There was a time when bananas were considered a perfectly reasonable option for a dish’s main component. Food in loaf form was also popular. Cookbooks with names like McCall’s Great American Recipe Card Collection and Betty Crocker’s Dinner in a Dish Cookbook trotted these dishes out as quick and easy ways to feed your family and impress your guests, and similar recipes were also featured in magazines like Family Circle and Better Homes and Gardens.
We’re not sure if dishes like these were all some sort of prank orchestrated by the editors of these magazines, or whether Betty Crocker and Better Homes were getting serious kickbacks from the mayonnaise, gelatin, and banana industries. But believe it or not, everything here was published with complete sincerity, and, presumably, some people actually cooked these recipes and fed them to their families or friends.
Here are 17 recipes from the 1971 Betty Crocker card catalogue, a collection of dishes we should be glad we’ll (most likely) never be forced to eat.

Betty Crocker really was an odd person.

The Parsley Pinwheels look OK, maybe a little undercooked, but the slop on the bottom is a no. Even less cool is the use of “plantation” to casually describe a casserole.PC in the kitchen.........................

I get a hankering for bologna from time to time. Brings back memories of anytime we traveled when I was a kid. A loaf of bread, mustard and mayonnaise, and a couple of pounds of bologna. On the road again.

We have a Betty Crocker from back in that day. It’s a good source for basic recipes. I don’t recall any of this weird stuff.
