Let's be Lucy's Sunday dinner

No thank you for Sunday dinner. Maybe for a quick Wednesday night dinner.

Lucy's Sunday dinner was a bottle of scotch and a pack of Pall Malls. As is was every other night of the week.

My Mom made an equivalent of this dish sometimes. She'd add more vegetables, like larger chunks of bell peppers, cabbage, onions, and mushrooms to spread out the meat more. We kids hated it. It would later become Hamburger Helper. My New England partner's Mom made it often. They called it "American Chop Suey".

So, it's like "Ground meat and noodles" with Italian bread-mixed green salad.

It's gross!

Im the vomit on the table next to that bowl of crap

I prefer more vegetables on the side if i'm going to serve pasta and meat mixed together.

Lucy wasn't known for "warmth" or "classic goulash."

And, obviously, the OP doesn't know the meaning of either.

I have sufficient.

I'm Gale Gordon, arriving with his 'nephew' Brucie.

[quote]Ball's goulash was exactly what I hoped it would be: the kind of recipe that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Tell Chef Lucy that my "hug in a bowl" is covered in her cigarette ashes!

After reading this, I had to make American Chop Suey for dinner.

That looks remarkably like a plastic vomit gag gift I had.

I have that menu pinned. Lettuce salad with three choices of bottled dressing. And fruit and cheese for dessert? How boring. Obviously a cocktail and backgammon party. Eating was minimal.

Lucille couldn’t serve a genuine hug, much less in a bowl.

I’m Lucy’s cigarette ashes that fell into the sauce as it was being stirred. People found this Sunday's meal to have a smoky flavor.

Oh shit I just saw r11

I'm the reason why Beano was invented.

I think it’s really sad that she calls this “Sunday night supper for two or twenty”…. meaning she’d serve it to company.

People don’t have to be ostentatious, but she could keep the salad, bread, fruit and cheese from her menu and spring for a better entree.

This actually looks like something I'd enjoy eating........her whole menu.

Same here, R21, what’s not to like?

I'd rather have a good spaghetti

For dessert, I would have liked some chocolate candies that had been warmed in Vivian Vances’s bra during the candy assembly line scene from “I Love Lucy.”
