      I gave a brand spankin" new volume of Betty Crocker ring bound cookbook to my son when he got his first apartment at age 19. I asked later on which recipes he'd made. He said money for groceries was tight but he liked to look at the food pictures, read the ingredients lists and imagine eating the meals. Awww. LOL
      He's a great cook, married and 37 now😊

    My mom made this but she added the mushroom juice to the ground beef/onion/flour mixture and let it simmer, then added the mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. We always had it over mashed potatoes with corn. My dad liked his leftover over buttered toast. 😋

    You were correct about the canned mushrooms. I didn't even see a fresh mushroom until I was an adult. It's no wonder why so many people my age dislike mushrooms so much.

      I remember growing up I thought I didn’t like rice, because my mom always used minute rice! 🤮
      When I grew up and had real rice, I realized it was good!
      I still don’t understand minute rice. It’s not any easier to make, it’s just a few minutes faster. Why not make real rice? Once you get the rice in the pot or the rice cooker, you don’t have to do anything but wait until it’s done!

      I don't rememeber there being a lot of fresh moushrooms around until the early 1990's. Produce departments used to be much smaller and much more limited. You might have 2 kinds of lettuce at most stores. It was very basic.

    This is one of my favorite Betty Crocker cookbooks. My cousin gifted me a later version as a new brids in 1980. The menus and time tables were helpful. We had many favorite recipes from this book. Thank you for bringing back some of my fondest memories. I am a widow now and your video made me smile, remembeting some of my favorite dinners with my husband. When we became parents, these recipes became family favorites. One of them was Tamale Pie.

    Oh My, Betty Crocker 😬. My mother made meals from the 1970s Betty Crocker cookbook when I was growing up and the meals were not good. Oh the memories 😂. But seriously, it took me decades to eat meatloaf again.
    If you are looking for a vintage cookbook, I highly recommend McCalls cooking school cookbooks . I learned to cook with McCalls because it had step by step instructions ( before internet) and my first meal I cooked was the beef stew with parsley dumplings , so tasty. My all time favorites are the ultimate cheesecake ( a true classic NY cheesecake) , coconut-cream cake with lemon and lime filling, chicken breasts with artichokes, perfect pot roast, manicotti and many more-to many to list.

  • @eathomelive

    I've been struggling with timing for 38 years, and am a very accomplished cook. Sometimes, I enjoy cooking and the process so much that I think I lollygag.
    I make hamburger stroganoff for fun occasionally, and I use fresh mushrooms, red bell pepper, onion, fresh garlic, mushroom soup, beef broth, and heavy cream, plus lots of salt and pepper. It's so good.

    when I was younger - lol now I am 64 - we ate this dish. We used cream of mushroom soup. There were a lot of can of soup recipe tiny books. Fanny Farmer was also a cook book was popular in the 70's and early 80's, Martha Stewart, Betty Crocker of course and so many more. many times the aisle at the grocery store would have small cooking booklets from cook book companies. Moosewood was a vegetarian restaurant that had a cookbook. (and many more). My favorite is still the church cookbooks.

    Hi Anna. When you pulled out the book, I ran to my dining room because I knew I had that book. Turns out it's a First Edition, First Printing, copyright 1958, the year before I was born. 😊 It's a bit smaller than the one you have, it's about 5 x 7 size. The letter from Betty is similar. And it has some very cute illustrations as well. It has the hamburger stroganoff recipe too and it's the exact same as the recipe you made. I got this from my mom's collection after she passed. I'm pretty sure it was my grandmother's before that.

    This is the recipe I learned aged 7 in 1974. I do a much more grown up version now. I used to feed anywhere from 2 to 8 people, depending which parent I was staying with…it was one of my signature dishes😂 The other was a lasagna with cottage cheese and frozen spinach. I learned how to figure out ratio early and was really good at not having leftovers. 🌈🌈🦋🦋

    My mother received this as a wedding gift when she married my father in 1966. She always said it was her favorite cookbook in those early years. Now I have her copy complete with notes, so fun to look through. They also received some of those electric warming trays. They lived in that cupboard above the fridge where you put things that you never use but would feel bad disposing of. They gathered dust until we moved in 1976, I think they went at our garage sale.

    We grew up using Pennsylvania Dutchman mushrooms in the jar.

Now I keep a couple jars in my pantry just in case.

I would add the tomato juice from the can to the pan, and add some more rice to make more of a serving. I may have added a bit of water too.

    Many Moms ground their own hamburger from trimming the Sunday chuck cut pot roast.

Great way to stretch food budget and not waste anything.

      As a fellow midwesterner, I agree. It sounds about right! 😂 My friend got the smiley spoon for me at a Christmas market while she was living in Germany! I love using it.

    This was the cookbook my mom used when she first got married in the early 70s. And my mom did used to eat smelt. I remember her getting them at the old Cub in Toledo, but I don't think I've seen them at grocery stores recently. My mom used to pan fry smelt. I never liked them since you eat the fish whole.

    I’m new to your channel, and as a Baby Boomer your cookbooks and meal choices bring back fond memories. In this particular video, the cookbook said to have coffee in the living room after dinner. That was very common. It allowed guests to move around a bit, and the dishes to be removed from the table. Those days of dinner time, for two or more, were an event. Looking back, some of the food was interesting I guess, but we enjoyed it all. I will continue watching. (Then in the late 50’s or early 60’s, we learned about burritos and tacos. That changed lots of menu ideas for the better.)

    My mom made this with mushroom soup all the time. Especially in the winter she would mix the egg noodles in and keep it warm in a slow cooker on snowy days so we could come in to a warm bowl after shoveling

    Okay. I made this for dinner tonight. Used a little bit of oil instead of butter to sauté and cook the ground beef, used wagyu beef because that is all I had and I used light sour cream. Had to add some beef broth since it was really thick like yours. Glad I had some of that broth in the fridge. I didn’t really have high expectations for this dish but this was delicious!

    I don't know if you follow Tasting History with Max Miller, but he just dropped a new video about the history of Betty Crocker and makes a pineapple upside down cake from one of her first books.

    I had to stop the video to add that I have been married for almost 30 years and I still have trouble timing when dishes should be finished. You should see my notes on when making holiday meals... notes and timers.. 🙂 Also, I make a variation of this meal that I found in a Taste of home cookbook years ago. It has become a family easy comfort meal.

    • @cooking_the_books
      @cooking_the_books  9 месяцев назад

      Sometimes I feel like we don't talk about that skill enough - timing dishes and recipes I mean. And such a big deal on major holidays when you're cooking a big meal! Those notes you make are a lifesaver, I'm sure. I love Taste of Home recipes, too!

    • @JenniferPerryMyScraproom
      @JenniferPerryMyScraproom 9 месяцев назад

      I am 51 years old and have been married almost 30 years - 2 years ago I made a holiday cooking binder after I watch a video from She's In Her Apron. It contains all of my favorite holiday recipes all in one spot along with timing instructions. Both years, so far I have giggled under my breath " Why did I wait so long to make one of these - GAME CHANGER" - So I made one for my daughter too. :-)

    I'd have to go through the cookbook "trolley" in the kitchen to get back to you regarding my favorite Betty Crocker cookbook. I'm really not quite sure what's there, other than one of the big illustrated/tabbed binder-style volumes (with a pie in the cover photo) that must have been published in between the red-cover version and your pastel-cover copy, and my 1984 thin-binder cookie book.
    As for hamburger Stroganoff, we NEVER had that in the house of my mother, but it is still quite familiar from school camping trips (served over Minute Rice).
