What's in the Fridge: Jalapeño Popper Mac & Cheese | Basics with Babish

- This week, we're doing something a little crazy. If you're taking the time to read the video description, hell I'll just be real with you: I've been in a creative slump the past few months, and since making some work-life changes, have been feeling a ton of new energy. Yesterday I had a wild hair up my ass and I realized that even though we had no Basics shot for today, I was hell-bent on getting one done anyway. So we decided to improvise, and what resulted was a lovely creative exercise in resourcefulness, one that kept me glued to my edit suite until 2AM like I was back in film school. I hope you find it a little entertaining, a little fun, a little both - thank you for watching, because not only was it fun for all of us to make, it gave me some space to feel like myself again.

"Bumbling with Babish" is a series that needs to continue.
YES!!!! This series needs to happen every week!
Babbling with Bumbish
And if its not the best tasting, Bungled with Babish
yeah, maybe once a month
Genius
It's strangely reassuring to see that even professionals can have science projects in the forgotten corners of their fridges.
To be fair, his is there because he went on vacation. You and I are just lazy
@@kaldo_kaldo Those stuff were there for months before they went on vacation though
*Flashbacks to Brad's cured egg yolks*
*flashback to the Cowboy Bebop episode Toys In The Attic*
Professional 😂😂😂😂 ya right
This is such a cool idea! Would love to see this series continued.
Same here!
Ya when I read the title I thought "ok we're getting out of basics territory here." But no this concept is about as basic and useful as it gets
This is the real "Basics with Babish". It's X hours until dinner and I don't have anything prepped....
BUMP
I would imagine where this series would happen maybe once or twice a month where groceries are running low and you still have to find something to make quick and easy
I hope this inspires a series! I love recipes that are thrown together with leftover ingredients
^^^^^^^^
^^^^^
^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (because, apparently, that is the only possible response to Eden)
This is real cooking, not having anything but still slapping something delicious together😂👌
Guys he went for milk & more american cheese, count the slices, life is always eaier with a crew, props to the ream that made this look so easy.
@@dianapovero7319 this looks easy because it IS easy. Are you kidding? The dude just made mac and cheese
For the record, he's totally right about American singles. Don't use them for the "flavor." But they're kind of magical when tossed into a savory sauce, like for noodles, or soups and stews. They add a little creaminess, while also encouraging everything to bind together.
It's the sodium citrate, which is an amazing, food-safe emulsifier.
Also probably the reason he didn't get a nice cheese stretch.
I once saw a video where J. Kenji Lopez-Alt said, "If sausage is considered meat, then American cheese can be considered cheese," and it just about blew my danged mind.
So what you're telling me is that they are the duck tape of food
For an even better idea, pick up some American cheese at the deli for this. Don't just use Crystal Farms or Kraft wrapped in cellophane.
This was great! I usually find I’m lacking ingredients, so more “what’s in the fridge”s would be awesome!
Yep.I can make great food when I plan. My weakness is when I haven't made a plan and I have to throw together something from what I already have.
That's adulting. My aunt always complains how she plays "chopped" every night and was never given any money for it.
look up the website supercook, you can add whatever ingredients you have and itll tell you a bunch of things you can make
I second this
A seasoning basics would be cool. Making different mixes that can pair with several dishes or proteins with various cultural cuisine themes. And how much is the average pinch of salt? Test everyone’s “pinch volume” in the babish kitchen and maybe some other TH-cam friends too. I know season to taste is the way to go… but, content
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS THIS WOULD BE SO COOL
I needs this, please do this
it would be so cool if they got a group of youtube chefs together to test pinch volumes and stuff. maybe make it a competition
Honestly, I love this idea.
It's not exactly the 'Broke with Babish' budget meals some of us have been asking for, but getting more content with more improvised or leftover quick meal ideas would definitely be appreciated! :D
Enough with the broke with babish. There are hundreds of budget cooking channels. Hasn't the man given you enough? This is for people who want to elevate their cooking
If you want that might I recommend Adam Ragusea?
Unlike Babish, he's actually self-aware.
@@NathanTAK wym by babbish isn't self aware? Did he do something wrong?
A last minute put together episode still comes out as a better quality video then most cooking channels on TH-cam
No wonder. This video category is overrun by content farms more focused on making visually interesting clickbait-viseos than replicable recipes.
@@JuMiKu as well as special people like Heston…
@@JuMiKu exactly why i respect babish so much
This is a fun idea. Can't wait to see more!
A year or two ago did u go to Portsmouth in England because I swear I saw u and your girlfriend in a red car …
Immediately into this idea. As a person who watches and follows lots of recipe videos I'm not very practiced at "improvisational" and "use up what's left" cooking, so it would be super cool to see more examples of that
Please, more of this. It’s all to relatable for a lot of people.
Hey I think a bot stole your comment
Yep, yep they did..
Gotta love the complete lack of hesitation between smelling the cilantro and tossing it away.
My culinary secret that I'm so proud of, I cut my scallions in thin strips and roast them on a super low heat until they're dry, I then grind them into a powder and it's a super amazing flavor booster
I like this concept!
What you could do is make it a monthly/bi-monthly thing, where you check what's left of the episodes and think up something :)
Honestly, this is one of the best basics episodes because it shows that you can make something cool out of whatever you have laying around and you don't have to do a "recipe." You can just make it up as you go along and end up at a satisfying destination.
The transition from Normal Babish to Voiceover Babish at 3:40 is jarring, to say the least.
I love these unedited/voice over videos. They just seem more authentic and.. Well.. Down right hilarious! 😂
2:01 Andrew's reaction when he smelled the cilantro 😭 Love this concept! Would be great to see it grow into a regular series.
This is my formal request for a chopped style episode where Kendall and Jess go to the store and bring you back a surprise ingredient that you need to make edible
I love how this video has the cursed chaos of botched along with the genuinely informative quality of basics, need more
Fell off my chair laughing.. "enter from the rear" with millisecond pause.. Gold.
Love this idea for a show Babby. I always struggle with using up leftovers. More of this please.
This isn't what we normally get from the basics series, but I think it gets right to the heart of what "basic" really means in the kitchen
Big fan of this episode, I've always wondered what a series of this kind would look like. Once a month mish mash of previous episodes leftovers made into something yummy. Hope you make another one!
The music in these videos is the most comforting background music I have ever listened to
I honestly would love to see more of this.
This feels like a Botched and Basics crossover and I'm here for it!
I used the old Babish ( and JW) Mac and cheese vids to develop my own jalapeño popper Mac and cheese! I’m eager to see how it compares to this one!
It’s more fun when you’re casual about everything!
"When you're making a cooking show, you wanna sort of enter from the rear."
Nice one.
I'd love to see a series where viewers/patrons submit a list of things in the fridges and you pick one st random to see what you can make with it
This is actually pretty brilliant. I would love to watch more like this you guys. Take more holidays or something
5:05 "Add the pasta of our choice. I really recommend rigatoni because it's all we had."
Truer words have never been spoken.
The absolute best idea for a cooking show ever invented. Keep this rocking with other peoples kitchens and equipment
Thanks for your dedication to our basic knowledge 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I would love to see this format return! It would be a fun thing to see every once in a while. Very fun video!
I love how you and the team basically filmed a serious (and well-executed) version of the "Technically a Meal" sketch from CollegeHumor
Andy: “Cilantro.”
Also Andy: *YEET!!!*
I do love these behind the scenes bits, also makes for an easier to replicate recipe for most home cooks.
4:43 had me in tears 😂😂. Great series idea!! Hoping to see more of this.
We need more chaos like this. Please. This year demands it.
The appearance of that cast iron skillet makes me feel loads better about myself. Thanks for that.
Best thing is, I've been craving for some Mac and cheese, store bought and restaurant made hasn't been doing my tastebuds any justice 😭
Could now see this becoming a new series. I loved it.
This is an invaluable exercise for anybody who cooks, professionally or domestically.
I love how this episode perfectly showcases the stark contrast between chaotic high energy Live Andy vs calming and soothing Voiceover Andy.
I really love the idea of this episode. Seeing ways to use leftovers and pantry staples is always interesting.
Spicy Mac and Cheese? YES PLEASE!! 😋
I like this casual thrown together style
This is probably the best way to start this series
How this hasn't happen before is astonishing! So down for this to be a series!! ❤️
What was an unforeseen set of circumstances turned out to be a potentially great new series! I hope to see more of it :)
This felt like a cross between basics and botched, and I love it.
Impromptu meals are often the best I've ever had in my life.
Definitely had fun watching! Would love to see more impromptu recipes.
I'd love to see more basics in this style, that also show the types of things you're keeping an eye out for or considering as you parse through ingredients.
this should definitely be a recurring series
I love this Improvising a meal based on what random ingredients you have readily available is a really useful skill.
This was super fun, I hope you make it an every-vacation challenge tradition! Nice to see you smile, goof, and even mess up a lil bit like us normal folk.
This should be a once a month series so that it keeps the idea fresh since you guys go through ingredients a lot.
Please do more of this. I think we can all relate to this kind of last minute cooking. This was awesome.
“We have a single Kraft Single”
Adds 3 slices into the Mac & cheese
I know you've done ratatouille from Ratatouille, but I'd love to see more recipes from that movie. Remy's soup, sweet bread a la Gusteau/Remy (make both versions to compare how much Remy improved it), cake from the garbage, etc
love how your BCU channel evolved over the years 🥰
You've become that big! I love it. I love the fact that you can just relax. And just create an experience that you, and we all love.
Its always a delight to watch your videos. Thanks for doing your best.
I genuinely hope this becomes a thing. Loved this episode!
Please keep this going! Love the idea and the fact you showed your imperfections. Who doesn’t have some moldy citrus 🤣
Please more! love this, especially love the improv live audio stuff, makes it a lot more relatable and chill :)
I do appreciate you have a legit slate and not just clapping or a piece of paper
Please recreate Ralsei’s cake from deltarune
Looks like I’m making this later!
a cleaning episode would be the most basic of basic episodes you could do and i wouldn't mind learning some more cleaning tricks
The random, crazy wackiness of Botched, mixed with the orderly, satisfying charm of Binging. This was a great one :D
Make peas in a can pie from spongebob
Man, if I had a dollar for every time I forgot to use my left over caviar 😂
An amazing dish, just "thrown together", nice. Funny too.
6:54 I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
pregnant pause 🙈
Well I think you stumbled onto a great idea. Being able to throw together a meal with ingredients you have definitely counts as "basics" (IMO). Could even rope Kendall into an episode for advice when you're not scrambling to post a video 😂
please do more of this. very practical and real. I love it
This vid has a “Last minute group work but ended up being the best presentation” vibe.
Been eating these my whole life, glad to see them being introduced to the world 🇨🇴
Sausage Casing? Is the crossover with Ordinary Sausage finally coming?
The improv-panic dinner is something I encounter on a regular basis
The Kendal limbo was spot on.
I want this, in my belly, like rn
and bro hasnt even finished video yet
Please do the Steak and Donut Sandwich from Family Guy.
Love that in the middle of a chaotic episode, Andrew is casually whipping a Batman GMT. Iconic.
new drinking game: take a shot every time babish says "viable"
ain’t ever been this early before
I love this, but I have a question. What makes this Jalapeño *Popper* Mac & Cheese, and not just Jalapeño Mac & Cheese?
The cream cheese?
Cream cheese and bacon
Jalapeño poppers are an appetizer made with bacon, cream cheese, and jalapeños. I guess the addition of the bacon and cream cheese makes it a proper Popper Mac.
@@devinbudewig7760 Proper popper mac. That's fun to say.
Proper popper mac. Proper popper mac.
@@frogpaste Ok now you've got me trying it out loud. That is funny.
This feels natural and less forced! A fun video, dude. Great work.
Sorry to hear about the slump, and kudos for mixing up your work/life balance and finding a new spark. I honestly don't know how youtubers keep coming up with ideas and keeping channels fresh for years, and you have knocked it out of the park. I'm loving the more casual vibe in some of the recent videos.
Take care of yourself!
First
No
True
Confirmed
Wow, "first" comment that's *actually* first.
When I saw this pop up on my feed, I thought this was a new series and I was here for it.
Glad to hear that the production process made you feel better again! Loved it!
That transition to basics was amazing.
love the resourcefulness episode style! always helpful to learn how to figure out stuff to make from nothing!
