American chop suey is an American pasta casserole made with ground beef, macaroni and a seasoned tomato sauce,[1] found in the cuisine of New England and other regions of the United States.[2][3][4] Outside New England it is sometimes called American goulash or Johnny Marzetti, among other names.[5] Despite its name, it has only a very distant relation to the chop suey of Chinese and American Chinese cuisine.[4]

Though this comfort food is influenced by Italian-American cuisine as well as older New England quick and practical meals like the "potato bargain" and "necessity mess," it is known as "American chop suey" both because it is a sometimes-haphazard hodgepodge of meat, vegetables and Italian seasonings,[6] and because it once used rice, a base ingredient in Chinese cuisine, instead of pasta.[4]

Standard American chop suey consists of elbow macaroni and bits of cooked ground beef with sautéed onions in a thick tomato-based sauce.[7] The dish can be served on a plate or in a bowl, usually accompanied by bread and often Worcestershire sauce.
