I am 71. We ate so many of these recipes. I love dried beef creamy gravy. I do have to soak the beef and rinse it. It is really salty.

I'm 72 age.One-pan dinners saved my mum so much time in the 1970s. She'd toss potatoes, chicken, carrots, and onions into one roasting pan, and somehow it always came out delicious. Less washing up meant more time sitting around the table with family.

I’m 60 and my mom made every one of those! The only thing about most of these meals today is that your cooking noodles, rice and potatoes in meat fat which we all know now clogs your arteries however you can strain the fat and use beef stock instead with a spoonful of the fat for a healthier option!

This makes it sound as if nobody cooks anymore

I've had and made almost all of these, and some I still do. The majority seem to be ground beef based, and I'm not as into that as I once was. I wish you would include a printed list in the video description - I'd like to make notes on what I'd like to try again. 😋❤
