RE: My entry into the @phctop3 Monthly Contest - Top 3 Comfort Foods

in #creativecoin5 years ago

All real comfort foods here in our home as well @traciyork;) You had me a tad puzzled with the American Chop Suey, never heard of that before although here at home we call it Noodle Bolognese; interesting hearing about the origin of Chinese Chop Suey! I also realized I don't make Mac & Cheese often enough when hubby ordered a double portion off the kiddies menu at our local steakhouse one cold winter's night ;) I'm interested in your Mom's Chicken curry made with canned Mushroom soup; nothing wrong with using a can or a packet of soup to add a little zest to a quick meal;)

Some things are universal, eh @lizelle? 😊 I've heard of Noodle Bolognese before, but I believe it's a bit different from the American Chop Suey - the one in the picture above (because I've made a few variations) has ground turkey, green pepper, onion, spaghetti sauce, elbows, and seasonings. And too funny about your hubby!

The basic curry recipe is chicken, curry powder, family sized can of cream of mushroom soup, one container of sour cream, and a can of peas. I cook the chicken in a tablespoon or two of the curry powder, and when it's cooked through add the soup, sour cream, peas, and four or five tablespoons of curry powder (sometimes with a 1/4 teaspoon of cumin) then heat it through in the oven. I serve it over jasmine rice, and we've sometimes made sandwiches from the leftovers. And I agree - while "from scratch" is awesome, some times convenience works best.
