Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

I repurposed some of that failed vegan corned beef into American chop suey. I still have a bit left, so I might try doctoring it up in the frying pan and making a sandwich of some sort for tomorrow.

How did you make it?
I mixed vegan mayo with minced onion, lots of pickle relish, chopped celery then added a block of extra firm tofu I squeezed the water out of and crumbled with my hands. I add black salt at serving as I find the taste goes away if it sits. I never liked egg salad, but I've had it, and this was how I remember it, but better with tofu

I'm making a lentil kofta and adding mashed sweet potato. I've made this a lot without the sweet potato. I change the seasoning to my taste- add a good bit of chili garlic sauce and miso
 
such a delicious dinner last night, if I say so myself, 🙄 , I boiled up a number of yellow potatoes and 2 sweet potatoes, let them cool a bit and then put them in the air fryer, plain, and about 1/2 to 1 inch chunks - then steamed some brussel sprouts and made a Colman's mustard mixture to put on them and then had Yves Chkn chunks done in the oven and some sweet chili sauce on them - wow so good - the sweet potato was especially tasty and all I put on them was malt vinegar and ketchup - have lots of leftover yellow potatoes too so maybe bean soup on Good Friday

I'll be having leftover American chop suey and maybe a slice of homemade bread with vegan butter.

what makes it American as opposed to just chop suey?

I think it's the pasta and ground beef, as opposed to rice and veggies for typical chop suey. Some people call American chop suey "goulash. " American chop suey, at least my version, is made with diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, onions, garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, a pinch of salt, plant protein and pasta (I used rotini this time, but I usually use elbow macaroni).

oh wow, thanks for the clarification, I have never heard it called that - I am familiar with the actual meal and am trying to think what we call it here, I would call it delicious and a great pasta meal - maybe homemade hamburger helper meal? I asked my honey and he said he used to call it Macaroni Surprise when he made it for his kids

last night I made Pinto Bean bean dip (in the oven) with 1.5 cans of pinto beans, onion, jalapeno, bell pepper, sliced olives, cherry tomatoes, salsa, spices and instead of cheez shreds on top I drizzled tahini and scooped it up with tortilla chips

I had a very late lunch of sourdough toast with vegan butter and I made some spicy air fried tofu so I don't know what to have later.

A black bean burger with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, banana pepper rings and mustard on toasted homemade bread; a side of air-fried potato wedges. Mint dark chocolate for dessert

I grew up with that as goulash, and chop suey was chow mein with rice instead of crispy noodles

I can't decide what I want. I should eat the rest of the American chop suey, but I'm not feeling it. I could freeze it and have something else. On the other hand, I'm doing all kinds of cooking today, so something quick like that would be good. I'll probably end up having the chop suey, lol.
