I grew up on this cookbook. Mom was given it when she got married to my Dad in 1962. When I left home, I took her cookbook with me and used it until it literally fell apart. I found a copy on eBay, so I’ll be cooking with Betty Crocker as long as I’m alive!
Lovely memory and story, thanks!
That's awesome. My mom also received this cookbook as a slightly belated wedding gift. My paternal grandmother got a lovely new kitchen in 1962. She pushed to get it finished before her new daughter in law arrived from out west. The cookbook was grandma's to help her figure out how to use all the new appliances. She and my mom got to spend some time together cooking and then the book went with my mom to the air force base in Northern Michigan where Dad was stationed. I learned to cook with this book and still rely on it for good advice. I love all the pictures and the party ideas.
@@bethenecampbell6463 that’s a lovely family memory thank you for sharing it!
What is your favorite recipe from the book?
Same here! Mom got it as a wedding gift in 1962. I learned to cook from this book. That tamale pie was one of my favourites. What wonderful memories….
I have a crazy story about this cookbook. In the mid 1990s, I came home for Christmas and my mother gave me this cookbook. It had been hers since she was newly married in the 60s. We still bake Ethel’s sugar cookies from it to this day. I packed it up in my luggage. Headed for California from the Midwest on a greyhound. When I arrived at my final destination, my luggage was lost! It took two weeks to find my luggage which had ended up in lost luggage somewhere in Texas, I think. Once I finally got to go through the suitcase, I was missing all of my shoes, a pair of men’s tidy whiteys had been added. But the cookbook was still there. That was the only thing I cared about.
Oh my gosh!! Glad you got your cookbook back, but sorry to hear about the missing shoes! Even more sorry about the uh...'bonus' item. 😂
That's the best story! So glad the cookbook was saved. The bonus item is just weird. People can be so strange....
Thank heavens they didn’t steal the cookbook! Ethel’s sugar cookies are a Christmas classic! ❤️
Wish I had the recipe for the cookies
Ethel's Sugar cookies are my favorite.
My Mom taught a class using that cookbook so me and fellow Junior Girl Scouts could earn our “Hospitality” badge.
I am 82 years old and I was given that cookbook by my mother when I got married in 1962. I still have it and use it occasionally. My favorite recipe in it is chicken ala king. I still make it. I gave Betty Crocker cookbooks to my three children, including my two sons, when they went out on their on. I told them if you an read you can cook.
My mom loved Denver Sandwiches, but she spread margarine, ketchup and horseradish on the bread.
It comforts me to know that there is someone else out there in the world that loves cookbooks just as much as I do.
My kitchen is decorated with cookbooks, and I have MANY shelves holding my MANY cookbooks. I love watching you open them, show the illustrations and discuss the "back then to now"...I'm so happy I found your channel. I'm MUCH older than you and it thrills me to see a younger person appreciate the oldies but goodies! XOXO
I believe many of us in our 30s and 40s have become very interested in learning about the past, and old ways of doing things thanks to channels like this and others on CZcams. Hopefully this will trickle down to the younger generations too. 💛
I looove cookbooks and the cookbook style magazines that have gorgeous nostalgic photos from all decades! It’s fun! Gives us inspiration!
I’m in my early 60s, and I’ve always enjoyed reading and looking through cookbook (especially ‘vintage’ ones). Its great that others have the same interest. ❤
I have thousands of cookbooks. I've collected them all my life. It pains me that I don't have family and when I pass who knows where they will actually end up. 😮
i'm 23 and have an ongoing collection of cookbooks from the 40s to now! its because such a hobby that my friend gifted me seven 70s cookbooks that she found on ebay! there's something so special about learning about the past and real peoples experiences through the lens of food
You forgetting, is wonderful. This means you truly stepped away from your job and enjoyed your time off. As a result you sound so freash, happy and even giggley! You are like a renewed spirit!! Proud of you.😊
I'm sorry, but i laugh out loud whenever you go on the "I know Betty Crocker's not real" trail. I don't blame you, I talk with the Quaker Oats man all the time!! 😂😊
I still get 'You know Betty Crocker isn't real right' comments on several of my videos ALL THE TIME. I just like to chat with her, ok? 😂
I make tamale pie fairly often. It's easy to make after a long day, cheap and endlessly customizable. I generally use taco seasoning on the meat and put the cheese under the cornmeal topping. Then we add salsa or sour cream to our liking.
We make the tamale pie too...we use sliced black olives (more to go around😊) and add a can of chopped green chiles to the corn meal mixture
I haven’t thought about tamale pie in years, but we had this a lot when I was a kid. And we all loved it. I’ll be making this soon
I’ve had the tamale pie - or some version of it - many times, but completely forgot about it. I’ll be making it again for certain!
I just made it last week, it’s delicious
I love this series of budget meals. People could make the tamale pie even cheaper by making it a meatless meal with a can of pinto beans and black beans. Thanks for sharing these recipes!
I was 4 years old when this book was published and I grew up learning to cook from this book. Thanks for the memories!!
I have my mother's original copy of that cookbook...in excellent condition..they are quite collectable now..refer to it often . Also still have the vintage cookware and measuring cups. I'm 66 yrs old. Ty for sharing your fun site and letting us remember simplar times 😊
The tamale pie is better the next day. And more spices, of course.😊
Another Army brat food memory. Living in West Germany in the 1960's. All families had access to " C-rations". Dark green cans of food storied in the attics of all military housing. And ours were never labeled! Opening them was always a surprise. Spaghetti and meatballs to a Hershey bar. Some even had mini packs of cigarettes. Like 6 to a pack. The 1960's. Once my Mom opened a can with strawberry jam. Like 16 ounce can of jam.
I have my mother's copy from 1961 and I was given a copy when I married in 1971. My copy I sent to my neice when I downsized and will some day give my mother's copy to one of my children.
On the Tamale part lets stretch it out a bit...and add a can beans.
I love Sunday afternoons with Anna!! I love the recipes and watching you make them, but my favorite part is when you share the recipe book. Your enthusiasm for the illustrations and layouts of the books is so fun! I found the Elsie the cow cookbook this week and remember the discussion about her family.
I think that illustration was absolutely meant to suggest Bing Crosby! It was above the St. Patrick's Day section, and he was well known for his Irish ancestry and his love of Irish songs.
This is my mom’s cookbook! Long story short, she handed down the original to my sister so I got a copy for myself. Although it’s not the same cookbook mom used and it lives on! The cinnamon rolls are amazing! The first dish is exactly something I make for a quick and comfort food lunch. I’m also a hand-cheese-shredder!
You could also use Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix for the tamale pie . It’s cheap! The recipes look delicious!
I love that stuff. So easy to whip up a few corn muffins for dinner, or like you said, pour it on top of a casserole. Jiffy used to have a little cookbook for their mixes that you could request on their website.
Jiffy is so perfect! Yes, I bake from scratch…and yes, I can make cornbread from scratch, but I really enjoy the taste of Jiffy better.
I used a Jiffy mix to make a corn pudding for a potluck just a few days ago. It was a hit!
The Lumberjack Macaroni recipe is also in The Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook on page 381. However, it says American Cheese instead of Cheddar. It even includes the information about the founder of General Mills making it.
Thank you!!!! I really live vintage recipies and enjoy your presentation. You always respect the history. ☮️💟 2:02
There’s so much variety that could be added to the macaroni, I love how simple it is yet would never think of adding those ingredients.
We didn’t have taste buds back then! 😂
We usually serve broccoli with macaroni and cheese dishes, because you can’t go wrong with broccoli and cheese.
A note about cheese…. Pre-grated cheese has an anti-caking agent added, so for a recipe where melting is important, it needs to be freshly grated at home. Also the harder the cheese, the less “melty” it is. I try to sneak in a small bit of velveeta, American, or Monterrey Jack when I can. If the recipe has beer, wine, egg yolk, or mustard then the cheating isn’t necessary. The tamale pie is killer!! My grandmother used to make it. ❤
@jbridges9574
It's strange she didn't "heart" your comment. I'm amazed at how many people are ignorant of this fact about pre-shredded cheese being coated in anti-caking agents, and how that can affect your dish.
Anyway, I came here to write exactly this. I'm glad someone else has already mentioned it. 😊
I use an egg yolk and/or a bit of cream cheese. It really made it creamy and rich.
@@lisahinton9682I didn't 'heart' the comment because I just returned from being away for a few days.
That’s the version of the Betty Crocker my mom had. Every illustration you showed I’ve seen thousands of times. That poor thing fell apart and disappeared over the years. I managed to find and keep my grandma’s 1950 first edition hardcover version. Still pristine in its machine stitched plastic cover.
The Fiesta tamale pie was delicious and cooked up really well. Also tasted great the next day heated up for lunch.
Hello! You do know that Betty Crocker isn't real, right? 😂😂😅😅😅😅 I couldn't resist!
she is in our imagination 🙂
Good recipes. So many ways to vary the Fiesta Pie. More sliced olives! Worked on a drug store food counter in 1975. My after-school job. Made a lot of Denver/Western style omelets and sandwiches. Very popular. Thanks for the reminder.
I really liked this video, especially your 1/2 version which makes it perfect for a senior who lives alone. They are perfect serving sizes for 2 or 3 because we just don't eat that much anymore. When I was a teenager in Ontario, Canada, my friends and I would go to the movies and stop by a very popular restaurant near the theater, and get what they called a "Western Sandwich", same exact ingredients as this recipe. I really loved it, even though I was not an egg eater at the time. Thanks for the memory on this one. On the lumber Jack macaroni, I would use even less of the Worcestershire Sauce, maybe only 1 Tbsp. for the 1/2 recipe and I would drain the macaroni put it back in the hot pot rather like you would for Kraft Dinner., and then add the other ingredients as you did. Thanks so much for sharing these recipes and for your commentary at the end. Have a Blessed day.
I love your vintage cookware and bowls. It makes me want to start collecting some
love the vintage pyrex dishes, im sure i recognise the pattern, my mother got a ton of it for their wedding (1965) but i think it all sat in the cupboard till the 80's when we got a microwave
That Denver sandwich would be great with tomato soup for a simple comfort meal. Great recipes to add to the budget meal plan.
Love that combination. 😋
Shocking but Betty Crocker was actually based on a real person: Marjorie Child Husted. I have most of the Betty Crocker cookbooks. I love the recipes and the older the better. They used different ingredients that complimented each other to make meals. Suggestion: next time grill the toast in the frying pan it will give it a different taste. Thanks for sharing and you have a wonderful day.
Fiesta Tamale pie is one of my favorite recipes of all time. My mom use to make it from the Betty Crocker’s All time favorites from 1971
Please feel free to add the kids cheering more often! It was so unexpected and made me laugh right out loud! You deserve all the cheers for your hard work and quality.
> I'm 63 years old, I grew-up eating that Fiesta Tamale Pie during the 1960's & 70's. As I got older, I grew to hate-it and would purposely skip dinner when I knew mom was making-it. However, now seeing this dish again, I can't help but feel nostalgic and would be willing to try it again.
Grew up on this cookbook. My mom used to always make the tamale casserole you made. Brought back so many memories!
I love your vintage cookbooks,too ! Opened up a new adventure for me to cook. 🎉
My sisters and I learned how to cook from this book . . . We still make the date/nut pinwheel cookies every Christmas!
My Mom had that cookbook when I was growing up and my sister has it now. Mom made the salmon loaf often and I hated it. Mom let us make something we called biscuit sticks but I think they were called Butter Dips or something like that. I do remember that they were on page 77 because we made them a lot in 1977.
I have the 1961 edition of that cookbook, in hardcover. I got it from a friend of my mother-in-law, and it’s been my favorite for the past 25 years. Not just for recipes, but also for kitchen tips, menu planning, and table setting.
Useless Fact: The Denver Omelet actually came after the Denver Sandwich.
Love your videos!
😮 that is an interesting factoid!
These recipes remind me of renditions of recipes from my mom’s rotation when I was a kid. Fun stuff!!
I don't know why but chili powder back in the day was more flavorful. I suspect like many products it has been cheapened over the years. I double the amount to get the flavors I remember.
I tried this recipe and my family loved it. Thank you for your channel.
I have had that book for at least 45 years.
Denver sandwich was on the menu in the dinner I worked in in the late 70s.
I have my mother's copy of this book! She, and now I, have used it so much, that I have lost both the front and back covers! The recipe we have made the most out of this book is the salmon loaf recipe! So good and one of the only fish meals I could get my kids to eat!
Maybe Ana can do that 1 for us too!
I ❤ seeing your vintage kitchen ware
I bet you can make a new cover. Just need some stiff cardboard cut to fit front and back. Pick out some cool looking duct tape or contact paper from the craft store and just layer long strips (or a big sheet) over both covers and the spine. Maybe print off a picture of the old front cover and put it inside the new cover and go over that with clear contact paper or 2" clear tape. It'll last another 50 years!
@@bethenecampbell6463 You just gave me hope for an old photo album! Thanks.
That is definitely Bing Crosby! 😄 How odd! 😂 In the early 60's, he appeared in a lot of the typical, popular variety shows that were on TV at the time. Deam Martin, Bob Hope, Dinah Shore, and his own specials, too. I guess a cookbook was just an additional appearance. 😅
Everything looked delicious, I think a little sour cream with that tamale pie would be tasty! Great recipe choices!
Oh my gosh! I grew up in the 60s, and we had red bowls EXACTLY like that!
This was an interesting recipe (the Mac and Cheese plus. )
I made the Mac and cheese and the fiesta tamale pie tonight and they both were really good. My husband really likes the tamale pie
Cornbread tamale pie (as she called it) was one of my Mom's standards. We probably had it about 10 times a year. We didn't have any of those fancy olives or shredded cheese though!
My mom often cooked out of Betty crocker cookbooks - I know that I have had that tamale pie before! I should make it, I had no idea it was that simple.
I was thinking that the Denver scramble needed cheese, right after I thought it, you said it. lol
What a great video!! Love 1960's, cookbooks and fun recipes!! You really made it come alive😊
Thanks so much! 😊
THE CORN CHOWDER IS THE BEST IN THAT COOKBOOK.
love love love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Giving the cost per serving so helpful. I’m a single cook only for myself and knowing the cost per serving helps me budget. I’ll save or freeze leftovers.
Ok that Mac n cheese is happening for sure. Yum ! I love a tangy Mac n cheese
This book was my moms textbook for home ec. She still uses it.
I have a shelf of vintage cookbooks. This has really inspired me to dive into them. I gravitate to just looking up recipes here or Pinterest. So glad this video was in my recommended. Thank you!
i eat egg sandwiches almost every day for breakfast. They really are so good and underrated!
Cooked egg type sandwiches taste even better if you butter the toast! I like just a fried egg on buttered toast sandwich and when I was a kid I would always eat my scrambled eggs on buttered toast. Yum!
My mother used that cookbook all the time! It’s mine now! Made me so happy to see it featured today! ❤
Hi Guys, Talk about success in advertizing I'm having this Fiesta Tamale Pie in an hour because of the leftovers we happen to have in the fridge and pantry. Thanks for this Happy new year to everyone, wishing you all prosperity and happiness this year of the Dragon Jim Oaxaca Mexico (Lumberjack macaroni joke...it didn't get smooth cause those little axes refuse to melt....mwahh mwahh)
Dear Anna, I'm a big fan of your jam! The combo of history in food, publishing/graphics and foodways is so brilliant and your presentation is so effective, soothing and entertaining. I have come off an Asian food deep dive and watching your channel inspired a wild fusion that was so darn good I have to share.
Sauce for macaroni (or any shape pasta) evaporated milk, cream cheese, processed cheese (proportion to your taste) melted in sauce pan, simmer to desired thickness, take off heat whisk in 1 tbsp quality miso and pinch of red chili flakes. Mix with pasta and OMG. Thank you for bringing evap milk into my repertoire!!! ❤❤❤
I think the miso could work really well as it's umami, like the Worcester sauce so it'll be the same kind of flavour.
Sounds delicious! 😋
The Denver, my mom called a western (Canada!) .. dip in ketchup!
I am HERE for that Fiesta Tamale Pie!!! (minus the olives... yeah... I'm one of "them" ;)
I have this book too! THANK YOU, again for all your vids!
It was so delicious. I took some to my dad and he loved it!
i knowww your channel is going to blow the heck up. you consistently provide well-made and approachable videos full of interesting information!
Oh you are so kind! Thank you! ❤
I'm a cheese lover and even still, plenty of flavor in that egg sandwich to not need cheese. But I think I would need a little butter on the dry toast. Toast with butter is heaven.
I had that same cookbook when I first got married in 1979. I wish I still had it. Had a lot of good recipes in it. Would be a nice trip down memory lane
I was so looking forward to seeing you again! Thank you so much for all your hard work!❤
Anna, I just love you! The recipes are fab, and as a book nerd and librarian, I LOVE the way you analyze the books. 😉💚
I just started watching you a couple of days ago and am hooked. I'm 60 years old and remember seeing those cookbooks in my own and grandmother's home. We had one for kids called My First Cookbook put out by Imperial Sugar. If you could find one of those, you could make some of the things my sisters and I did. 😉
I love old recipes and old cookbooks.
What an inspired channel name. Great content
My favorite way to make mac & cheese…is to make homemade mac & cheese and then add bbq sauce to the sauce. That’s similar to the Lumberjack Mac & Cheese recipe. Mmmmmm….
I like the black olives, too!
Interesting crust!! I’m glad you stayed Betty Crocker isn’t real! That history is interesting!
love, Love, LOVE the illustrations in that particular edition of BCNPC!!
I will be making the fiesta tamale pie for a work pot luck and swapping the pork sausage with turkey or chicken sausage and will be using sliced olives
Love this! 😋
This is the cookbook my mom used when I was growing up. I should try to find my own copy, because my mom’s copy is looking pretty ratty. So glad to see it is loved by many and that’s why they all look like that!
I just had a fried egg on buttered toast sandwich for breakfast, so I am definitely going to try the Denver one. I have never heard of a Denver omelette before.
I have a good number of older cookbooks on my book shelves. Most of the books have been given to me by family members who know I am a casual collector of cookbooks. I mostly enjoy reading and looking at these books but rarely try any of the recipes. Your channel has inspired me to choose one cookbook each week and cook one recipe from that book. This week I am making Chicken Chili from the 1993 edition of Betty Crocker’s Great Chicken Recipes book. Thanks again for the inspiration!
So glad my videos gave you the nudge to try some of the recipes in your collection! That chicken chili sounds wonderful. 😋
It's complete random chance that CZcams popped this video up in my feed, as I've never watched one of your videos before... But wow, what a great video. I'm totally subscribing... and totally trying one or all of these recipes
So glad to have you here! Welcome! ❤
I love the narration and love when you sit down at the end and discuss the recipes and the cookbook.
That's a really cute cookbook, and it was printed the same year my mom was born. I'm going to try to find a copy for my shelf!
yay! this is exactly what I needed today.
I remember "tamale pie" from the late 1970s. We felt so exotic eating it! We were little white kids in a white suburb in the Midwest and were so excited to have this meal.
Thanks for the memories, Anna. Your dish looked delicious.
When I was able to eat cheese I would add a can of tuna and peas with the Mac and cheese. When they redid Betty Crocker a lady from our city was apart of the new Betty.
All good meals for me! For the sandwich, I would have added the ham to the vegetables and let it brown a bit with them, then add the egg mixture. Also, a little mayo on the toast would change the flavor profile up in my opinion.
I love mayo on scrambled egg sandwiches!
Suggestion: I'd love to see a series on diet/low-calorie/low-fat recipes from various classic cookbooks. I know Betty Crocker and BH&G had several cookbooks from different decades as well as chapters within the regular cookbooks on those topics.
Yes. Low cal!
I love your videos; I feel as though I’m hanging out in the kitchen with a friend. Thanks so much! 🥰
So glad you enjoy them! ❤
Love the Pyrex and other vintage bowls you use! Perfect for the 1950’s recipes 😄
I love the egg sandwich, The easy way is once you put the egg mix into the peppers and onions, top with a little cheese and then top with a homemade flour tortilla. Cook until the egg is cooked and flip over and brown a little. Once you remove from the heat, add a little salsa and some sour cream and fold the tortilla in half and you have a lovely hearty breakfast that tastes delicious. It's just an adaption of foods that I grew up with that just had that kinda bland flavor.
Tamale pie was a go-to in my household growing up. So much so I swore off it when I was young. I tried your recipe. But me and chili powder are not friends, so I substituted for Taco Seasoning. It made me like this dish. I am not sure if my mom got heavy-handed with the chili powder, but loved the texture and taste. I am a texture queen, too. My husband didn't remember the recipe but once I cooked it it jogged his memory as well. Keep up the good work. Enjoy watching you.
I made the lumberjack mac & cheese & my hubby was eating it for lunch today during a lunchtime zoom meeting (lunch break? 🤣). Anyway, he made some work peeps jealous cuz he described what it was….so I sent them the recipe too…. Thank u! It’s YUMMY
My husband (in a lighthearted nature) mocks my cookbook (and not using) hoarding tendencies so it holds me in check or I’d have *rooms* of cookbooks like Ina Garten and Martha Stewart. 😆
Wow, the lumberjack macaroni sounds so prestigious hahaha
I love your sweater, by the way!
Thank you! I found it at a little shop in Gatlinburg.
I have eaten the fiesta tamale pie before in 1971. My cousin Matt cooked this dish when he was 11, I was 10 and my sister was 8. I LOVED IT.
I have that cookbook! I received it when we were married back in 1965! I have gone thru 3 of them! I love the chili con carne recipe on page 265!!! ❤
