PORTLAND, Maine — Bo Byrne is a chef and culinary instructor at Southern Maine Community College . He’s been in the 207 kitchen before, and this time we had a different idea: come up with some dishes that come together quickly after work but are also good meals for the whole family.

He did exactly that with his American chop suey goulash. It can all be made in one pot, making for less cleanup, and can be done in about 30 minutes.
