30 Forgotten Family Dinners Americans Ate From the 1940s to the 1970s In 1964, the average American family sat down to dinner together six nights a week, at the same table, at the same hour, whether anyone felt like it or not. These are 30 forgotten family dinners America used to know by heart: tuna noodle casserole, salmon patties, beef stroganoff, Chicken à la King, Welsh rarebit, creamed chipped beef on toast, Spam and eggs, savory Jell-O salad, ambrosia salad, Waldorf salad, deviled eggs, liver and onions, meatloaf with ketchup glaze, Salisbury steak, the Swanson TV dinner, Hamburger Helper night, scalloped potatoes with ham, and sloppy joes. If you love forgotten recipes and vintage cooking, this is the real history of American family dinners from the 1950s through the 1970s — pineapple upside-down cake, Sunday pot roast, American goulash, baked beans with molasses and salt pork, King Ranch chicken casserole, ham loaf, succotash, chow mein noodle casserole, fondue night, deviled ham sandwiches, and Chicken Divan, closing with the Sunday dinner of roast chicken and all the trimmings that once brought every family to the table together. Every dish here is real American food history, the comfort food and old fashioned recipes that built a generation's idea of what dinner was supposed to feel like.
