You could call Slumgullion the dinner that goes by many names. You might know it as American goulash, or American Chop Suey, or maybe even Johnny Marzetti or Beefaroni. But no matter what you call it, you can know this — it’s comforting, stick-to-your-ribs stuff. An American comfort food institution, you see it a lot in the Midwest and South, and you see it made many different ways. Truly a “whatever you have on hand” dish, you’ll see different vegetables, spices, and cheeses used but you’ll always see three foundational things included — ground beef, macaroni, and tomatoes.
