“I made this last night and was delicious! Made it for my picky eater who is from New England and refers to this as American Chop Suey. These were the variations I made. 1lb ground beef, 1 can beef broth plus slightly more than 1/2 can water. 29 oz, can cru” — a cook, 5.0★
“Made this tonight for the first time. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Only made half the recipe since there is only 2 of us. I did change up a couple things because I had to ingredients on hand… 1. I used mild Italian sausage instead of hamburger. 2. I used beef broth ” — a cook, 5.0★
