$2 Loaded Nachos | But Cheaper 

Seattle would b $80

At this point, y'all gotta be trolling...

Its a fudged number because its like "20 servings". I just ignore the price aspect and just take it as a recipe video.

I agree a breakdown of the shopping list would be a cool addition, but I can see why pouring over the receipt might be difficult to integrate with the format. Maybe if they were to film the shopping too it might be more engaging, but it might be more of a pain to produce.

This is how I ruined my queso, a learning moment for sure

omg i never realized this is always what happens to me!!!

I’ve always wondered why tf it always taste like crap!! Thank you!!

This isn't nachos it's salad chips.

But do you fold the cheese?

Sorted Food does a series called the grocery shop challenge that does that

@@JaneAustenLover1 also their meal packs app^^

Sorted Foods meal pack app is exactly what youre looking for

My fridge doesn't keep stuff good for one week but I noticed if I buy corn edamem sweet pea carrot stirfry veggi on frozen packs that saves more and reduces waste. Ideally you need to buy some ingredients to make food last for two days and buying more without plan makes unfortunate amount of left overs often end up in trash. For me I don't compromise healthy food because it may end up few bucks more expensive. Fun fact organic rows are more potent to get discounts. You can make a soup for Monday Tuesdays a salad with remainings of soup for another two dinners a vegetable grill ( take vegetables same day from discounted shelves and use same day) use remaining of veggies for a fish recepie. Adding rich salads not only reduces hunger for snacks but also manageable. You still have to spend some time preparing ingredients and maybe buy toppings in sales or bulk such as walnut cranberry chia seed cheese and bread crumbs. Nuts and dried fruit doesn't go bad quickly and gives much flexibility to prepare stuff. A bulk dried peach cost less than 10$ can be made into nice dessert. Avoid buying coke icecream and any already prepared desser. A bread maker also saves money not to buy expensive breads.

Well for this you can have nachos, chips and dip, tacos, you could get some bigger tortillas and make burritos and chimichangas, hell, you could make a Crunch wrap. Add some variety to all of your dishes by making different sauces. A lime Crema, a Chipotle sour cream, maybe you some Taco Bell sauce or just some of your favorite hot sauce. Basically just make Mexican food. You've got all the ingredients

What cheese (:

What cheese

@@juli-de8nu cheddar obvi

wouldnt evaporated milk dilute the dairy flavor of the cheese?

Interesting I’m gonna have to try this

Oil is reusable

@@husenboriwala5110 good point. I forgot most people do it mb. Btw, a quick health tip is to try to minimise the times you reuse it. Oil fats become trans fats under heat

@@husenboriwala5110 you have to go purchase oil to have it in the first place lol

@@stamatisvragas7720 WHAT ARE YOU, TRANSPHOBIC?!?!?!?! lmao

@@mattstanislen3165haha so funny 😐

this would be great

Do you know Sortedfood? They are a RU-vid channel and they made a few cookbooks, including Can’t be arsed to cook. Exactly the concept you’re describing!

takeout at that point

I really like this idea!!

Well if it’s easy his whole thing is that technique makes it taste better so it wouldn’t taste that good and there not even that hard in the first place

Was it the queso in the white/clear plastic with the green lid?! If so, that stuff is SOOOOO good omg

wow that sure tasted good

It’s nachos?

Man, that's why he has over 6! MIL! Subscribers!

You should see his other nacho video

C'mon now, this isn't a bad recipe by any means, but the the toppings aren't even scoopable. There's a reason why the tomatoes and onions are usually small diced and put inside the sauce, so you can actually scoop them with a chip. It's probably still delicious, buy if you were to serve this at a party, the onions and tomatoes would stay on the plate.

@@uwirl4338 he can fix that by adding some beans, like a cement that will fix everything to the chips, and still butcheaper

it would probably be a bit cheaper too since it has to be more accessible

I agree but I think he's too much of a perfectionist to make more basic versions lol

Not to mention that a bag of tortilla chips is 3-4 bucks vs the 2 dollar thing of tortillas, but he uses 4 dollars of oil to cook the homemade chips.

additionally, frozen vegetables keep more vitamins and good shit than "fresh" stuff that lies around in stores and shit not that anyone planning to follow this recipe gives a shit about eating healthy IM JUST SAYING EAT FROZEN VEGGIES IS GOOD

I cook the meat with onions, add 1/2 pack taco seasonings, top nachos with meat, shredded cheese, tomato 🍅, a little sauce, lettuce, sour cream and green onions, I grow them and tomatoes The Easy way for me

Is the taste really that different?

I make them quicker by baking them, brush some oil on both side of the triangle tortillas and bake at 410°F for like 10 minutes, you can make 2 trays. They're so crunchy and perfect with like a 10th of the oil you would usually use.

$50!! Wtf where do you live bruh that insane

@@Ghost-hs6qq Germany lol

@@Ghost-hs6qq some states in america are hitting 6+$ for 87 and some have hit over 10 for 91+

😂

just make it smaller yourself

This is obviously a serving

It's nachos, you eat them all then regret everything.

and it's only 2 bucks more than the lil nacho bell grande from taco bell!

that kinda doesn't make any sense though, even for one person, why would you spend 30+ minutes for just ONE SERVING of a dish when you can make 4+ servings in the same amount of time?

@@oulafursson some don't like eating the same thing twice.

It is simply not economical. Dunno where you live, but buying stuff for one person is 1st expensive, 2nd impossible unless its like one steak and bag of veggies. Me and my roommates back in uni learned very quickly that it is way better to cook for the others. Little waste, diverse food, cheap as fuck that way.

Halfing a recipe sometimes works, but I’ve found freezing certain prep items helps split servings into smaller portions. For instance, I’ll make a pound or so of taco meat, then portion and freeze any leftovers. If it turns out particularly good, I’ll note that on the container. It’s way better than store bought frozen foods.

You could just divide by two.....

your wish has already been granted

@Meghan Yes

@@r0e404 I know, I was joking

This is what’s important

Yeah, shredded cheddar is all I need. Hate the saucy stuff.

The little pizza style nachos are tedious to make but far more desired.

what's the difference I'm confused

It can also be an option to just keep the nacho's separate while scooping toppings and sauce. (assuming they're not very dry toppings anyway) Cheese that isn't liquified might have to go onto the nacho's, though, which is also a bit impractical if they stick together and steal each other's cheese when separating. My favorite super quick and simple way is probably to just put grated cheese and thin jalapeno slices on individual nacho's that are spread out across a flat surface, then dip in whatever dip you want. No meat but that's a lot more hassle when you're super lazy making the nacho's, can just finely chop some onions and whatever to put into the dip too.

A restaurant I like puts a thin layer of chips on the tray, then mounds the layers of dip in the center, then makes a ring of more chips around the mound. It’s pretty awesome. Choose your own adventure for sure

@@megatronusorionpax4900 if you layer them the bottom nachos may get soggy

Sodium citrate is great stuff. A sauce just made of cheese and water, without any flour, milk, butter or anything else. Grate the amount of cheese you want, use 93% of that weight in water and 4% in sodium citrate. Dissolve the citrate in the water, bring it to a simmer and then slowly stir in the cheese (Use a immersion blender if you're making a bigger batch). A great combination is aged cheddar, aged gouda and pepper jack in whatever ratio you like.

Good tip. The reason he's using the American is also to add emulsifiers. Technically, you can also skip the American cheese and add a mild cheddar if you are adding sodium citrate. I do find it adds a detectable little sour note, so I'll sometimes do the flour mornay method he used. Plus, this was a "but cheaper" episode, and most people don't have enough uses for it to keep it around. That said, I also keep the stuff around for cheese sauce, so I totally get where you are coming from.

And as an added bonus, the chemical formula for sodium citrate is Na C H O

I would BINGE WATCH THEM

It will in the US too, everything went up and gas too. You can barely buy food with a 20 dollar bill. The avocados already cost 2 bucks themselves without anything else. The oil to fry the chips cost 7-8 bucks if you get the off brand.

Welcome to price gouging capitalism

@@steampunkmagpie777 not only its expensive in canada, but in Québec its worst than the rest of canada because our taxes on products are crazy high (even on local products) We talk about 15% taxes Im pretty sure people in the US pay their canadian product less than we do

@@kartonlaboite6843 I'm so sorry to hear that

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT

But the FRESH nachos aren’t to be beat.

Agreed. How does he not figure in the cost of 1.5 quarts of oil????

@@robertfolsom1 It's probably because they figure the oil is reusable. The same oil could be used for many meals. They should probably prorate that though. Canola oil is $8/gal at the store here. I would figure on gallon would be good for 4 meals conservatively (filtering the oil between each use). So that should add $2 to the cost, by my estimate. Just went back to check. The oil probably should count even cheaper. He ends up using 1.5 liters, which is the small container here, and it probably is reusable a few times. At $3.5, if we say it can only be used twice, that's $1.75, thought it's probably more like $1.

@@lrom5445 whoa whoa whoa there buddy, you are supposed to shit on the concept of but cheaper not make sense of it.

you have to dedicate time to go to the store as well..

what if it cost $15

The content is misleading as fuck.

@@thomasdeignan1914 what if it cost $50

@@Sil3ntKn1ght yeah like I don't care about the price either but the content is extremely misleading lol. Like if i were to make this specific recipe now i would have to buy the 80/20 ground beef, corn tortillas, american cheese, american cheddar cheese, a can of chipotle adobo, the avocado etc. That is easily gonna cost me way more.

I'm annoyed at his price points because they are very unrealistic

It's easy if you have a food processor or even a cleaver

no possible way to make tortillas cheaper than they cost in texas lol... don't forget to value your time... you can get a pack of 300 tortillas for like $2.... maybeeeeee you'd break even on ingredients..... only logical reason is if you have allergies... but corn is usually pretty safe and its even gluten free + vegan...
