Notes
Drain the grease: If there is a lot of grease in the pan after browning the meat, drain it off.
Get creative: Any kind of ground meat works, as well as any vegetables and pasta type, so don't be afraid to experiment!
Spice things up: Some home cooks like to add hot sauce to their American chop suey. If you aren't sure everyone will like this kick of spice, it might be best to offer hot sauce at the table so people can decide if they add some.
