Description

25 Forgotten Poor Man Casseroles From the 1950s Our Grandparents Swore By What if the difference between an empty table and a full one in 1950s America was never money at all, but a casserole dish, a hot oven, and a woman who refused to let her family go without? These are 25 forgotten poor man casseroles from the 1950s our grandmas swore by: bread and butter casserole, tuna noodle casserole, biscuit-topped beef casserole, poor man's lasagna, potato and egg casserole, shipwreck casserole, Johnny Marzetti, scalloped potatoes and ham, chipped beef and noodle casserole, cabbage and hamburger casserole, cornbread and bean casserole, salmon loaf casserole, and macaroni and tomato casserole. Every dish came from a grandmother who took the cheapest ingredients in the pantry and turned them into a real family supper. If you love forgotten recipes and depression era cooking, this is the real history of American casserole recipes before convenience food replaced the family table. Rice and frankfurter casserole, creamed chicken and biscuit casserole, liver and onion casserole, Spam and rice casserole, green bean and hamburger casserole, and egg and sausage casserole — every one of these poor mans meals fed a whole family for pennies and never once tasted like scarcity. This was the skill of a generation of grandma recipes that fed the strongest generation this country ever raised.
