Answer:
The TV dinner was invented back in the 1950's when there was a huge surplus of chickens. Gerry Thomas is given credit for the time-saver, no-hassle meal in this link.
Good old fashioned hamburgers, hotdogs, and fries. Also, rootbeer or coke floats.
Meat loaf
Scalloped potatoes
Lemon meringue pie
Fried chicken
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Jello salad
Pot Roast
If I was throwing a 50s theme party, I would make it a potluck dinner and have each person/couple bring one 50s dish. You could provide them with recipes out of a Betty Crocker cookbook. I would play Frank Sinatra and Count Basie Big Band CDs.
--chipped beef on white toast.
--toasted cheese sandwich
--hot turkey sandwich meal (opened faced turkey sandwich on white wonder bread, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and gravy.
--jello
--instant puddings (vanilla, chocolate, tapioca)
--frozen tv dinner (left in the tray for effect)
--chicken/turkey pot pies (also left in their aluminum tins)
--campbell (canned) soup casseroles
--cheez wiz on crackers
Tuna casserole, cheese balls, waldorf salad, devilled eggs, rice or tapioca pudding, macaroni and cheese. we ate a lot of meat and potatoes, especially anything with hamburger. Meatloaf, hamburg gravy, shepherds pie. TV dinners became popular, fish sticks.
Betty Crocker cook books would show you what the people were eating then. Banana Splits were one of the things .
Look her up under Betty Crocker in Address bar. Good luck.
Chocolate malts. Yummy!
Pot roast, potatoes, carrots, onion & celery. Serve with rolls and green salad (ice burg lettuce), for dessert have cake and ice cream. Make a large rootbeer float in a punch bowl.
Don't forget the snacks...like Good n Plenty,Junior Mints..etc..like theatre candy.Also jello parfaits, banana splits, malts or shakes,
lemonade,coke floats, etc.fried chicken, meatloaf, any type of basic home cooked meals really...have fun!
You've gotta make Baked Alaska. It's easy and impressive. There's a great recipe at Epicurious.com (check out the link for a photo)
Invented in the 1800s, the baked Alaska was possibly named to commemorate America's purchase of that northern territory. The dessert was a big hit in the fifties because convenience was a watchword, and for all the showy effect it created at the table, baked Alaska was not difficult to make. Restaurants served ornately decorated versions under flaming cascades of liqueur, while home cooks could just bake it in the oven. Either way, the magic was there—a layer of meringue kept the ice cream inside from melting in the oven. These days, store-bought premium ice creams help baked Alaska taste even better and offer a wide range of flavor options.

Coffee Baked Alaska with Mocha Sauce
Cake
1 quart coffee ice cream, softened
1 10.75-ounce frozen pound cake
4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon coffee liqueur
1/3 cup sugar
Sauce
1 1/2 cups freshly brewed strong coffee
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
For cake: Line 9x5x2 1/2-inch metal loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving overhang. Spoon ice cream into prepared pan, spreading evenly and smoothing top. Cut cake horizontally in half. Arrange 1 cake piece, cut side down, atop ice cream and against 1 corner of pan. Cut remaining cake piece into strips and arrange in pan to cover ice cream completely. Cover with overhanging plastic and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
Uncover cake. Invert onto metal or other ovenproof platter. Freeze while preparing meringue. Beat egg whites in large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form. Beat in liqueur. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Spread meringue over cake, covering cake completely and sealing meringue to platter. Freeze overnight.
For sauce: Combine coffee and semisweet chocolate in heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until mixture is smooth. Increase heat to medium. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Stir in coffee liqueur. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep cake frozen. Cover sauce and refrigerate; rewarm sauce over medium-low heat before serving.)
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 500°F for 20 minutes. Bake dessert until meringue is lightly browned and just set, about 3 minutes.
Cut baked Alaska into slices; arrange on plates. Spoon warm sauce around dessert and serve.
fried catfish okra mashed potatoes
Franks and beans or macaroni and cheese, served on a metal TV tray...sounds kinda '50's to me!
Look for the White Trash Cookbook. Lots of down home recipes in the 50s style, meatloaf, spaghetti and meat balls, chicken and biscuits. Don't forget to make all meat well done.
Yes, tuna casserole. There is a full recipe at
