Fifties theme

In addition to the tuna-noodle casserole, we ate fishsticks and Tater Tots or Swanson's chicken pot pies on nights that our parents were going out. Another stand-by (that I still eat) was a hamburger-macaroni casserole with tomato soup and cheddar cheese and pimiento-stuffed olives. Chili and pizza were popular at parties in the late 50's/early 60's. A local drive-in was famous for it's onion rings and graham cracker cream pie. Runzas were popular in my hometown of Lincoln, NE--don't know if you had them on the East Coast. TV dinners were hitting the market about that time too I think--Swanson's was one of the major brands.
