I’m sure all know this is not a hybrid American Asian dish It’s a pasta dish. I believe I’m correct with stating American chop suey is a northeast creation. One thing for sure is that every low income family in the Northeast ate this dish at least twice a month. It’s very economical and intended to be a catch-all for left overs.
This was the first dish I learned to cook as a child, my Mom was an awful cook, her meatless friday tuna casserole in todays world would be seen as child abuse. With some direction from Dad we started stashing away any left over meat from the weeks meals. We looked the other way with scrapping plates before washing, meaning any plate that had meat leftover went into our stash.
My brother and I typically did this chop suey on Sunday, this was not a sleep in day for us, it was a get up early day because Dad was making breakfast of eggs and bacon the only day that happened or those things were in our home. He would ask, did you save the leftover pork chops? We would nod knowing they were tucked away safely in washed and reused aluminum foil. He would then reach into his pocked and dispersed our weekly allowance while the bacon crisped.
These were the worst of times but in retrospect the best of times, the bonding and sharing was something that rarely happens in todays culture, I had no clue I was poor because I was rich with experiences, support and love.
Sorry folks the recipe will have to wait, writing the above put me out of the mood to post ingredients and directions.
I am purposely ignoring the gist of your topic because all I saw after reading it was, Chop Suey and Bacon.
Mmmmm?
Hence putting the two together and the question mark after Mmmm.... and certainly not added into American Chop Suey,
Me neither, which may be why my mind put the two flavors together. But it is why I put the two together with a question mark after the Mmmmm.I've never heard of Chop Suey with bacon.

Is that what you think?Only the rich kids think this way, the one’s that didn’t make every school lunch with government cheese.

That is as interesting as it is wrong.
Chop Suey is a great solution for Hung Chow.
Ignorance and Envy.It took a couple punches before I saw the bigger picture of these posts. I mean, unless the rich kids went home to a lobster lunch or went to school with a lobster or roast beef sandwich, they were pretty much stuck with the rest of us all the day through. Spaghetti mush and find the meat in tomato sauce. Here's my 35 cents on the days my mom can afford it. Or it's a split hot dog, mayo and mustard on Wonder Bread.
Ignorance and Envy.
Still what was said was untrue because it was based on what he assumed how a person thought based on another assumption of their wealth.
I had never heard of bacon in Chop Suey. Sounded good together.
A recipe search confirms it does.
The recipes for pizza have been buried by the chain pizza businesses like Pappa Johns and Dominos like mac n cheese and burger pizzas. Pathetic.
people who eat that garbage couldn't care less what they're being served. this country is full of morons who just eat whatever tastes good right at the moment.
So anyone who eats tasty food is now a moron, are they? What a charming fellow you are. :roll:

I've never heard of the pasta dish. Chop Suey is American to start with, but I guess when I hear it i think of the American-Asian dish, and it's awesome!
