These are 25 forgotten Sunday dinners that every family ate in the 1970s, the vintage recipes that fed working America before the freezer aisle and the microwave buried them.

We didn't have fancy meals, but every Sunday dinner felt special. It was the one night everyone slowed down, shared stories, and laughed around the table. I wish my grandchildren could experience that.
Sunday dinner just hit different back then Roast chicken mashed potatoes and gravy had everybody at the table for hours Thanks for bringing those good times back
0:29 it was never Sunday supper, that roast Wes done when you got home from church, so Mom made gravy and some green beans and lunch was ready.
No one had tuna casserole on Sunday. I love it any day, though.
I have never smothered my meatloaf in ketchup glaze, and my wife likes it that way.
It was fried chicken or pot roast
This is the kind of food history people don’t talk about enough. Recipes are memories, especially when they came from someone you loved.
You went from Hamburger Helper to beef Wellington in one segment. U r an Id10t.
I still make chicken fried steak and pork chops, not at the same time tho.

Hot open faced roast beef sandwiches are dinner the day after the roast dinner.
Homemade meatloaf and a side of homemade pinto beans and cornbread is my husbands favorite meal. We have it at least 2 times a month.
I’m still serving these. Most folks do. We can’t afford fast food. Geesh 🤦♀️
When I was a kid in the 50s my grandmother sometimes made fish cakes from salt cod, minced potatoes and a little parsley. She fried them in bacon fat, which she always saved. They were out of this world. Too much work for people today. She was a farm girl and knew how to make tasty, nutritious, yet inexpensive food.
Yes, Sunday dinner around 1:00–1:30. Mom didn’t stay home from church to prepare it, she put it in the oven before church, so the main entree was done when we got home. Boy, I still remember how the house smelled when we would come in from church, just Yum.❤❤❤
The opening premise of this AI slop is invalid; I'm 72, I recall the '70s, and the generational Sunday dinner was a rarity outside of those few remaining locales where multiple generations resided together. And the number of families with more than two kids was still falling, fast. Combined with the increasing number of single-parent households, and two-income ones where even Sunday might be a workday for somebody, the tradition was already well on its way out.
Y’all are killing me with these memories me my first cousin and my older brother would go deer hunting in honor of the first people who had the first Thanksgiving meal we got a deer or two most every thanksgiving morning and cooked it on the grill and ate bbq deer meat for a late men’s get together celebrating
I still eat tuna noodle casserole, and everybody I know still makes it.
This kind of food created the overweight reputation you now firmly hold😂
My mother didn't like to cook. There was always snacks on top of the fridge and they replaced a lot of meals. I learned to cook from a girlfriend. I don't cook much for myself but once in a while I'll make something. Unfortunately, I end up making enough for a family. I get tired of eating it after the 3rd or 4th day.
That Ham I make Easter Sunday.
Sorry but no tuna maybe Ham
Family dinners 😊 in my house in Highlands New Jersey thank you Mom and Dad ❤
Why are you flicking the pictures??? You destroyed this.
Hated dinner on Fridays. Walking home for dinner all you could smell was fish cooking from the kitchen windows. To this day I won't eat fish. I'll eat shellfish lobster and shrimp but nothing with scales.😅
Some of the recipes I still actually use as it's cheap and delicious.❤️
True, dinner 🍽 at elders was peaceful, comforting, safe, and home. 🏡
We called it turkey Manhattan and there was beef Manhattan as well
The three-generation Sunday dinner wasn't a thing when I was young, because my grandparents lived in another state. I only saw them once a year for a week or so.
I do pineapple ham every thanksgiving and Christmas
nice video!
When I was 14 it was just me and my older sister. Mom and Dad drove truck
I remember my mom cooking most of these dishes.
I am 79. We ate as a family every night, but Sunday was very special. We had dessert.
