Goulash, American chop suey, slumgullion — whatever you call it, this meaty, comforting dish is just the thing to warm up with on a cold winter night! But when one person on Twitter posted a picture of the dish she grew up calling slumgillion, also known as slumgullion, many users were divided over what exactly the right name is for this winter classic.
"What do you call this?" posited @SandySue1958 on Sunday. "Growing up, my mother called it slumgillion."
Slumgullion is known as a cheap stew made from leftovers, but not everyone was in agreement. In fact, the responses to the picture of a beefy casserole-type dish containing macaroni were extremely divisive.
"Wow, you must have been rich!" commented one person. "Our slumgullion did NOT have macaroni. We called this beefaroni."
"Same," posted another person. "Beef-a-Roni (west coast)," she added, pointing to the fact that the dish's different names might be attributed to regional differences.
Many others thought the pictured showed a dish known as American chop suey.
"American Chop Suey?" offered one commenter.
"American chop suey," agreed another Twitter user. "My dad used to make it all the time. He used a can of condensed tomato soup, diced tomatoes and green peppers along with ground beef.
Other foodies had an entirely different opinion.
"Goulash," responded another person.

That's what we would have called it.
maybe THIS is chili. I hear some people serve chili (with beans) over spaghetti
I’ll eat just about anything that someone else cooks for me.
Funeral casserole.
That’s what my beloved, late mom-in-law called this dish, the one she’d deliver to bereaved friends and relatives.
Is Your “Cowboy Stew” made with Real Cowboys ?😁
May I have some more please (with British accent)?
I remember this dish. It was served once a week in our school cafeteria. Long Beach, California circa 1950’s, and 60’s.
It was called “Neapolitan Macaroni” by the cafeteria people. I didn’t much care actually what it was called it was power eating. I don’t recall what they served with it. Some vegetable, or salad. We didn’t have the basil, or whatever the green stuff was. Great stuff!
Cincinnati and Steak ‘n Shake do that with chili.
Nope, not chili. I’d eat good chili over spaghetti, I think. I like it over rice to stretch it out.
we called this goulosh
I’m originally from Pittsburgh...Polish family and we called it goulosh
I agree. Real Hungarian goulash looks nothing like this.
Hamburger mac
My mother called it Goulash. If she put cheese in it it became Noodleburger.
My brother called it Idiot’s Delight. But he ate it.
Chili Mac
I was always told it was Hungarian goulash, even though we dropped the Hungarian label. It's a favorite of our family.
Hamburger, stewed tomatoes, onions and spices plus shell macaroni.
It look like one of the many variations of “What the hell is this shit stew”, also known as “Empty the Fridge Casserole”.
