My mother was a terrible cook and most meals were the recipe from hell.

Her version of Americal Chop Suey was: 1 lb of the cheapest, greasiest hamburger money can buy, a chopped large yellow onion and.....canned spagetti. If Chef Boyardee was on sale, so be it, but usually we got the store brand which is usually much worse if that's possible. The key to the entire meal is to make sure that somehow everything is overdone, yet the whole mess is still cold in the middle.
