Administrators Eric Posted June 8, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 8, 2019 I like Ro-Tel diced tomatoes, with Chilies. They are just the right amount of spicy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, nice to know.. Will still buy because I like but I will look at some other brands when I am in the store again. Seems these days everyone sues over anything they can find.

Huaco Kid Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I have never purchased canned tomato. Nor, canned meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I like to can my own, unless I'm really busy, then I get lazy and freeze them. We'll see if I get any this year after all this bizarre weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airmotive Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Rotel for chili. Home canned for pretty much everything else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 When I was little and my mother was still with us, she used to make a dish that was quite good. It was a layer of stewed Tomatoes, a layer of Saltines, another layer of Tomatoes and another layer of Saltines, until it was about 3 inches thick. Then she would top it off with a layer of Velveeta (sp?) Cheese that completely covered the top. She would bake it until the Cheese started getting Brown around the edges. We loved it. I don't know if it was because it was cheap or if it really was a dish of choice, but us kids would fight over the pieces with the Browned Cheese on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom used tons of Velveeta cheese for everything. So much so us kids thought that was what real cheese was. Dave.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 When I was young, if you had a minimal income Free Cheese was one of the things available for the asking. Velveeta was the Cheese. If I recall correctly, one family I knew could get 6 lbs. at a time. Velveeta was invented in 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrB Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Mom used to make spaghetti from the Chef Boyardee kit that came in a small box.. We thought that was spaghetti should taste like. Don't get me started on the frozen chicken and turkey pot pies that always seemed to have a few feathers and bones thrown in.. Mom could cook though but when quick had to be quick that's what we had. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom could cook though but when quick had to be quick that's what we had. My mother used to use a box of Kraft Spaghetti Dinner as the basis of her spaghetti recipe. She would add more spaghetti, cheese, spices and such, but there was always that box of Kraft Spaghetti Dinner in there somewhere. To this day, I still by a box of the stuff and make it occasionally. I don't know what they put in their spice blend, but I've always loved it. And for the record, we never, ever, ever, ever used tomato paste to prepare it. It was usually a jar of Ragu Meat Flavored Sauce, with a can or two of Hunts tomato sauce to stretch it out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Czervik Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Pomi tomatoes in a box. Don't buy canned tomatoes in a tin, just don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinspeed Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 These are the gold standard packaged by Stanislaus, if you can find them at a local restaurant supply house you won't be disappointed even if they a little pricey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenoF250 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I drive through Sacramento during tomato season and pick them up off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
