I recently made a dish that we all used to make when we were in college. It was a big hit with the students at my office, so I decided to make the whole meal for cousin's dinner using recipes that were popular when I was in college. (the 70's)
Menu:
Tater Tot Casserole
Jello salad with a twist
green salad with croutons and Ranch dressing (Ranch was very new and 'in')
frozen peas and carrots
Rhodes rolls (also new and so convenient in the 70's)
chocolate cake and caramel swirled ice cream (Casey's request for his b/day cake)
The recipe:
Tater Tot Casserole
1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 can evaporated milk
1/2 bag tater tots, frozen
cook beef and onion (you can even add celery). Stir in soup and milk. Mix in tater tots and pour into 8x8 or 9x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 40 -55 minutes till bubbly
I made this a lot in college - it still tastes good!
Jello Salad with a twist
1 carton cottage cheese
1 carton cool whip
1 -2 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 small can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 small box orange jello
mix all together, place in fridge for 30 minutes.
Tasty and so easy. We all made this a lot also in the 70's cause it was fancy and fast.
