Hers was unique from everything I read. It was made with hamburger onions and celery but she served it over rice and the noodles were the thin Chinese version. It seems most of the online receipes use elbow noodles. My mother made something she called American Chop Suey and it was my favorite dish. Hers was unique from everything I read.

Obviously your Nuval upgrades have nothing to do with "sewage" Its origins are as mysterious as the dish itself is guileless. According to a favored bit of lore, chop suey is a mispronounciation of "chopped sewage," an angered Chinese cook having mixed together the day's garbage in a bit of broth and presented it to San Francisco restaurant patrons who'd earned his ire. Not knowing any better, those being insulted loved the dish, and much to the amused bewilderment of their tormentors, returned time and again to order it. I just looked this up…….ewwwww.
