Introduction
This is a lower sodium recipe, if you are not worried about salt, add an envelope of onion soup mix (or 4 bullion cubes) when you put everything in the crockpot.This can use any protein you want (I used shrimp), OR go totally vegetarian, use tofu if you want.
If using raw meat. cut it in bite sized pieces and put it in the bottom of the crockpot, then put veggies on top. I used raw shrimp and did not want to over cook them, so I added the shrimp one hour before I was going to serve the chop suey. If you are using pre-cooked (leftover meat), add to the crockpot one hour before serving time.
I used corn starch to thicken the "gravy" (1 TBSP to 1 cup of water), but you do NOT have to do this step (cornstarch is factored into the nutritional totals).
Serve over rice or chop suey noodles....(not factored into nutritional counts).

2 TBSP molasses
1/2 Cup low sodium soy sauce

Tips
I like adding fresh chopped ginger to this recipe (couple of tablespoons full), but traditional chop suey doesn't use spicy ingredients.
