I plead guilty to having not heard of this. Â I mean, I think when I was a kid we ate that La Choy brand chop suey. Â But American chop suey? Â We've talked about this a little bit on the e-newsletter the past few days (sign up if you aren't on it!) and it appears to be mainly a New England tradition?
I found this recipe in the Lancaster County Amish cookbook I recently got my hands on, I've never seen the recipe in any other Amish recipe books. Â The Amish cook who submitted it said it had been a favorite in her family for years and that it serves 12. So, here it is:
