Summary
- Wyatt Russell revealed his mom Goldie Hawn's 'American chop' is his favorite.
- He described the dish as a simple, homemade Hamburger Helper with ground beef and noodles.
- Russell recently made the nostalgic meal for his own young son.

Wyatt Russell fondly recalls his mother Goldie Hawn's "American chop" as a cherished childhood favorite. He describes the simple one-pot meal as a homemade version of Hamburger Helper, comprising ground beef, noodles, carrots, celery, peas, and tomatoes. Kurt Russell highlighted Hawn's overall culinary prowess, but it's this "basic" yet delicious dish that particularly resonates with his son.
This nostalgic dish has brought joy to a new generation, as Wyatt recently made it for his 5-year-old son, Buddy. The family's neighbor's daughter also enjoyed the "American chop" when served. While sometimes called American goulash, the dish is distinct from its Hungarian namesake.
"American chop suey," as Kurt Russell clarified it's also known, offers a fast and economical meal solution for families. Its preparation involves ground beef, onions, tomatoes, elbow macaroni, and simple spices, easily adaptable with vegetables like carrots, celery, and peas for a "Goldie-style" variation.
