Description
These were skillet meals like Hamburger Helper,only MUCH better. There was Skillet Lasagne,Skillet Pizzeria and Skillet Mexicana(that I can remember). They had a lot more flavor than Hamburger Helper,and I wish they'd bring them back.

Ohh... I can still remember how good the skillet lasagna was.... The spicing and ricotta based cheese sauce was very unique. I too wish they would bring these back.
I remember these and had began to wonder if anyone else did. The ricotta topping was a mix that was stirred together with milk. Our family loved it. I wonder if it didn't sell well or was obscured by Hamburger Helper. I do wish they would bring it back!
I remember a Hawaiian with sweet and sour sauce. Damn it was good. They included a can of sauce rather than a dry packet. Used to buy it in Florida but hadn't seen it since I moved back to Indiana in 1975. If they brought it back I WILL BUY IT!
Yes, I would love to have the skillet hawaiian again.
Can't believe there's a web site for this!
Anyhow, I remember back in 1976 devouring Hunt's Skillet Lasagna ... wife & I loved it ... did not take 5 years to make (about 30-40 minutes, actually), reasonable price, yet was delicious. Tasted better than any quick lasagna on the market today. I have been pissed ever since Hunts took it off the market, and for 30 years+, I refrain to buy Hunts products. Someone in management should have been fired!
I loved the SKILLET MEXICANA and have craved it for decades. HUNTS; DO YOU HAVE ANY LAYING AROUND THE WAREHOUSE ?!!! Or , you could just bring it back and make alot of folks HAPPY !!!
My brother and I cooked these frequently as our parents worked long hours. Our favorites were the skillet lasagna and skillet stroganoff. My brother is so nostalgic for the Hunt's Skillet Dinners that I bought a magazine ad page off of Ebay last week for Hunt's Skillet Dinner to frame and give to him for Christmas. LOL!
My favorite was skillet stroganoff. We were newly weds on a tight budget and we had it once a week. All of these meals were much better than the various hamburger helper meals.
I agree with all the comments about the Hunts Skillet dinners from the 1970s; I ate them all, loved them, and continue to miss them. Perhaps someone should send a note to Hunts management to view this page. Hint--Hunts could start a cool nostalgic marketing campaign by bringing back its skillet dinners for today's generation of youth to enjoy. And those of us who were fans in the 70s would be thrilled to see them on store shelves again!
I miss the beef strognoff
I ate the Skillet Lasagna all the time! My whole family loved it. And then they stopped making it!
I thought I just imagined that it existed, until I saw this blog!
If anyone has any of the hunts skillet meal, put them on e-bay and see how much attention they get
