My uncle referred to this dish aboard ship during WWII. All they ate for 2 weeks until they got to England for stores. Seems like they were clearing out the galley until more food arrived. Like all of us the day before shopping!

My mama made slumgullion with can of corned beef, tomatoes, chopped onions. When it was done she made rice and that's what was for dinner! She was raised during the depression so maybe they couldn't afford hamburger so her mama used corned beef. I just know it was good and we fought over the leftovers when there was any.

My mom often made this in MO but didn't use beef bouillon. Cottage cheese is great on the side along with bread & butter to make "slumgullion sandwiches". Yum!!

Wow! I've never heard of slumgullion outside of my family! My mom made this with pretty much whatever she had on hand. She could scale it up or down for our big family, add whatever herbs she had on hand, use ground whatever for the meat, use any pasta or even rice - it was the infinitely convertible meal for any number of people. Delicious, no matter what. Quick, simple, easy - and cheap!

Mmmmm; very nice. Sounds a little like a version of American Chop Suey, although that uses rice or broken-up spaghetti and has less in the way of vegetables (at least my mother's and grandmother's did). I heard slumgullion mentioned in a movie, "It Happened on Fifth Avenue" (1947). My wife makes the meat/onion/tomato part of it (adding mushrooms); she calls it "mixture", and others a little older in her family call it "Scotch chopped meat".

Wow, I haven't made this for awhile but my Mom introduced when we were kids, 55 yrs ago! Still good!

I grew up on Slumgullion. My grandmother was an awesome cook who could throw things in a pot and never have leftovers. In her Slumgullion she used stewed tomatoes instead of the whole peeled and never used the beef bouillon or stock and she used dried herbs, to taste. I made this recently for my husband who was raised on a farm but has never had Slumgullion. He says they didn't eat pasta, just potatoes and rice....so I made it with rice. He loved it.

I just make this recipe tonight but I used turkey and not beef it is so (delicious) me and my 6 sons love it.

This is about as close to the one my grandmother passed down my mother. The only difference is in the use of 1 can of condensed tomato soup in place of the tomato sauce. It works much better with the Worcestershire sauce - imo. And Chili powder to replace the red pepper flakes. Kids love it!

oh how i remember this from my mom, I haven't made it in years, my kids loved it too. why I remembered the name today is still a mystery, wondered if that was correct & entered it into the net, "volla" it was. thanks. having it for dinner!

My mother used to make this recipe. She would toss in any leftovers to complete the pot. Was always great.

Great flavors!

This recipe takes me back to a time when a fellow Army Wife shared it with me during our stay in Korea. It became a mainstay in our meals. Delicious!!
