LOW CARB AMERICAN CHOP SUEY

This is my Mom’s recipe and we grew up on this as a meal that we had just about weekly.  It's inexpensive, easy and quick. Its my husband's favorite and he nicknamed it goup! However, I have created a variation and used cauliflower florets in place of the pasta for a low carb option.
