If you enjoy meals the ways grandma made them, here are some of the recipes from her day. I have a large collection of vintage recipe which I enjoy sharing with you. I know many of you enjoy the old-fashion recipes as much as I do. Try the Salmon-Potato Chip Casserole which uses canned salmon, an economical way to enjoy salmon. The Tuna Spread recipe is also an economical recipe using canned tuna. Both of these recipes are perfect for families trying to spread their food dollars. For those who prefer the Salmon Filet here is an old Michigan recipe for Smoked Salmon.
SALMON-POTATO CHIP CASSEROLE
This is an old recipe cut from a brand of potato chips that were popular in Indiana.
1 pkg CHESTY potato chips (I would say a regular family-size bag of today's chips.)
1 can (7-oz) salmon
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
Break up the potato chips; flake salmon. Alternate layers in a well greased baking dish, starting and ending with potato chips. Combine the soup and milk and pour over the layers. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until the top is browned. Garnish with the hard-boiled eggs.
TUNA SPREAD
This recipe is from an old PTA cookbook.
1 pkg (3-oz) cream cheese
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp minced onion
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp celery seed
1 tsp horseradish
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1 can (6 1/2 to 7-oz) tuna fish
Combine all ingredients together, except the tuna fish; blend well. Drain the tuna fish well. Crumble the tuna and add to mayonnaise mixture. Blend well. Makes 1 1/4 cups.
