Who wants burgers filled with cheese and covered in Hunt's tomato sauce? Yeah? ...Anyone?

You can find this gem of a recipe and more in 21 New Ways to Serve Hamburger, a promotional pamphlet released by Hunt's in the 1960s. Every highly enthusiastic recipe features ground beef and a heavy slathering of Hunt's tomato sauce—perfect for the busy housewife trying to feed a family of ground beef and tomato sauce-lovers.

I remember these ads. Wives typically did not work in these days, but I guess they didn't have time to cook, either.
