How To Make american chop suey

  • 1
    Dice the onion and green peppers..not super fine just small chunks. Place butter in a pot and brown ground beef til cooked thru. Add the diced onions/peppers and continue to cook til they start to soften. Add tomatoes and seasonings...taste at this point to adjust seasonings to your liking. Let simmer 1-1 1/2 hours on low heat. *Or you can do all day in crock pot!* Just brown the meat/veggies then throw all in crock pot and cook on low 5 hrs.
