Clara's Ground Beef Chop Suey

"This was my mother's (Clara) recipe. I have no idea where she got it but this was a staple at our house for years. All of us children (5) have tried to make this recipe taste like hers. We can come close but it never tastes as good as when she made it. Maybe it was the love. She died at the age of 86 and I'm posting this recipe in her memory."

  1. YUMMY!!!! i ended up making ALOT! I was only able to find a LARGE can of bean sprouts so i just added extra everything......Everyone in the house loved it and the leftovers were ever better :) I liked that it did take ALL that long to make and it was pretty affordable!
     
  2. I kinda messed this up. You know how it is, you get home from work, you are trying to cook and do laundry and talk to the kids. So I got to the part where I was adding everything together and I added 2 cups of water AGAIN...but it turned out really great anyway! The girls loved it....son thought the bean sprouts were weird and wouldnt eat it but he is picky. Leftovers were great too. Thanks!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Born in Aroostook County, Maine. Have lived in New York City, Lake Placid, NY, San Diego, CA, St. Petersburg, FL, Santa Rosa, CA and am now living in Tucson, AZ. I am now retired and love to crochet. I'm always looking for new, easy recipes. My favorite cookbook is the Internet, especially Recipezaar. One of my pet peeves? People who don't run a spell check on items they have submitted or just don't edit their items. My grandson just returned from Afghanistan after having been there for a year. He also spent a year in Iraq. I'm very proud of my handsome grandson and my 2 beautiful great-granddaughters.
