Onion dip is now only ever seen on rare occasions at potlucks or Super Bowl parties, but it was a staple in many households during the 1960s. Sour cream, minced onions, and powdered French onion soup mix were the keys to making this crazy popular dip.

Swedish Meatballs

Exotic meals weren’t all the rage back in these days, but for some reason people really became enamored with Swedish meatballs in the 1960s. A beef stock gravy including sour cream was the key to differentiating the more traditional version of meatballs from these Nordic beauties.

TV Dinners

Although TV dinners were first introduced in the 1950s, they really took off in the following decade. A packaged frozen meal consisting of a main dish, a couple of side dishes, and a dessert became a cheap and convenient option for households that had less and less free time.

Here are three 80s dishes that we think should never have gone out of style.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

Tuna noodle casserole was served by our momos from time to time and we still think of it as the ultimate comfort food. Egg noodles, cream of mushroom soup, canned tuna, bread crumbs, and peas worked surprisingly well together for a perfect dish after a stressful day.

Salisbury Steak

Ground beef made into a patty and served topped with brown mushroom gravy is the wonderful creation that is Salisbury steak. While it has fallen out of favor since the 1980s, we still enjoy it from time to time along with a heaping pile of mashed potatoes.

Sloppy Joes

Nothing quite screams “1980s food” like Sloppy Joes. This sandwich involved hamburger buns which were filled with ground beef or pork which had been cooked in a sauce made with tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and onions. They weren’t fancy, but they were oh-so-good.
