This was goulash when I was a kid. We sometimes (often) ate it for several meals in a row when we were low on money. I still love it despite that!

This is goulash in our home. I am going to try this in the instant pot. Have made many of your recipes and wow. Delicious!

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside kzfaq.infoUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

Brings back school cafeteria lunch memories.

Growing up my mom made a similar goulash. She made it when we were broke broke. I think she said she could make it for $2.00 and it fed my brother and I. There was enough left over for breakfast. When we were just broke we would put it on buttered bread. It became comfort food to my brother. He continued to make it once a week. Probably out of habit! LOL

Just bought the book and it's fantastic. We've had the Instant Pot for over two years and this is the first time I've used. I've already made two perfect dishes. ... Guy

Hands down my favorite meal they served us when I was in the Army.

I made this last night. My friend said it reminded him of his mom's that had passed. Thanks for recipe it was great.

Thank you for the term 'Goulash'! We had that often in my family growing up. It's a family favorite. I supposed if you weren't raised on it, it might look like a poor man's meal (we were poor, I just didn't know it). I love this dish! =)

Absolutely loved the recipe but just had 1 comment. I received an error message on my IP when I went to cook the meal but I later realized it was due to the sauteing process. I should have made sure to scrape the bottom of the inner pot to make sure nothing was stuck after sauteing the onions and green pepper with the olive oil. This is common to happen (from what I looked up lol). Just wanted to give this little FYI to anyone else if it's there first time sauteing like how it was for me. Other than that the meal was delicious!!

I'm with Richard, I've always called it chili mac, even though it's not chili. My mom used to make this and I've carried on the tradition. Yummy!

I love this stuff and havent made it in about ten years. Im inspired to make it tonight but this time in the instant pot and adding boursin! I was married in 1956 and it was about all i knew how to make. We had to have it with a slice of soft white bread spread with lots of butter. My husband is 91 years old now and his taste buds are ready for old fashioned comfort food. So thanks THIS is it.

Mom made this and it was called Johnny. She would add a tablespoon or two of sugar that cuts the acidity and gives a slight sweetness to it Delish!

Jeffrey, have you ever made Instant Pot yogurt? Then you can make your own Boursin knockoff! Make your yogurt then strain it through a ricotta strainer or a couple of layers of cheesecloth for a few days. Take it out and mix in your choice of herbs and spices. I use garlic, fresh basil and salt and pepper. Then throw it back it back in the fridge for a day. It is slap me silly good!!

I really enjoy watching your cooking shows and I love your recipe and now I have to fix American goulash

Comfort food at its finest 😋

I love when Richard is the taste tester 😂 he's so complimentary, but when he pulls out those "tastes like chili mac", I get so tickled 😂😂😂

Yes!! Johnny Marzetti. I’m from Ohio and my Grandmother made it. I believe it originated from Marzetti’s Restaurant on High St , Columbus Ohio...my home town. 😊

Wow! Made this and loved it! Thanks, Jeff!

EXCELLENT RECIPE - Thanks for sharing! My daughter got an Instant pot for a gift 2 years ago and still has not got in to using it, I think I need to buy your book and give it to her for her next birthday!

I like to put a can of sweet corn in mine. Grew up on this :)

My Mama made this (sans green pepper) plus Cheddar Cheese...no Boursin...she called it “Slumgullion”...yes, that’s actually a word!!! LOVE this stuff!! Thanks for a great memory, Jeffrey!!! ♥️🥰😋

Wonderful day , never heard of this dish, defo on the menu during the week

My mom called this Slumgullion, or just Hamburger Macaroni. Made on the stovetop (no IPots in the 1950s). No matter what it's called...it's good

I watch this over a hundred times * BEST RECIPE ! EVER 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Just made this... so good! I even found the Borsin at my store on sale for $2 off! Bought a couple and will have no trouble using them before the end of mar, ha! Thanks for sharing these recipes. I am not a great cook, so simple, delicious meals I can make will keep me eating well and save me money from eating out all the damn time.

This was called “goulash” in my home growing up. (I’m from Long Island) I haven’t had it in YEARS! I will try it in the IP, with cheese this time!

Definitely making this more often. This was my first meal made in my instant pot. I had it for 4 months now. Made hard boiled eggs but nothing else. I was a little intimidated at first. But after watching you I mustered up the courage and it came out amazing because of you!!! Thank you 😊❤️

Omg it’s amazing!!! Just made it. Followed it to the T! Incredibly delicious

Jeff: "I have my own special surprise twist at the end!" Me, quietly to myself: "Borsin..."

This is my 1st time! Glad that yt recommended you to me!! ^^ indeed that's totally American chop suey lol!! Loves it!! ^^ stay safe and blessed 💕

You're so right about the simple things in life. I think we have all come to appreciate them even more during these trying times. This looks so delicious. My wife uses our instapot 3-4 times a week. She's really good at it, too. She was a chef when we met 35 years ago, so she can REALLY cook. Call me 'Mr. Lucky.'

Making this tonight. I like to add mushrooms too. Usually do it in a pan and boil the pasta, Not this time.

I can't be the only one who giggled and started singing upon seeing the title of this video 😂

I make this so often for the grandkids, it’s to die for👍

Made this tonight. You killed it good sir! Thank you!

Thank you for quick intro explanation. I grew up with this called goulash. Born in Va. Mom, grandmother, great grandma from Maryland.

Oh man, you have no idea how long iv'e been waiting for you to do a goulash recipe. All the instant pot goulash recipes i've tried online usually result in a burn notice. I knew you'd give us a recipe that works!

I've made something like this for years, based on my mom's recipe. Never thought to try it in the instant pot but now....

just tried this recipe. Using my 6 qt Duo, followed the instructions TO THE LETTER. After 12-14 minutes coming up to pressure, got the dreaded BURN notice. Opened it up, deglazed the bottom, and tried again. After about 10 minutes I got the BURN notice again. At this point I said screw it, and dished it up. Thankfully after two periods of attempting to come up to pressure, it was cooked enough, and delicious! Several things: nothing wrong with the pot. Made another dish in it right before trying this recipe, and it worked fine. When I opened it up the first time, I found it to be very thick. Obvious that either the recipe should call for more broth, and/or 1/3 to 1/2 cut back on the noodles. They suck up all the liquid like a sponge.

I have been making this for years but not in the instant pot and we call it macaroni beef and tomatoes. Made it in my instant pot yesterday and came out so good

This recipe is crazy good! I made it this past weekend and everyone loved it. Awesome as usual! My mom and grandma called it American chop suey. I believe the flavor is way better in the instant pot.

I love watching you and my husband loves your recipes.

Damn this was good! Anytime you have your grown son going back for seconds and thirds you know it's good! Thanks!

Just made this tonight for dinner!! Amazing. Thank you!!

I’m glad you felt patriotic. I feel that way every day. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cooked this up for the family this evening. When I had this as a kid, it tended to be a fairly bland tomato sauce and pasta dish. Your recipe has way more flavor. Another winner Jeff!! I went with a couple optional tablespoons of Crystal hot sauce, but didn't add in the optional Boursin cheese. I might try that next time. We have both your cookbooks and love them. Looking forward to the next one.

Looks so yummy and easy. Thank u for sharing it to us all.

Thank you once again. Every time I make one of your crockpot recipes they become instant hits at the house. My youngest is a very finicky eater and he absolutely destroyed his bowl of this American Goulash!

Just made this. It's super delicious even without the cheese. Thank you so much for the recipe!

That's so funny because I was going to make that tonight. I always called it Macaroni & meatsauce or Pasta Bolognese. But I like the name American Chop Suey, very patriotic! I will use this recipe so I can make it in my Instant Pot---looks so much easier than the traditional way!!!🤗Thank you, Jeffrey!💖

My nanny/grandma made this for us all the time and she called it chop suey. Oh the memories!

Thank you for sharing, Jeff. I have yet to try Boursin. My family and I love Goulash, as we call it.

I've been making a variation of my mom's John Marzetti for years only we baked it using egg noodles and lots and lots of cheese. That name is all we've ever called it. We're from Michigan. Now I want to make some!

Great recipe! Looks yum! Happy belated 60th, Richard!

Great meal to make ahead and freeze for our RV trips.

Growing up we always called this beef-a-roni. I guess this has many many many names....well, whatever you want to call it, it's just good ol comfort food. Yummy!!!

You can also do it the easier way...cooked macaroni, a jar of spaghetti sauce and some hamburger. Sometimes I'd add extra onions when cooking the meat. I'd cook the pasta in the pan then after draining I'd put the cooked pasta in the leftover bowl I was going to use to store it then cooked the rest in the same pan I cooked the pasta. When the sauce is done I'd gradually add the pasta in the sauce (I almost always cooked too much}. Make sure to have some Italian or garlic bread on the side. I live in Florida and my parents lived in a mobile home so during hurricane season I always made sure to have all the stuff to make a double batch in case they would have to evacuate to my place.

Guess my family was the weird one. My Dad, born in 1930 in upstate NY called it slumgull. Short for slumgullion. No idea where that one came from. But we all loved it. 💜

American Chop Suey is made with stir fried chicken or pork, celery, onion and bean sprouts in a thickened chicken broth, served over rice, then garnished with the dry rice noodles. Good try, tho'! Just so happens I've been trying to make something like your recipe for months and have had no luck, so I am going to have to make this "Beefaroni".... it looks like just what I've been hungry for. Thanks!

This is really quite close to chili mac, it's the dry seasonings that are different. I like kidney beans in mine for the extra nutrition. I can appreciate that people's lack of time developed their love for these pressure cookers, but, for me, slow cooking allows me to build up an appetite and makes the house smell fabulous for hours.

I 💕Beefaroni, thanks for sharing and give Banjo a hug from me as well.

I don't use the peppers or crushed tomatoes. i use whole or diced ones bc i like to taste the tomatoes. don't use tomato sauce but i do use beef broth in my IP. its so easily done in there.

My mom used to make this when I was a kid! I'm so excited to see this. Definitely on the menu this week!

Love American Chop Suey! Can’t wait to try your recipe 😁 Also it’s a perfect one serving for me .... yeah I said ... One ....Serving ...🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😁😁😁😁😁😁

Made this tonight. I added red bell pepper and it was one of the tastiest things I've made in the instant pot. And of course I used the boursin. Freaking fantastic thank you so much!

Growing up, this was goulash. Loved it! Of course later in life I found out what real goulash was but that didn't matter. Hehehe...

Yes put that one in the next book. Love watching you.

I would love to see you in your "Little Edie" outfit waving your American Flag! That is one of my favorite movies!

My kids absolutely LOVE this recipe. I am making it again today for the 3rd time this week. It's simple, easy and so delicious!

Great Love it yes yum

Just tried your recipe. The flavor is absolutely amazing. Bravo brotha.

you cracked me up with the little edie line! i was out of power for last week and out of boredom i started talking like her. needless to say, i got stuck on little edie for a couple of days! lol. i wasn't sure if my husband was gonna leave me or not-lol! love you bunches!~ LuAnn

I can't wait to make it. Thank You

I’m going to try this. Look’s delicious!!! Thank you for sharing!! Have a good one. 🧄🧅🥩🧀🍷🍽

Iam going to try this! I tried your split pea soup and mhmm! It's one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing.

Making this tomorrow thank you!

I agree with Breezy, my family called it goulash. No matter what you call it,it's delicious and very addictive. Don't forget to add bbq sauce with the tomato products and add some thyme with the seasonings. Yummola!!

😋🤤 thnx for sharing love ur recipes

I am getting addicted to Boursin cheese! It adds so much creamy flavor! Great recipe!

I never heard the name ‘American chop suey’, but this looks like what Hamburger Helper probably aspired to be? I can’t wait to try your recipe!

Me: "Jeffrey said Boursin!" Everyone: (takes a drink) 😁😅😅😂😅😉

I have learned more from you in ten minutes on how to use my Instant Pot, then I did in months. The Pot intimidated me until I found your channel. I add a pinch of chili sauce and we, like Richard, call it Chili Mac. Yum.

I made this. So good!

For a second there I thought there was no Boursin in this one. Don’t scare me like that. Looks delish!! 😁

I adore this recipe. For special crowds, I sub one cup of the broth with red wine.

Ughh this looks so yummy!! I have everything in the house besides a pepper. Might make it without, it will still be yummy! Perfect meal for thesr cold winter days!❤

holey moley this video is great. your american chop suey look very delicious!

We need more combined instapot and the air fryer recipes I'd buy that book

TYFS looks delicious! Thanks for helping me out with my dinner dilemma tonight 😉😷

I was so scared to make this because when you said 5 minutes to cook and quick release I just KNEW the noodles were going to be soggy but it came out AMAZING!!!!!

Thanks Jeff.. this one is definitely getting made! :) I've been busy with your cookbook as well.. so many wonderful things to make and so little room in my stomach... lol

I've wanted to make this since you posted this and did finally tonight. OMG It was delish! I didn't have high expectations at first but since everything you have tastes great I tried it. This will be a family dinner in rotation for sure. I did use canned San Marzano peeled tomatoes and crushed them with my hands for the crushed part. Nothing like those boxed meals at all.

I am going to keep following you💜💜 You’re a good teacher thank you again

Excellent my dude! Keep'em comin! That shrimp boil is the best EVA!

Richard is a cutie. I think he really liked the Chop Suey! I’ll make it for sure. Looked delicious

Just sitting around the kitchen waiting for your third book...I hope this IS on the book!!!

Don’t remember what we called it but we had it often growing up. Nutmeg is a nice addition. On the stove now…

Thanks for this recipe! Just made it today and it was great!

Golosh was our name for it!
