Hamburger Chop Suey Recipe

Many Years went by before I had the chance to taste or try a Chinese Chop Suey dish. I think it was mainly because of the area we lived in. There were no Chinese restaurants;-heck, there wasn’t even a Burger King around until I started growing up a little bit. Anyway, this Hamburger Chop Suey Recipe was the only form of Chop Suey I knew of at the time. It has been a staple for our family for many years. This is a simple recipe incorporating many of the ingredients from the store, such as the Chop Suey vegetables. It is fairly quick to put together and requires very little prep time. I used roasted almond slivers for a garnish on this dish, but if you don’t care for that idea, Chinese noodles also work out very well.
