From the way it looked, what Ann Harding made was not Slumgullion (which has macaroni, ground beef and stewed tomatoes) but regular Irish stew, which admittedly you would expect from the two of them being Irish.
shareI was glad that Jim called it "stew."
I think the name is just a catchall kind of name for stew. If you google it you get lots of variations. Many families probably had their own favorite way of fixing it depending on their individual tastes and maybe what they had on hand. I don't get the impression there's one standard recipe for if.
Is that what I started making on my own out of frustration with a stagnant, strangling economy, little money to work with feeding two adults and two children under three, and under a dollar a meal to work with back in the early 80's?? I didn't know it had such an aristocratic name as "Slumgullion!" We just always called it "Kokomo Casserole!" Hamburger, macaroni and cheese in a .19 box, and a .29 can of stewed tomatoes. Add one canned veggie of choice, and dinner is served!
shareI wrote down the name during the movie and had to google it just a few minutes ago. It looks tasty, easy and cheap, which is what I like. As mentioned above there isn't a dyed-in-the-wool recipe. Beefaroni soup?
shareruggles enjoyment of it, made me able to smell it. yum.

I wouldn't know but I never heard of slumgullion before and now I'm going to make it! It'll be my first stew.
