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.
