Do you have this book in your collection? The sketches and photos are just beautiful. Tell me about your favorite Betty Crocker cookbook in the comments!

[@brendakrieger7000]

No

[@cllynch3653]

Yes. I have that same edition. I grew up learning to cook for a family of nine. I had to learn how to cook for two cause it's been just my daughter and me for the last 20 plus years.

[@nothing2seehere34]

I love when Millennials/Gen Z discuss something from a generation, they show how common they actually are.

[@redrooster1908]

I gave a brand spankin" new volume of Betty Crocker ring bound cookbook to my son when he got his first apartment at age 19. I asked later on which recipes he'd made. He said money for groceries was tight but he liked to look at the food pictures, read the ingredients lists and imagine eating the meals. Awww. LOL He's a great cook, married and 37 now😊

[@peglegtucson]

I had this cookbook when I was first married in 1978. I used it all the time. I learned to cook using this book. My husband and I have been married for 45 years now. I am still using cookbooks.

[@cooking_the_books]

I absolutely love the illustrations in this one!

[@mustwereallydothis]

You were correct about the canned mushrooms. I didn't even see a fresh mushroom until I was an adult. It's no wonder why so many people my age dislike mushrooms so much.

[@eathomelive]

I don't rememeber there being a lot of fresh moushrooms around until the early 1990's. Produce departments used to be much smaller and much more limited. You might have 2 kinds of lettuce at most stores. It was very basic.

[@Birdbike719]

TBH I actually like canned mushrooms better than fresh

[@caygabie4100]

Family melt down!!! I made this but doubled it when I was 10 my Mom told me the ground chuck was expensive! I misread 2Tbs flour for 2Cps...dough ball...we went to McDonald's for dinner😢 but kept the noodles for the next day...my 10 yr old ego remembers...groundbeef stroganoff! 😂

[@ebryan1408]

This is exactly how I make hamburger stroganoff. It was always a family favorite and my adult kids still ask me to make it. Yum!

[@mollyswanner1607]

You truly bring up the fact that being 'at home' really is a job that needs to be planned and executed in very specific timing!

[@donnastratton8397]

Hi Anna. When you pulled out the book, I ran to my dining room because I knew I had that book. Turns out it's a First Edition, First Printing, copyright 1958, the year before I was born. 😊 It's a bit smaller than the one you have, it's about 5 x 7 size. The letter from Betty is similar. And it has some very cute illustrations as well. It has the hamburger stroganoff recipe too and it's the exact same as the recipe you made. I got this from my mom's collection after she passed. I'm pretty sure it was my grandmother's before that.

[@cooking_the_books]

Oh yes, that's the original Dinner for Two! The cute illustrations are by Charley Harper. I love that little book so much!

[@conniehahn4577]

I just found this channel...have binged on videos....im 70....takes me back to a lot of these recipes. This Hamburger stroganoff one...had a recipe for this with mushroom soup and you put the dried onions in it...then garnish with a spoon of sour cream and some dried onions.... my daughter loved this dish...but it to have the "fancy" topping on it....shes 35 and still says ...dont forget the fancy toppig lol... love this channel ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Patricia-lg8vg]

when I was younger - lol now I am 64 - we ate this dish. We used cream of mushroom soup. There were a lot of can of soup recipe tiny books. Fanny Farmer was also a cook book was popular in the 70's and early 80's, Martha Stewart, Betty Crocker of course and so many more. many times the aisle at the grocery store would have small cooking booklets from cook book companies. Moosewood was a vegetarian restaurant that had a cookbook. (and many more). My favorite is still the church cookbooks.

[@barbaraallen2461]

I had that cookbook for over 50 years but recently gave it away to a young man who loved to cook but didn't have any cookbooks. Loved many of the recipes. Now, I almost wish I still had it.

I'm seeing this on 9-2-2023. I bought this cookbook when I was probably 50 years younger! 😂 Love vintage cookbooks.

[@cooking_the_books]

It's such a fantastic book, from the beautiful blue cover to the recipes and illustrations inside!

[@Leguminator]

We grew up using Pennsylvania Dutchman mushrooms in the jar. I always compared them to wet pencil erasers, but a few months ago I used them in a retro recipe from my childhood (70s kid / now old curmudgeon), and I was surprised at how bad they were not. Now I keep a couple jars in my pantry just in case.

[@dwhitman3092]

Lordy those pics are mouth watering! TY

[@Birdbike719]

Hamburger strogonoff is the 1st meal I ever learned to cook. Still love it!

[@thistlemoon1]

Society was so different back then. The living room was for entertaining now eating like it is now. You didn't take food or drink in there unless there was company and the kids rarely if ever had food in the living room. My MIL made that stroganoff a lot, we all loved it.

[@annettefournier9655]

Yes that is what we called Poor man's beef stroganoff when I was a kid. We had thos all the time.❤

[@dianaw.571]

This is one of my favorite Betty Crocker cookbooks. My cousin gifted me a later version as a new brids in 1980. The menus and time tables were helpful. We had many favorite recipes from this book. Thank you for bringing back some of my fondest memories. I am a widow now and your video made me smile, remembeting some of my favorite dinners with my husband. When we became parents, these recipes became family favorites. One of them was Tamale Pie.

[@anneholden9908]

Loved that i finally got to see a Dottie video! She was adorable. So sorry for your loss ❤

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Thank you for this. I'm new to the channel and I've seen Dottie in so many videos, but not the new ones. I wondered, but didn't want to ask. She was absolutely beautiful and she seemed like such a good girl! I know she must be sorely missed. 💔

I fell down the rabbit hole watching your channel. Thank you for the reminder about hamburger stroganoff! My husband and I are about to have it tonight over mashed potatoes with green beans. It smells soooo good

[@cooking_the_books]

I love that you tried this recipe! Hope you enjoyed it. 😊

[@FiercedeityBrad]

My mom made this but she added the mushroom juice to the ground beef/onion/flour mixture and let it simmer, then added the mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. We always had it over mashed potatoes with corn. My dad liked his leftover over buttered toast. 😋

[@annieknight71]

I got that cookbook when I got married in 1964. I used it every night. I still have it.

[@marilynhughey1231]

I bought this one with Betty Crocker Coupons just before I married 55 years ago. The Hamburger Stroganoff was one of the 1st recipes I tried and it has been a family favorite for years. Early on I learned to set the table before I began cooking as a promise that supper would be soon.

[@brendasoler4759]

Bonus clippings are the best! I love finding them in used books, especially recipe books.

[@melissac_rustyhingestitchery]

I make a version of this all the time because my kids prefer it over a stroganoff with large beef chunks in it. I don’t use a cream of soup instead I use cream cheese and milk.

[@rigelblue3553]

Oh My, Betty Crocker 😬. My mother made meals from the 1970s Betty Crocker cookbook when I was growing up and the meals were not good. Oh the memories 😂. But seriously, it took me decades to eat meatloaf again. If you are looking for a vintage cookbook, I highly recommend McCalls cooking school cookbooks . I learned to cook with McCalls because it had step by step instructions ( before internet) and my first meal I cooked was the beef stew with parsley dumplings , so tasty. My all time favorites are the ultimate cheesecake ( a true classic NY cheesecake) , coconut-cream cake with lemon and lime filling, chicken breasts with artichokes, perfect pot roast, manicotti and many more-to many to list.

[@karenfrankland7763]

One of my favorite recipes. We always added a large amount of fresh parsley to ours. It works well with either cream of chicken, celery or mushroom soup.

[@redrooster1908]

Yes... Cream of celery or mushroom soup!! I've never used cream of chicken in a hamburger meat recipe😳

This channel randomly showed up in my recommendeds and idk why I'm now obsessed with it. Not that Ana is not lovely! I'm just not a person who cooks recipes lol.

This is the recipe I learned aged 7 in 1974. I do a much more grown up version now. I used to feed anywhere from 2 to 8 people, depending which parent I was staying with…it was one of my signature dishes😂 The other was a lasagna with cottage cheese and frozen spinach. I learned how to figure out ratio early and was really good at not having leftovers. 🌈🌈🦋🦋

I have that one! There's an amazing "dinette cake with easy peanuche frosting" in it that's my favorite cake! My mom got the book as a wedding present!

I think I have that very electric tray, bought at a thrift store a few years ago. I bought it as a remembrance of my mom. I'm 74 and bought her one more than 50 years ago. I have actually used it since. Handy when you have a buffet sort of presentation.

[@bigsky14]

Nostalgic AF. I can feel myself complaining about dinner from here, that's how you know you made it 100% correctly.

[@ghw7192]

I have that book. It was my mother's and it and dozens more cookbooks joined my hundred more when she passed. When I left home, I knew how to make grilled cheese sandwiches and open a can of soup, so I depended on those recipe books that used to be found at checkout lines in grocery stores and, later, real cookbooks. I take after Mom and read cookbooks like other people read novels. I am loving your channel! Thank you!

I got this as a shower gift in 1970 and we made and loved this meal as young marrieds and still do. I don't make it a lot. I use fresh mushrooms now. And chop kind of fine if serving my grandchildren. FYI you left the salt out of your ingredients list. I made this tonight for a dinner request of my 6 year old grandson who loved it when I served it months ago. SO I used 1/2 tsp instead of a whole one. I also have used cream of mushroom soup and it is fine, but I think the cream of chicken gives nice flavor. I serve with peas! And I would also maybe add dried parsley if serving only adults. I also do not serve it with noodles. My husband likes it on toasted bread. I eat it without that but also some potatoes are nice with it. Thanks for your video. I could not find my book, it really is falling apart! I did not make a lot of these recipes but this was a good staple. It's tasty for sure.

[@user-mc3ci6wu9y]

I’m new to your channel, and as a Baby Boomer your cookbooks and meal choices bring back fond memories. In this particular video, the cookbook said to have coffee in the living room after dinner. That was very common. It allowed guests to move around a bit, and the dishes to be removed from the table. Those days of dinner time, for two or more, were an event. Looking back, some of the food was interesting I guess, but we enjoyed it all. I will continue watching. (Then in the late 50’s or early 60’s, we learned about burritos and tacos. That changed lots of menu ideas for the better.)

Many Moms ground their own hamburger from trimming the Sunday chuck cut pot roast. A vice torqued down on the edge of kitchen counter, a kid cranking the handle, fatty beef cubes fed into the top as ground hamburger exited into a bowl underneath.
