40 FORGOTTEN Sunday Dinner Dishes American Grandmas Made in the '70s

Remember the Sunday table at Grandma's house, with the gravy boat, the wobbling green mold and a pie cooling by the window? Here are forty dishes from the seventies that we stopped noticing. We count down from number forty to number one: roasts, casseroles, sides, salads and desserts that American grandmas made while grocery bills climbed and the minimum wage crept up. Along the way, the oil embargo, the Crock Pot, and the can of soup that built a holiday classic. Which dish would you walk a mile for? And what's the one recipe still sitting in your family's box, written in somebody's handwriting? Tell us in the comments.
