20 Famous Dinners That FADED Into History! 

When my kids were little, I found that sloppy joes were better served in a hot dog bun...Sloppy Dogs.

Many of these can STILL be found on my table.

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

Chicken a la King: basically chicken pot pie without the pie crust

Literally ate Sloppy Joes last weekend. Not lost but continuing in popularity in the Midwest.

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.

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'm 52. My Mom would make almost all of these meals. And I still make them today

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. 😅

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..

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.

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.

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.

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!

Home made pot pies are so good

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

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.

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.

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.

💝 Clam Chowder every Friday! On so many menus still today. A keeper! ❇❇❇

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!

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.)😂

If you made a Shepherd's Pie with minced beef instead of lamb it would in fact be a Cottage Pie-both delicious.

Sloppy Joes still exist, mixes for it can be bought at grocery stores, restaurants still offer it

People still eat all these things, except maybe the lobster thermidor. I certainly do.

"Changing tastes and lighter fare" sorry I didn't get the memo. I still make all of these. 😄

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 still make sloppy Joes. I just had them last week, made out of manwich. 😋

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.

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.

i miss all these foods ! RIP Aunt Millie. got me in tears man

Tomato Sauce, Diced Tomatoes, Onions, & diced green peppers

A meatloaf sandwich with cheese sounds really good right now…

lot of this dishes we still make.

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.

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.

The goulash dish, my mother called slumgullion.

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'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.

I make most of these on a regular basis

Oh, Damn those changes in consumer preferences.

Growing up in the 80s I remember all these dinners. My Mom made the best Liver and onions.

I cook meatloaf, Swedish meatballs, & sloppy joes,pot pie

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.

Chicken croquettes....yum! Miss them.

I love sloppy joes & still make them now.

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

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!!

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.

The ONLY way to have most of this is HOMEMADE! Have you ever done a Chef Boyardee pizza kit Chicago Style...🤨

We still make sloppy joes, stuff peppers

My daughter makes great stuffed peppers

I still make and eat these food dishes.

I like to toast the sloppy Joe bun. Makes it a bit better sandwich

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.

Pork chops and applesauce yes❤

We eat sloppy joes all the time

We had sloppy joes for dinner last night

Ham and potatoes is still part of my life

In Canada I can still purchase a can of Manwich. My grandson loves them. Sloopy Joes never goes out

My family and most people i know, eat the vast majority of the meals often

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.

🙂Thank you!💯👍❤!

Used to make sloppy joes off and on but the price of ground beef has went through the roof!

I have scalloped potatoes in my pantry.yum

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 !!

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. 😉

they didn't all disappear from our table.

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 still make a number of these. Especially stuffed peppers.

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.

Outside of liver, I enjoyed all these growing up in the 70's plus chicken burgers.

Corned Beef and Cabbage as a St. Patrick's Day dish is an enigma, as it's not Irish

In South Africa, we take fondu one step further by making it a pot of oil and then a spread of meats and such to fry.

I think you touched on most but there is one dish that still holds it’s crown and that’s spaghetti, and meat sauce or spaghetti with meatballs😇

Excellent preaching. I loved it.

My family still eats sloppy joe's, chicken pot pie, salisbury steak, meatloaf, pot roast, and goulash regularly, and I make AU GRATIN (as opposed to scalloped) potatoes and ham.

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!

Never stopped eating stuff peppers

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!

My mom put sloppy joes on mashed potatoes with peas. We thought of it as a volcano 🌋 We are in our 50s and still love it 😊

We had scalloped potatoes for Christmas every year

My mom made the best tuna Casserole. Even topped it off with lays chips. Delicious!!

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 make sloppy joes by taking leftover spaghetti meat sauce and adding barbecue sauce and ketchup or whatever I want. I always have leftover spaghetti sauce

There is a really good reason that these faded into unreality.

For the majority of these, I neither ate them then or miss them now, but, corned beef and cabbage and fondue are two of my absolute favs. Had both recently...

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😊

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 eat all of these today thank you Marie Callender😂😂

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 was born in the late 80’s and grew up on sloppy Joe’s and still eat them till this day! Some things aren’t gone just not as talked about as in the past!

I have no idea why but putting cooked bacon in tuna salad tastes so good

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.

I had forgotten about our fondue parties, good times.

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 still make stuffed peppers any time I have a lot of bell peppers. So yummy. Actually I make a few of these dishes from time to time.

Meatloaf? We have it at least four times a month.
