the formatting of your image is so enraging I'm not even going to adress your shit

>>10565939
Spaghetti?

My family calls it chopsuey

>>10565956
Would little arrows help? Are you an executive of some kind, by any chance?

we call this Puke Hole Porridge where I'm from

Arguably the best MRE.

>>10565939
Looks really good.

This is some reddit tier trash. Please murder your child and then yourself immediately.

>"American Goulash" I'd forgotten about this dish for a few decades and made it as a laugh. And my kid thought it was great and has asked for it often since then. It's so generic I don't think it had a name when I was growing up.
It was a thing when I was a child, but my mom never made it. We were a little more refined than the hamburger helper kind of things, but best friend's mom made it and called it "jamaican goulash." Despite having no chili in it, it's also called "chili mac." I have also heard chop suey. Mom mom did by the lachoy veggies and crunchy toppings and make hamburger "chop suey" that way, but not with pasta, just a side of rice. My Miami elementary cafeteria manned by southern black lady cooks, who actually got veggies from the local farms, and who made everything from scratch, from collards to soft dinner rolls, made it in a big casserole topped by about 3/4in of that mealy but rich government cheddar melted on top and it was quite popular with the kiddos, like almost their favorite day if it was on the menu (the big giant hawaiian style rolls were so good too).

Having just made a huge pot of dirty rice, I will say that this kind of thing freezes well and for myself, brings back some comfort food memories.
When making something like this, buy the leanest sirloin, 7-10% if you can. No oil in pan, just better for your overall texture to the veggies cooked along with it. Try making it with sliced stewed tomatoes as well as dicing your own whole (canned) tomatoes, for different textures.

>Spaghetti?
Not at all. There's no italian herbs here. It's got the clean rich canned tomato flavors of stewed tomatoes that are almost barely cooked, a tartness and firmness with each bite, maybe a hint of celery or garlic or bay leaf depending on recipe, but no basil or oregano. You'll find crazy recipes that include worchestershire or soy sauces, sometimes. Anyone who italianizes dunnos what they are doing.

>>10565939
What a fucking nightmare.

>>10565939
Whoever made this needs to be burned alive in an oil drum in front of a cheering stadium

>putting tomatoes in a cast iron
Out of everything wrong with this that upset me the most.

>>10565939
We always called this Liquid Feces around here

>>10566490
is there something wrong w/ tomatoes and cast iron? I made spaghetti the other day and avoided using the cast iron because I didn't want spaghetti taste to stick to it. But is there an actual reason to not use it?

>>10566814
Just a bit of rust. Don't worry about it.

>>10566814
Makes chlorine gas

>>10566490
No biggie if you properly wash it afterwards, and don't try to meme others into having rancid fat/oil that sits in their pan. So afraid of soap. pam exists if you don't want your food to stick

>>10566825
kk

>>10566826
don't you mean mustard gas?

Wtf am I supposed to read this like a manga or something? I'm having a stroke trying to figure out the order

This so much. Why the fuck wouldn't you sort your images so that we know what order you cooked the stuff in? I can't believe how retarded some people on this board actually are.

are you guys retarded? it goes top left down, then top right down. it's not that confusing

>>10565939

WTF, OP?! I made this and it came out like shit!

> drain

that's just lazy ass ragù

I've always known Goulash as beef, seasonings/aromatics, and vegetable soup served on top of mashed potatoes. What is this dish called then?

>>10565968
Murican Chop Suey

>>10565939
>"American Goulash"

>>10565939
ah, a true depression food right down to a cavalierly ethnic name

>>10565939
good for weightlifting. simple to make, good or decent macros, easy to count calories, tasty.

I haven't had this since pre-school
mostly because I never learned the real name. They always called it "chop suey" at the school, and I (for obvious reasons) could never track a recipe down for it

>TOMATOES EAT NOW

>>10565939
>"brown"
>meat is barely gray and mostly pink
Yep, that's the Midwest cooking I know. People here have never heard of not crowding the fuck out of the pan when they sear meat. I think they hate flavor.

>>10568304
It's like the classic American spaghetti with meat sauce, but with macaroni noodles and no seasoning. It's awful.

>>10566053
yes, if it had some little arrows it would be perfect

Goulash for my family was always ground beef, tomatoes, macaroni, and whatever cans of vegetables we had. Corn, green beans, etc.

>>10565939
That's American Chop Suey. American Goulash doesn't have peppers and onions.

not a real MRE

>>10570779
You mean unlike their populace? :-)

>>10570811
Definitely a real MRE, have you ever even been enlisted

>>10570811
>>10571832
In addition because I'm not trying to come off as an asshole,
anon they change the font all the time, shit my first two years in I saw like nine different packages

>>10570811
That is a real mre dumbshit. Do you even steve?

>>10566110
You tried the new ones, the elbow macaroni in tomato sauce and the hash brown? Both are pretty gud

>>10566110
>chili and macaroni
So chili mac? Chili mac is good especially when I'm hungry as fuck and too apathetic to do anything other than boil noodles.

>>10566110
I'm partial to the southwest beef black beans MRE. The ratatouille entree might be my favorite individual meal.

>>10565939
>That image.
This is not Goulash.
How can you afford peppers?!
It's meat, corn perhaps some onions and tomato sauce, in the cheapest cans you can get, best if found at a food bank.
And blended into elbow macaroni.
And only faggots drain that shit, you are poor, you can't afford to drain that shit.

The retard just did it in columns. It goes vertically.

By the way op I want to say you are a stupid piece of shit and I fear for your children.

>>10566447
How do you make your dirty rice? I was given a twenty pound bag of medium grain white rice and I wanna figure out what the hell to do with it.

>>10567753
You type like a fag and your shit's all retarded.
