We didn’t really have a name for it growing up, I think my mom might have called it goulash, but it was probably just Hamburger Helper.
But now we call it “Tim’s Memorial Dinner” after my sister’s ex-husband. It was the only thing he knew how to cook, it’s basically browned hamburger & onion, and you make Kraft Mac & Cheese and dump that all in with canned tomatoes (or Rotelle) and some spices. It’s actually pretty tasty.
My daughter-in-law calls it American Chop Suey, she was raised up in New England.
Blessing’s on your family :)
