How about beef stew over rice? A nice thick meaty stew... beef with
vegetables (okay, the potatoes are redundent starch) including carrots,
green beans, etc., spooned over cooked rice? YUM! I think I'm going to
make this for dinner tomorrow. Gotta dig out my stew recipe

Being Chinese, I eat rice with everything. Yeah, yeah, I know it's a
stereotype, but so what? Beef stew, chicken and dumplings, you name it.
Even fried chicken, fried fish, pork chops, steak. Only thing I don't
eat rice with is spaghetti. Although I have eaten spaghetti SAUCE on
rice! Oh, and pizza!

Love chili on rice--that's one of the best ways of eating it. Also,
ever have Hoppin John?--basically a very thick black-eyed pea soup
served over rice. Top with chopped red onion, cucumber and tomato (in
balsamic vinegar/olive oil). Yum!!!!!!

Sounds good to me. I like lamb stewed in soy sauce and tomatoes with chunks
of green pepper and onions served over rice. It makes a nice thick gravy.
Yum

Perfectly edible, and I've made it that way on maybe two occasions, was
a way to use up some left over white rice from the Chinese take out.
But given a choice, beef stew over rice or egg noodles is a no brainer,
egg noodles wins every time. In fact beef stew over Chinese crispy
noodles is very good... but over rice, merely edible.

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup made with 1/2 can milk instead of water
1 can of tuna, drained

Mix together and heat. Pour over rice. It's been a fav of mine since
*forever*.

Aloha Jill -

I do not enjoy beef stew or chili unless it is served over rice. I
also top the chili with grated cheddar cheese and chopped onions.

Enjoy!

Well, Jill, when I was in the military some decades ago I spent a
couple years on a ship stationed in Honolulu Harbor. Back then, every
neighborhood cafe served beef stew over rice, along with items like
macaroni salad, sai min, linguica, spam, teriyaki, and every table had
a bottle of catsup *and* soy sauce. I first ran into chili beans and
rice on board that same ship. (As a Californian, I hadn't seen that
before. We used to eat it accompanied by sourdough bread.)

Here we go again, Janet! LOL Years ago a friend of mine defined "goulash"
as very spaghetti sauce with ground beef served over elbow pasta. I called
it Beefaroni. Totally different from what I know to be "goulash" but then
I'm not Hungarian (and neither was she). How funny!

It's sort of funny, I most often serve rice with chicken or fish and I
don't know why. I guess rice is considered "lighter" than potatoes or
something.

My grandmother, who I never met, served chili on rice, so my mother
often did.
This grandmother was from Romania and was a cook at a Montreal
restaurant before moving to the states. I think she just did that so
the meat would go further for her growing family. I have never served
chili this way and haven't had it like that in years, but will have to
try it again. Usually I serve it with tortillas.

Oh, there is that "American goulash", quite different from the original
stew-type dish. My mom used to make a dish called beef noodle
casserole that I loved, with a beefy spaghetti sauce mixed with egg
noodles. I'm sure others here, like Victor, can come up with some good
recipes for the real goulash, and I would love to make it one time.
Although my husband is half Hungarian, he doesn't seem to go for those
types of dishes. I make a pot of stuffed cabbage and end up eating
most of it myself. I get to finish the whole pot of beet soup. I
guess I'm a peasant at heart.

Right. And as Karen? says, there is the American dish goulash. I didn't
know about that one until maybe 5-10 years ago. And since it was explained
to me, I have tweaked it to fit my preferences--and there you go, a new dish
is born to the goulash family tree. ;o}
