What's your favorite TV dinner?

[@danielthoman7324]

Salisbury steak😅

[@fnjesusfreak]

Banquet Mexican. Haven't seen it around in a good 20 years.

[@edkeaton]

Salisbury Steak, Fried Chicken, and Meatloaf dinners are my top 3 favorites. 😋❤️

[@politicsuncensored5617]

Many years back I could buy wiener schnitzel TV dinner from our Publix, but it has long been discontinued. My favorite would be wiener schnitzel.

[@edkeaton]

I absolutely loved Salisbury Steak tv dinners back in the day! They were quite tasty!

[@kevingriffith598]

I make my own Salisbury steak. And when I cook it, everyone is happy. It's one of my favorite meals to cook.

[@arthurleino]

I get frozen TV dinners sometime. I like the Salisbury Steak, Meatloaf and fried chicken.

[@crybebebunny]

In our home, TV DINNERS are a treat that when we Indulge we are very HAPPY TO EAT❣️❣️❣️🎉🎉

[@LoyaFrostwind]

My favorite use of hamburger steak is in loco moco.

[@marylist1236]

My family used to have Swiss Steak Hamburgs

[@cindyobrien9270]

I make Salisbury steak and Swiss steak at least once a month. Loved the frozen dinners in the 60’s, not so much now.

[@A22DNAL]

When I tell you...THIS...is my comfort meal!😋I make my own mean salisbury steak for sure!♥

[@AllStars2525]

It reminds me if my childhood and I cook them all especially in cold weather months.😂

[@rashadmartinez5590]

Poor Man’s dinner but hearty with a bowl of white rice🤗 🔥🔥🔥‼️

[@imdifferentMr843]

We do mashed potatoes, but definitely delicious either way 😊

[@fnjesusfreak]

Throw a couple eggs over-easy on top and you basically have a loco-moco, not?

[@ericlondon2663]

Primary ingredient of Salisbury "Steak" is toast..... THAT'S what is on the label for the Encore Salisbury Steak family pack....go read it in your local grocer's freezer section.

[@chris.eskimo]

Well, if ya buy it, eat it, and LIKE IT.........

[@chris.eskimo]

Much like the 'onion burger'. INTENDED to conserve beef, but DELICIOUS!

[@chris.eskimo]

We may want to learn from this, given the current world political situation. Just sayin

[@markcollins2666]

Well, ingredients are listed from most to least... So, toast is what you're buying the most of, I guess. "There's always more with Encore!!!"

[@canuckinsk]

If you make your own, it's still one of the best things you can eat.

[@jollyjohnthepirate3168]

Considering that Union troops subsisted on a diet of salt pork, hard tack and coffee, yeah there was some digestive issues.

[@sonny9054]

Fun fact. In Japan, hamburg means Salisbury steak. Hamburger means the sandwich.

[@WhatWouldVillainsDo]

Sometimes I eat those banquet Salisbury steaks, they are a piss poor option but sometimes I don't have the time but it kinda helps with the cravings

[@EM2theBee]

I make a mean Salisbury steak! One of my favorites ❤

[@georgecontreras5106]

Good one.👍

[@vernareid961]

All Salisbury steak recipes have to have 2 TBSP of prepared horseradish in them, or they don't have that signature flavor. Anything else is just plain old hamburger steak.

[@Didymus20X6]

"He ate only baked beans, which wreaked havoc on his digestive system.." H.P. Lovecraft: "Hold my tea while I get my can opener."

[@Johnny-ql2vd]

Haaa !!

[@soupbums]

So if I invented some delicious soup it will be called SOUPBUMS 👍

[@noremac000]

“Is it the Salisbury steak or the tacos”

[@politicsuncensored5617]

My grandmother made the best little hamburger steaks, onions and gravy when I was growing up. It was true "comfort" food. I have made Salisbury steak a number of times. Always taste great, but it still is not as good as grandma. Shalom

[@rockystaatz521]

Now they think it’s a hamburger patty with gravy, it’s a joke now

[@martyi398]

Don't buy the frozen crap, Salisbury steaks are quick & easy to make at home, there's many recipe variations on the web so folks can personalize to their taste!

[@DOWNZ.]

First

[@scoobysnacks3740]

I grew up with Salisbury steak on grits

[@gwensmith6]

I make this for lunch with vegetables and noodles. Blend onion and garlic to help tenderize it.

[@miketarczynski2915]

I useta murder pot pies early 90s

[@bradleyheck7204]

The real answer was boil the water to kill the bacteria, but I do love salisbury steak with the addition of onions and/or mushrooms.

[@acenem]

Nothing strange.

[@renuvatio9986]

I think Salisbury steak is the nastiest TV Dinner meat fallowed by Fried Chicken. Turkey is always good
