Slumgullion

Slumgullion

Years ago when my sister and I were growing up, our father would occasionally preparedinner. He had two “signature” dishes. We either got creamed chipped beef on toast (aka

S.O.S.) or Slumgullion. We did not have a choice but when we knew when he was cooking

dinner we hoped and we prayed that we would get the Slumgullion.

Slumgullion is a warm, beefy, tomato based macaroni noodle stew with humble roots. Many

versions of this dish have been around for seventy five plus years. You may also know this

dish as American Goulash or Slumgull. This version comes from my father who grew up

during the great depression in Omaha, Nebraska. His family did not have much money and

this is what they often served at their dinner table during those rough times. Slumgullion is

amazingly simple, tastes really good, and can be easily made with ingredients you may

already have. I sometimes substitute ground bison for the beef for a leaner dish. Enjoy!Tessa

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef 

1 onion chopped

1 15 ounce can stewed tomatoes

1 15 ounce can tomato sauce

1 8 ounce can tomato paste

2/3 c. tomato ketchup

Thats funny, my mother would make a stew-like substance called slumgullion but I’ve

forgotten the ingredients

Hi Rosemary! My sister has changed the recipe a bit and added kidney beans to it. There are

so many variations out there.

whiz!..Still one of my favourites!
