Old Beatrice Foods Recipes

[labboy]

I found this site which has PDFs of old corporate food marketing recipe books. Super interesting and might make for some fun holiday cooking.

Enjoy!

Thanks for positing this link, Bob! The older recipes look especially good to try out, not just for the holidays.

What fun! The LaChoy recipes are interesting--they started in Detroit, interestingly enough but moved out to NW Ohio right after WW2. They had a showplace plant in Detroit that I think is still standing (though disused). Some interesting industrial affairs stuff in the recipe book. Their soy sauce has always been that salty black water industrial type (not brewed like Kikkoman or any brand from the Far East).

Many of the Beatrice brands are now part of Conagra.

Can you still buy Sizzlean? My mom used to buy it in the early 80s. It was really good I think she bought it because it was cheaper than bacon.

No, unfortunately Sizzlelean is no longer sold. I used to love it! It really was lean and very tasty.
