delighted to see it on this website. This recipe is the exact one my mom used to use and I loved it as a kid! However, as an adult I have tweeked it some using Worcheshire sauce, chopped green pepper and It. seasonings while the meat is cooking. Makes for a much more palatable dish!!

Tasty, simple, fast, fun to mess around with - love it! My version ended up with a chili/Mex slant to it. Used rotini instead of mac. Added A1 steak sauce to the meat as it was cooking. I know - weird, but I like it. Also threw in some chili beans. Worried that the dish would still be a little bland, so I added cumin, cayenne, and chili powders to the pot *after* combining the primary ingredients. Then, topped it with jack cheese, put a cover on and let all that cheese melt into the twists and turns of the rotini. Washed it down with some Dos Equis. Great meal~

We grew up eating this too..its a kid favorite and the adults love it! We never included the onions because of picky eaters but the adults would sprinkle with Nature's Seasons brand seasoning. Quick, easy and hearty!

This is a good base. I made this last night and added a touch of garlic and onion powder along with salt and pepper. Unlike some of the other posts though, I would avoid adding too many other spices, otherwise you end up with classic italian meatsauce. To me American Chop Suey is meant to be simple, not bland but not overly spiced either.
