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.

My dad probably won it playing bingo. We got a lot of kitchen stuff that way...juicer, moula machine
On page 291 is the recipe below. My wife makes this dish frequently. The crunchy celery is essential.
---------------------------------------------------- "Family Goulash This hearty goulash, a crisp salad of greens, and, for dessert, Apple Crisp (page 177) - a winning menu for a chilly evening. 4 ounces fine noodles 1 pound ground beef 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup) 2 cups of sliced celery 1/2 cup catsup 1 jar (2 1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) tomatoes 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Cook noodles as directed on page 224 except - use half the amounts of water and salt. While noodles cook, cook and stir ground beef and onion in large skillet until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in drained noodles, celery, catsup, mushrooms (with liquid), tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cover; Simmer 30 to 45 minutes. 4 servings" ----------------------------------------------------
Same here, but it was always swilling in tomato sauce. We still have accept sometimes. I like it with garlic bread.
Used to have a vegetarian roommate. He made a couple of signature dishes; Vegetarian Egg Mash, and Noodle Crap and Poo.
Plenty of tomatoes for our goulash.
My parents were amazingly patient.
I was always the rabble rouser. Mom sent me to charm school. It didn't help.
Oh, I dunno, your posts are simply charming.

I finally had real “goulash” in Budapest, it was not like the one Mom made.
