12 Dinners Mom Made in the 1970s That Nobody Cooks Anymore!

12 Dinners Mom Made in the 1970s That Nobody Cooks Anymore! Forgotten 1970s family dinners come back to the table here: the thrifty, saucy, Pyrex-and-skillet suppers Mom made from a pound of ground beef, a can of soup and about forty minutes. Anna walks through twelve of them, from tuna noodle casserole with its prized crunchy corner to Salisbury steak, creamed chipped beef on toast, American goulash and weeknight stroganoff. You'll smell liver and onions from the front porch, watch rice quills pop out of porcupine meatballs, bite into city chicken that isn't chicken at all, and hear the thwack of the mallet on Swiss steak night. There's chicken a la king in flaky shells, chow mein from those taped-together cans, and the stories behind how each dish stretched the grocery money and why it slowly slipped off our tables. Stay to the end to see which supper takes the number one spot, and tell us in the comments which dinner your family loved most.
