Everything you're talking about I grew up on and I still eat it😂😂😂😂😂 my wife when she gets off from work she doesn't want to go in the kitchen she wants to know even though I'm retired some home a lot and she works as a registered nurse she always call and say and all I can say is surprise surprise surprise
Yes! In a hot dog bun, you can eat the sandwich without the filling squirting out the sides of the bun. Still messy but not nearly as much as sloppy joe on a hamburger bun.
I like how the video is like "foods of the past" when I literally make half of these dishes on a regular basis. Though I am old now (44), so maybe that's accurate. LOL
Stuffed peppers, beef stroganoff, Swedish meatballs, sloppy joe sandwiches, tuna noodle casserole, pot pies; you're singing my song - great memories for me from the 60s & 70s. Yummy yum yum.
Stuffed peppers are so awesome. Tuna Noodle casserole is something I had to eat as a kid when times were lean. These days, I don't eat tuna at all. I used to love it and now the thought of it makes me feel nauseated. LOL Sloppy Joes will never go out of style here, love em.
I still make chicken a a king, pot pies, pot roast, meatloaf, goulash, and scalloped potatoes all the time. I guess I didn't realize they had faded away into history. 😅
I'm 59 years old and I remember all of these foods many of them that I have eaten many times over the years or have seen many television commercials of those that i haven't eaten before but I remember all of them and Thanks for the Memories. 🇺🇲📺📻💞📺📻🇺🇲
😂😂 I ate half this stuff last week 😂😂 I cook at home. Never enjoyed street food. And as a New Yorker that’s wild but idk I just loved cooking in general. I just had stuffed peppers.
It's served in my house by my Brazilian wife at least every 2-3 weeks. Sloppy Jonny's (as we call it) and some good Idaho french fries is a dang fine meal! Keep it up!!!! 💖💖
My almost 30-year-old son, 8-year-old granddaughter, and I moved in to take care of my 77-year-old mother (welcome to the 21st century village 😊), and my mom and granddaughter just had sloppy Joe's. I'm teaching my granddaughter what's important. Also, stroganoff, meatloaf, Swedish meatballs, shepherds pie, seafood chowder and goulash are all in the monthly meal rotation 😁. I'm creating a cookbook for her for when I die so her dad doesn't starve her, lol. I'm also teaching her the basics of cooking & baking. She loves learning. These are the home cooking recipes she loves. I do love to try new, exotic recipes with her. She's 8 and willing to at least try everything.
Clam chowder a dish of the past??? THAT'S INSANE. I eat styles of clam chowder - New England & Manhattan - more now than I ever did as a child. Born in 1956.
Thanks for this video. I was born in the 70’s and I remember my mom and grandmother making these dishes for dinner when growing up, My grandparents had fondue parties with their guests and those were the weekends my siblings and I weren’t allowed to come over lol. I still love all these dishes. I made them for my family when our children were younger and they still lived at home. I’ve always especially loved stuffed bell peppers. As a little girl I didn’t like sloppy joes because I found them too messy for my hands 😂but I began loving them soon after I was allowed to use a fork and knife to keep my hands clean 😂
I think Sloppy Joes, Chicken Pot Pie, Beef Stroganoff, Chicken a la King, Salisbury Steak, Swedish Meatballs, Meatloaf, maybe Goulash, and Clam Chowder will all make a major revival because given the state of the current economy, the emphasis is on _comfort foods_ and all these fit that description. Interestingly, thanks to a company called IKEA, Swedish meatballs never completely went out of style, and meatballs have evolved with a modern version cooked in grape jelly, a common snack during the American football season.
they lost out in the '80s because more families were on the go and fast food was far too convenient. Now that McDonald's, Wendy's, and others are the price of a sit down meal restaurant, I expect to find more cooking at home, and that is why these foods flourished 50 years ago. They could be readily prepared without a lot of work and then baked or set to slow cook in a pot while other things were done. Inflation is making the family of four cost $100 out eating and you can prepare any of these today for a third or less of that.
Are the meatballs cooked with only the grape jelly? No other ingredient in the sauce? If they are that sweet, my preference would be for Swedish style or with BBQ sauce.
None of these are "lost" in my family...raised on these dishes & still cooked & eaten today. If people aren't eating these timeless recipes they are missing out.
This video claims 'Dietary Trends' made these fall to the wayside. Which is pretty much saying it was the great push to 'Fast Foods' and more 'processed foods', not to mention our ultimate in laziness = processed foods that are now 'delivered to your door'! lol Still make these. Nutritional , tasty, wholesome, comfort foods!! Easy to pack for a nutritious lunch at work! Don't get me wrong I do indulge in some fast foods 'at times' but would rather eat better. Happy eating - Cheers!
I remember as a kid in the 60s/early 70s (from the UK) having no idea what a TV dinner was. It seems strange sometimes to see two English speaking countries with quite different food memories of the same era. My childhood food memories are egg and chips, stews (lots of them), sausage and mash, sausage and chips, cottage pie - most of these things I still eat today and you can still get them in traditional English cafes.
A fish and chips, save me a Guiness stout. Hello from across the pond and friends from The Royal Irish Rangers and 17th Royal Hussars. God save the Queen and bless her memory.
I've made most of these more times than I can count. I made them all from scratch, never from canned soups or frozen pre-made meals. I did try the boxed scalloped potatoes once and my dog wouldn't even eat it.
Perhaps that is why they are unavailable in grocery stores. Those of us still enjoying them are making them at home, and not using a box product. A good cook can make anything better than what you can pull off a shelf.
We just had sloppy joes yesterday, and I make stuffed peppers, tuna noodle casserole, meatloaf, and pot pies often. One I don't miss is mom's creamed tuna on toast.
The pot roast you featured here brought back many Sunday Dinner memories. That is about the size my parents used for our family of five (any leftovers went into a one dish meal the next day called "Bubble and Squeak". I went grocery shopping yesterday and there is no way to afford a cut of meat like that these days!! By the way, Shepherd's Pie is always made with Lamb. When made with ground beef it is called COTTAGE PIE.
German Nostalgia Food from the 1960s is Toast Hawaii. Toast, Ham, Slice of canned pineappke, slice of Cheese, bake till Cheeseburger melt. And a cocktail cherry on top.
I am 22 years old. I cook every day or throw together what I mealprepped. I wasn't allowed Junkfood as a child and Teen. I don't eat what wasn't made with real ingredients. I moved to a big City for University. Tried some frozen meals. That stuff tastes. Not edible. I am all about health, I do my family recipies with a healthy Twist but I mostly cook how my grandgrandmothers and grandmothers cook.
These meals have not faded into history. They are still made by those who know how to cook. Most younger generations rather over pay for a meal delivered by Uber eats due to laziness and lack of planning
Disagree, as someone early 30s, a lot of these aren't that healthy (very few greens in some of these) and I used to eat a fair bit of them when I was a kid. A few problems come from a lot of vegetables in my area tending to be sold more in large packs for families and as someone single, that's a huge waste compared to just buying a healthy meal from a restaurant, especially if I'm buying large quantities that are just going to go to waste. Then for something like pot roast, that takes so much prep and cook time for quality that almost nobody has these days. Finally, beef is also in a lot of these and it in itself is fairly pricey nowadays. All said though, I'm glad I live in Texas where we have H-E-B and a couple of these are actually quality ready-made meals you can grab off the shelf for half the price of a restaurant meal.
Every one of these comes with the tag: “many people would love to see x make a comeback on dinner tables”… then MAKE IT! Eat what you want!! Honestly, get a cookbook!
Easier said than done. Even the "reprints" of classic Betty Crocker cookbooks have been "updated" to be more "healthy" and "modern". The only legitimate recipes "from the past" that I have literally date from that era. People who have never cooked these dishes in their original forms would not even be able to select an authentic version from the many recipes available on-line. They don't taste the same, because they are not the same.
I make almost every single one of these dishes at least once during the winter...so nostalgic! I grew up with my mom making them for the family. (Except liver and onions..no thank you.)😂
Very much the traditional meals of families with stay-at-home moms who read Family Circle and Woman's Day. Brisket was a staple in my home (born in the early 50s), my sister and I were given individual frozen pot pies several times a year and corned beef sandwiches were somewhat common. By contrast, I don't think I ever saw half of these dishes as a child.
Simple Sloppy Joe Recipe: 1 lb. ground beef, one 19 oz. can Tomato Sauce and one package of taco seasoning. Brown beef and remove excess grease, add tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Simmer until sauce is thickened. Serve on hamburger or hot dog buns.
Stuffed bell peppers, Shepards pie, meat loaf and mashed potatoes can be found ready-made at Costco in their deli section if you don't have time to make & they are delicious! After watching this, I'm going to make sloppy joes for dinner. Funny how my mother had made almost all those dinners in the video, and yes, she would make Lobster Thermador for my dad's birthday, and we weren't fat...hmmm....oh well....I sure do miss her cooking & how good the kitchen would smell 🤤 Thanks for the memories!!
Some of these classics should make a come back as they where affordable tasty and filling, just what is needed in trying times. BTW shepards pie made with beef mince is called cottage pie incase anyone wants to look up a recipe.
I make Lobster/Seafood Thermidor and/or Lobster/Seafood Newburgh all the time - Both are great dishes to show off when you bring something for Pot Luck -- ANd I make Swedish Meatballs almost every week. Pot Roast made in the Pressure cooker(not an instant pot) is a regular too. And I have bought Rotisserie chickens to make Chicken Pot Pie. And Meatloaf is still a staple today - it never went out of style. About the only thing I do not regularly make is Salisbury steak - because we never made that -we made what we called Meatloaf Mix Hamburgers instead.
There was also a risqué element to the fondue party, as one of the "rules" was if a woman dropped the item she was drinking, she had to kiss all the men, vice versa for the men
Born in 85 so lets go down the list. 1. I think my family had sloppy joes maybe once or twice. 2. Lobster? HAHAHAHa...yeah, that and crab....I have never once in my entire childhood had either of those. I only ever got to try lobster tails maybe once or twice and crab like once or twice and one of those was the one and only one time we went to the one and only red lobster in the entire state. 3. Only my mother ever liked green bell peppers enough to eat one of these, and because of my parents I had no idea anything other than a green pepper existed until well after many years after I was an adult. 4. My parents never made pot pies, ever. We only had banquet pot pies the super cheap ones. Maybe sometimes if we had extra money marie calanders. 5. I have only ever had scallop potatoes from a box. Never with ham. 6. If Tuna Helper counts as Tuna noodle cassarole, then yes, I have had this plenty of times. 7. I kind ofwanted to try this because of doug. Never had it though because my mum hates liver. 8. My dad always use to make strogaoff but his looked nothing like this. His was a cream sauce with mushrooms. 9. Never had this 10. Only had salsbury steak in a t.v dinner. 11. Pork chops and...what? First time hearing this. 12. My parents never made these. I have only had them in t.v dinner. 13. Had lots of pot roast. Never liked it as a kid because it had no flavor. 14. meatloaf...yep. Many times. 15. Chicken who? 16. Shepphards pie is something I didn't even get to try until like 6 years ago. OH, and btw, if beef is used, that's a cottage pie. 17. I hated ghoulosh. 18. Clam Chowder is a poverty meal. My, my dad, and my mom would split a single can of clam chowder and a single can of tuna to make tuna fish sandwiches between the three of us for dinner. Also we were too poor to afford crackers. 19. Never could do a fondue party. Parents never had the money to buy the cheese or the equipment for that. 20...hmm...I missed one somewhere.
I consider myself to be a Sloppy Jo aficionado. Nothing beats a GOOD scratch recipe, but on those occasions when you need to use a canned sauce, I personally recommend DEL GROSSO JOE JOE’S sloppy Joe sauce. I like to dress it up with chopped onion and green pepper if I have that option. I prefer using a lightly toasted Brioche bun and a couple slices of Sechler’s bread and butter pickles to top it all off. It goes well with Chateau Potatoes, grilled asparagus and a lusty red wine.
I make a good chunk of these, quite often too. Salisbury steak, tuna casserole, stuffed peppers, sloppy joes, chicken pot pie, swedish meatballs, Shepherds pie(of cottage if you wanna be difficult about it), goulash, and meatloaf especially a smoked meatloaf are all amazing.
This video made me hungry! Here in the UK, many of these dishes are still popular. Cottage Pie (beef) and Shepherds Pie (lamb) are iconic. I still make liver and bacon with onion gravy. The Swedish meatballs are eaten at Ikea restaurants! The sad fact, however, is that many people don't want, or have the time, to cook dishes that require a great deal of preparation. They turn to ready meals first.
Fondue. I'm pretty sure 80% of married couples in the 70s had more than one fondue pot, and that all of them were given as wedding gifts. I was there in the 70s and my wife and I had at least one fondue pot as the result of getting married. I didn't know a single couple who thought fondue was worth the effort of making it twice. Weird... random memory.
I've never seen chicken ala king served over biscuits before. That'd be like a dinner version of biscuits and gravy. I only knew of it served over mashed potatoes, which I was never nuts for.
wow, many of these 'graced' my mom's table. economy and flavor! beef stew with only potatoes and carrots besides the main event. my favorite was veal stew (I know) - with veal and onions cooked into a savory stew and served over rice. I only ate fondue once - with my girlfriend at the time and 'Billie' her friend from her hometown. I wonder how Billie is today!
A variation of pot roast, beef stew is a favorite in my household. For those in a rush, ground hamburger and spaghetti sauce from Italian mushroom spaghetti mix and tomato sauce makes a good Sloppy Joe filling. And substituting cream of mushroom with Alfredo sauce really brings out flavor for tuna casserole 👍
We also just added pork chops with sour kraut ( rinsed thoroughly) with fresh apples and a little apple sauce. Served with mashed potatoes. Make a two meal dinner! Yum!😋
I remember Sloppy Joes from grade school it was made from tasteless ground beef and ketchup they also never even toasted or heated the buns frozen buns !! It was thought that the hot ground beef would help melt the buns never did so we ate the ground beef with ketchup and called it a day ! My Memories from school lunches in Dade Elementary school in Miami Florida 1960s & early 70s . Although we had a great Principal shout out to Misses Samson and my home room teacher Miss Bell !
I can tell you unequivocally that I don’t want chicken a la king or liver and onions back. In the other hand, I make Swedish meatballs, meatloaf, and shepherd’s pie fairly often.
I'm 57, I think I'm slowly becoming a food anthropologist. The math that could go into a weekly dinner menu back then (at least from My Mom) was peak food/money tetris. Meals would turn into leftovers, leftovers would turn into other meals. Both of My Parents experienced the Great Depression so waste wasn't in the cards. It was generally pretty great, but I'm still a little traumatized about Thanksgiving. We'd be eating parts of that meal until next June. I have strict rules about holiday leftovers now.
I am 71 yes old and many of these are still our Sunday faves. Just because many people became "vegan" doesn't mean we all did nor do we have to conform.

When my kids were little, I found that sloppy joes were better served in a hot dog bun...Sloppy Dogs.
I still prefer hot dog buns lol
@@rochelleb973 HAHA! Oh yes...much less sloppy with little kids.
That is a really good idea. I wish I knew this when my children were younger. Thanks for sharing.
Everything you're talking about I grew up on and I still eat it😂😂😂😂😂 my wife when she gets off from work she doesn't want to go in the kitchen she wants to know even though I'm retired some home a lot and she works as a registered nurse she always call and say and all I can say is surprise surprise surprise
Yes! In a hot dog bun, you can eat the sandwich without the filling squirting out the sides of the bun. Still messy but not nearly as much as sloppy joe on a hamburger bun.
Many of these can STILL be found on my table.
Same!
Since when did salisbury steak got out of style?? the family loves when i make it
Same!! Im like lost recipes? I still cook these! I made the stuffed peppers last night!
I like how the video is like "foods of the past" when I literally make half of these dishes on a regular basis. Though I am old now (44), so maybe that's accurate. LOL

@@TheRange7 As long as I don't taste any tomatoes I'm good.
Still all standard dishes in Sweden, except for sloppy joes
@shinnam I thought they're all kabobs these days. And, I'm half Swedish.
How amazing it must have nmbeen to live in the US back then.
I still make chicken a a king, pot pies, pot roast, meatloaf, goulash, and scalloped potatoes all the time. I guess I didn't realize they had faded away into history. 😅

Man you're old!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 I ate half this stuff last week 😂😂 I cook at home. Never enjoyed street food. And as a New Yorker that’s wild but idk I just loved cooking in general. I just had stuffed peppers.
Literally ate Sloppy Joes last weekend. Not lost but continuing in popularity in the Midwest.
They are on the menu at least 2 times a month at my house.
I still love sloppy joes.
... and also in the Deep South, if truth be told.
Yeah and stuffed peppers, tuna casserole, beef stroganoff- I ate those growing up. And still will when I can.
It's served in my house by my Brazilian wife at least every 2-3 weeks. Sloppy Jonny's (as we call it) and some good Idaho french fries is a dang fine meal! Keep it up!!!! 💖💖

Having Salisbury steak tonight!! I'm 50 years old and remember my mother used to make it... I cook it about once a month now..
As a kid, all of those recipes were regular meals at my house....so lucky to have a mother that was a good cook, so many memories.
So many good foods. And I'm not even lying when I say I literally had a shepherd's pie in the oven cooking while watching this. lol
"Changing tastes and lighter fare" sorry I didn't get the memo. I still make all of these. 😄
Chicken a la King: basically chicken pot pie without the pie crust
The wine in king chicken is what separates it from chicken pot pie. Other than that, I agree wit ya!
OK you win! I loved everything in this video as a kid in the 60s! Now I'm in my mid 60s and want to eat them again! Thanks!
Clam chowder a dish of the past??? THAT'S INSANE. I eat styles of clam chowder - New England & Manhattan - more now than I ever did as a child. Born in 1956.
I grew up with every one of these dishes! Now as a mom of two, I continue to keep most of these alive.
💝 Clam Chowder every Friday! On so many menus still today. A keeper! ❇❇❇
I'm 52. My Mom would make almost all of these meals. And I still make them today
Good job👍
I still do, so not forgotten, we love these dishes. 6:05

Sloppy Joes still exist, mixes for it can be bought at grocery stores, restaurants still offer it
They just mean these dishes aren't popular anymore. Not that they don't exist
I love these sandwiches - remember them vividly from the early & mid 70s.
@pame1799 I agree, I thought it was just me!

After watching this, I'm going to make sloppy joes for dinner. Funny how my mother had made almost all those dinners in the video, and yes, she would make Lobster Thermador for my dad's birthday, and we weren't fat...hmmm....oh well....I sure do miss her cooking & how good the kitchen would smell 🤤 Thanks for the memories!!
Some of these classics should make a come back as they where affordable tasty and filling, just what is needed in trying times. BTW shepards pie made with beef mince is called cottage pie incase anyone wants to look up a recipe.
Everything in this video is still served in my house ( got a good wife) and in my son's as well. Not gonna give them up for anyone. 😉
If you made a Shepherd's Pie with minced beef instead of lamb it would in fact be a Cottage Pie-both delicious.
Growing up in the 80s I remember all these dinners. My Mom made the best Liver and onions.
Outside of liver, I enjoyed all these growing up in the 70's plus chicken burgers.
People still eat all these things, except maybe the lobster thermidor. I certainly do.
I make Lobster/Seafood Thermidor and/or Lobster/Seafood Newburgh all the time - Both are great dishes to show off when you bring something for Pot Luck -- ANd I make Swedish Meatballs almost every week. Pot Roast made in the Pressure cooker(not an instant pot) is a regular too. And I have bought Rotisserie chickens to make Chicken Pot Pie. And Meatloaf is still a staple today - it never went out of style. About the only thing I do not regularly make is Salisbury steak - because we never made that -we made what we called Meatloaf Mix Hamburgers instead.
There was also a risqué element to the fondue party, as one of the "rules" was if a woman dropped the item she was drinking, she had to kiss all the men, vice versa for the men
😂😂😂
😅😅
Born in 85 so lets go down the list.
1. I think my family had sloppy joes maybe once or twice.
2. Lobster? HAHAHAHa...yeah, that and crab....I have never once in my entire childhood had either of those. I only ever got to try lobster tails maybe once or twice and crab like once or twice and one of those was the one and only one time we went to the one and only red lobster in the entire state.
3. Only my mother ever liked green bell peppers enough to eat one of these, and because of my parents I had no idea anything other than a green pepper existed until well after many years after I was an adult.
4. My parents never made pot pies, ever. We only had banquet pot pies the super cheap ones. Maybe sometimes if we had extra money marie calanders.
5. I have only ever had scallop potatoes from a box. Never with ham.
6. If Tuna Helper counts as Tuna noodle cassarole, then yes, I have had this plenty of times.
7. I kind ofwanted to try this because of doug. Never had it though because my mum hates liver.
8. My dad always use to make strogaoff but his looked nothing like this. His was a cream sauce with mushrooms.
9. Never had this
10. Only had salsbury steak in a t.v dinner.
11. Pork chops and...what? First time hearing this.
12. My parents never made these. I have only had them in t.v dinner.
13. Had lots of pot roast. Never liked it as a kid because it had no flavor.
14. meatloaf...yep. Many times.
15. Chicken who?
16. Shepphards pie is something I didn't even get to try until like 6 years ago. OH, and btw, if beef is used, that's a cottage pie.
17. I hated ghoulosh.
18. Clam Chowder is a poverty meal. My, my dad, and my mom would split a single can of clam chowder and a single can of tuna to make tuna fish sandwiches between the three of us for dinner. Also we were too poor to afford crackers.
19. Never could do a fondue party. Parents never had the money to buy the cheese or the equipment for that.
20...hmm...I missed one somewhere.
I am glad I grew up with Cuban food in the 1960s when I when home after the agony of bland school food we ate well !!
My family and most people i know, eat the vast majority of the meals often
I love sloppy joes & still make them now.
A meatloaf sandwich with cheese sounds really good right now…
My favourite thing about making meatloaf is the cold sandwiches later on. Thinly sliced meatloaf, butter, mayo and HP Sauce. Mmmm....so good.
Still make it occasionally with ground beef, eggs, hot sausage and wrapped in bacon
@@MovieClipQueensame here! I always look forward to meatloaf sandwiches the next day ❤️💙❤️🇦🇺
I consider myself to be a Sloppy Jo aficionado. Nothing beats a GOOD scratch recipe, but on those occasions when you need to use a canned sauce, I personally recommend DEL GROSSO JOE JOE’S sloppy Joe sauce. I like to dress it up with chopped onion and green pepper if I have that option. I prefer using a lightly toasted Brioche bun and a couple slices of Sechler’s bread and butter pickles to top it all off. It goes well with Chateau Potatoes, grilled asparagus and a lusty red wine.
What time should we be over for dinner? 😃
I've had almost all of these in the past year and for that I consider myself fortunate
they didn't all disappear from our table.
We still make sloppy joes, stuff peppers
Pork chops and applesauce yes❤
Oh, Damn those changes in consumer preferences.
We had scalloped potatoes for Christmas every year
In Canada I can still purchase a can of Manwich. My grandson loves them. Sloopy Joes never goes out
Excellent preaching. I loved it.
I make a good chunk of these, quite often too. Salisbury steak, tuna casserole, stuffed peppers, sloppy joes, chicken pot pie, swedish meatballs, Shepherds pie(of cottage if you wanna be difficult about it), goulash, and meatloaf especially a smoked meatloaf are all amazing.
This video made me hungry! Here in the UK, many of these dishes are still popular. Cottage Pie (beef) and Shepherds Pie (lamb) are iconic. I still make liver and bacon with onion gravy. The Swedish meatballs are eaten at Ikea restaurants! The sad fact, however, is that many people don't want, or have the time, to cook dishes that require a great deal of preparation. They turn to ready meals first.
I cook meatloaf, Swedish meatballs, & sloppy joes,pot pie
I still make a number of these. Especially stuffed peppers.
Fondue. I'm pretty sure 80% of married couples in the 70s had more than one fondue pot, and that all of them were given as wedding gifts. I was there in the 70s and my wife and I had at least one fondue pot as the result of getting married. I didn't know a single couple who thought fondue was worth the effort of making it twice. Weird... random memory.
+1 for including Chef Jean Pierre clip on the retro TV 😀
🙂Thank you!💯👍❤!
The ONLY way to have most of this is HOMEMADE! Have you ever done a Chef Boyardee pizza kit Chicago Style...🤨
I've never seen chicken ala king served over biscuits before. That'd be like a dinner version of biscuits and gravy.
I only knew of it served over mashed potatoes, which I was never nuts for.
Over biscuits or toast is the only way I've ever had it.
My daughter makes great stuffed peppers
wow, many of these 'graced' my mom's table. economy and flavor! beef stew with only potatoes and carrots besides the main event. my favorite was veal stew (I know) - with veal and onions cooked into a savory stew and served over rice. I only ate fondue once - with my girlfriend at the time and 'Billie' her friend from her hometown. I wonder how Billie is today!
Have a pot of sloppy Joe’s on the stove right now. It’s something that I usually have everything I need and it’s easy to.
Went to a private grade school in the 70's. Sounds a lot like our lunch options. It's where I first discovered and fell in love with goulash.
A variation of pot roast, beef stew is a favorite in my household. For those in a rush, ground hamburger and spaghetti sauce from Italian mushroom spaghetti mix and tomato sauce makes a good Sloppy Joe filling. And substituting cream of mushroom with Alfredo sauce really brings out flavor for tuna casserole 👍
I like to toast the sloppy Joe bun. Makes it a bit better sandwich
My family loves my ham and scalloped potatoes, my hubby’s chicken pot pie, stuffed peppers made from our own peppers, etc. 😋
We also just added pork chops with sour kraut ( rinsed thoroughly) with fresh apples and a little apple sauce. Served with mashed potatoes. Make a two meal dinner! Yum!😋
A lot of these I didn’t have homemade but I got the Stouffers frozen version.
They didn't go away as much in rural areas, as I picked up on many of them in the 1990s.
Most of these were standards on Mom's table, this was a tasty trip back in time!
I miss oyster stew with corn bread. Haven't had that in many years.
I remember Sloppy Joes from grade school it was made from tasteless ground beef and ketchup they also never even toasted or heated the buns frozen buns !! It was thought that the hot ground beef would help melt the buns never did so we ate the ground beef with ketchup and called it a day ! My Memories from school lunches in Dade Elementary school in Miami Florida 1960s & early 70s . Although we had a great Principal shout out to Misses Samson and my home room teacher Miss Bell !
My mom made the best tuna Casserole. Even topped it off with lays chips. Delicious!!
I can tell you unequivocally that I don’t want chicken a la king or liver and onions back.
In the other hand, I make Swedish meatballs, meatloaf, and shepherd’s pie fairly often.
Agree liver and onions is 🤮 I'm 42 yrs old. My mom use to make that when I was younger.
Liver and onions is an acquired taste, while chicken Al La king was a good school lunch
I couldn't imagine going out to eat and ordering chicken-a-la-king 🤣.... And Shepards pie being called "exotic" is hilarious too!
I have scalloped potatoes in my pantry.yum
You mean fridge?
So do I, although I prefer to make them from scratch if I have the time.
@@CordeliaWagner1999 They make a kit which includes dried potatoes. Not bad, actually.
Scalloped potatoes and ham I make perfect from scratch flour,milk butter! My favorite on cool fall day oh and lots lots of cheddar cheese😊
I cook at least 60% of these meals for our family weekly and I'm 39. Not sure why people think they are too good for it. I love eating most of this.
I still cook most of these meals......I promise all show up on the menu a couple times a year.
the Shepherd's pie i had growing up was a layer of scrambled hamburg, a layer of canned corn (not creamed corn) and a layer of mashed potatoes.
I make my own version of Shepherd's Pie now and then. Some of the others look delicious. I love a good seafood chowder.
I'm 57, I think I'm slowly becoming a food anthropologist. The math that could go into a weekly dinner menu back then (at least from My Mom) was peak food/money tetris. Meals would turn into leftovers, leftovers would turn into other meals. Both of My Parents experienced the Great Depression so waste wasn't in the cards.
It was generally pretty great, but I'm still a little traumatized about Thanksgiving. We'd be eating parts of that meal until next June. I have strict rules about holiday leftovers now.
I am 71 yes old and many of these are still our Sunday faves. Just because many people became "vegan" doesn't mean we all did nor do we have to conform.
What does others eating vegan have to do with your food choice?
Are you a Narcicisst or why do you argue this way?
