The 1960s had some amazing dishes we'd love for people to bring, dishes such as:

• Beef Stroganoff — Tender sirloin strips with mushrooms and onions in a rich sour cream sauce served over egg noodles, first appearing in the Betty Crocker cookbook in 1961 and becoming THE signature dinner party dish of the decade.

• Noodles Romanoff — A creamy, indulgent noodle side dish made with sour cream, cottage cheese, and cheddar that became so beloved families made it for decades.

• Chicken à la King — Creamy diced chicken with pimientos and mushrooms served in patty shells or over toast points, a classic for ladies' luncheons.

• Savory Meatloaf — The definitive herb-flecked ground beef loaf with ketchup glaze that became a required family dinner for generations of home cooks.
