I want to see a meal prep series. $75 for groceries and you have to create breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the 5 work days. Has to include 3 different recipes for each meal
I feel like "gourmet burger" at restaurants today are like £15 for a relatively decent burger, 6 fries and a small, raw slaw of some kind in a single frond of lettuce. Double points if it arrives on a cutting board, with a newspaper bag of chips shoved in to a metal container of some kind. That's what you're paying for these days - they didn't buy plates.
I took my daughter to McDonalds just the other day, (we live in Maine) I got her the double quarter pounder cheese burger, no bun, with fries and a drink. It was over $15. For 1 person. Sometimes it is cheaper to go to a local place.
It's actually not that long to make. Most of the time is the rising and that's just left to do it's thing. You can make the dough in around 20 minutes or less.
I have a suggestion. I've seen you so many times make but cheaper but you've almost always made it for multiple servings. And the price you show is for only 1 serving. I think it would be helpful if you showed the total price for all the servings or just give a rough idea for how many servings you've made.
@@Eclyptical that's really the only way he can lower the price like he does and even then he's not being completely straightforward. If you don't have the necessary equipment it's always much longer and often more expensive.
The cost for this is variable. It is dependent upon if you’re making single or double burgers as that effects the overall cost of ingredients as the amounts needed would change.
I think I might make the Blackberry drink to sell in October at a bake sale since I gathered a lot of blackberries near me (about 1kg), so would be very cheap.
The thing I like about this series is that I can pick which elements to make from scratch for my own money-saving efforts. Like, I might make a big batch of buns and keep them in the freezer, but I’m much more likely to just buy them. I’m very likely to make my own soda, since I hate lugging home soda from the store and have a Sodastream. I already grind my own burger mix, so I’m very likely to do smash patties this way and really need to get a burger smasher thing like that. I would need to try making the tots once to tell how much better they are than frying some frozen ones. But, the spirit of the series really drives home how expensive/poopy fast food can be and how I can afford to cook at home, as long as I’m careful not to over-buy/waste and feel up to it.
@@Psalm91ArmorUp my condolences that you had been cooking food on fire and even didn't have salt for your food. Life must have been tough. Hope you are doing well now.
@@Psalm91ArmorUp i dont know about you but the only item here i dont currently have in stock is blueberries? maybe pickles and i dont even cook that much
I just made this. My buns didn't look anything like his and I didn't get the timing right so the tots were cold when the burgers were done. The blackberry soda was absolutely amazing! And it was easy to make. Now that I've done this once, I will certainly do this again. Everything tasted great. The made from scratch buns were simply delicious. I learned a burger press is really important because I couldn't get it flat enough with the handle of my burger patty press. And the best part about this? Other than the delicious taste? It was cheap to make. 5 stars!
Hey baybeh, so I don't have a burger press when I make burgers so here's what I do, portion out your raw meat balls, take one between two parchment papers and use a rolling pin, or heavy pan/pot to flatten Them. Then take one parch meant paper off, season one side as you desire and put the flat patty on the cooking surface of choice and have a great time
I like that these are meals we can make, instead of just one thing. If theres enough of these there will be a pretty decent variety of mix and match options. Good way of sneaking in drink recipes too in case one doesnt want to make a video on just that.

Our standard burger at home is ground sirloin, medium, on your brioche recipe buns. 1/4 pound burgers topped with American deli slices and crispy bacon. We use mayonnaise on the top roll, mustard and ketchup on the bottom roll, with onions, pickles and fresh jalapenos on the bottom, lettuce and tomato on the top, and they are a brutal attack on any kind of fast food or restaurant burger. Your brioche kicks ass. Can I say that on TH-cam?
This looks amazing thanks. I’ve never considered making my own buns before! This has inspired me to give it a try. You constantly inspire me to improve my own content. I’ve learnt a lot from this channel and can’t thank you enough. Thanks from a fan in the U.K 🙋🏻♂️😀
Man, I've got to stop watching these at nght! Your videos make me so hungry; even for things I don't normally eat. Thank you for just being awesome! You inspire me to make things I would never attempt otherwise. Blessed Be!
I would love to see you make the most technically difficult thing you know how to make/have made. I always love seeing the more technical side of cooking.
Fellow Texan here!! I would LOVE to see you make a Jalisco's Burrito. I'm talking burrito, choice meat, the works, topped with gravy, and shredded cheese. You know the one.
Would you ever consider doing a video on a EBT/Food Stamps budget? I never see any bigger food channels actually talk about this, even though a lot of people use them. I know some would argue that these would work for them, but a good amount of the time these videos don’t take into account actually buying the base ingredients. With food prices how they are right now, it’s hard to actually do stuff like this. Trying to figure out how to feed 4 people on $67 for ingredients for a week (just around $9ish a day) is difficult.
Hey I Recomended skin on chicken thighs. Roast in oven and serve with steamed rice! Cabbage is super affordable too. Maybe green beans? I would have to look to see what a good deal on veg would be.
I also notice whole chickens are cheap so if you have some knife skills you can cut up the chicken and get 8-10 pieces! Rice is always a cheap option and it’s very versatile.
@@jasminep6195 yes agreed. The more fabrication we can do the cheaper the price point gets. Chicken quarters are great price too. Add potatoes to meat mixture to “stretch” the meal. Potatoes in taco meat, meatloaf etc. just remember about the fatty beef (Josh didn’t make the point), but your buying fat. It’s rendering (melting) out of beef. 80/20 is as far as I’ll go with cost. 75/25 makes the juiciest burger but 25% of cost is running down your arms eating the burger… 😍 yum! Lol
@@BrittneeDrummer yesss I love that! There’s so many ways to stretch a dollar even now with prices going crazy. It just takes some more effort and some creativity.
@@jasminep6195 and it’s tasty! lol Didn’t think so as a kid but now I get it and appreciate it. I ate noodles and spaghetti sauce (as a teen) no meat twice a day for months at a time. Better than no food but BLUH lol
When watching this I thought I had the video speed set to 1.5x but Josh was just talking very fast. I like it when he slows down the videos so I can understand what he is saying
We actually want those burgers. It's got everything you're absolutely craving for. The meat seems tender and it goes so well with the melted cheese on top of it.
I love this Channel so much. I tried making these buns once and they rose so incredibly well that the buns were like 6 inches tall when they came out of the oven.
This series is great I just wished they would adjust the prices per item purchased instead of its price adjusted by the ingredient's portion size. Maybe find the cheapest package for that individual item and have that be part of the pricing list. Cuz you can make the most expensive cheese cheap if you just use a pinch of it.
You're always going to have leftover ingredients when you cook, though. A huge part of cooking frugally involves using those later, and that's your own responsibility
Hey there, just a tip for people who watch these videos primarily to relax: Slow down playback to 0.75. The music sounds kind of rough sometimes, but it's a much more relaxed atmosphere. I don't know if it's intentional, or if it happened organically, but I'm getting stressed out at normal speed. At 0.75, the speech mostly sounds more natural and relaxed.
I actually tried making the burger buns today and water to flour ratio was way off for me (unless my scale is being weird?). Instead of a dough, it was more like pancake batter after 5 mins of mixing. 290g water is more like a cup and a half (not 1 1/4 cup as stated in the video). I had to add about another 1/2 cup of flour to the recipe.
Hey Josh, love your work, I would love to see an episode where you make a full day of meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner + optional dessert) for as cheap as possible. I'm trying to cut down my food budget and would love to see how you went about it.
There's an alternate burger you can try.. same technique as what Josh used, but for burger assembly try this. Bottom bun, coat bun with garlic aioli sauce, layer of sharp cheddar, hamburger patty, havarti cheese, hamburger patty, american cheese, and coat the top half of bun with garlic aioli sauce. If you do not have any hamburger buns, but you do have bread, you can turn this into a grilled burger to melt the cheese as well.
less sugar especially, I think like half of his recipes contain like half a kilo of sugar. I get diabetes by just watching cooking channels at this point.
Only one small critique/suggestion when you press a burger on the heat you force out the rendered fat. If you press into salt, onion and garlic powder and black pepper off the heat (i just use a cold small sheet tray) you keep the fat in the burger plus you inbed the seasoning in the meat as well. Also if you add seasoning this way instead of mixing it in ground beef you dont run the risk of over working your meat.
Josh, I truly respect the hell out of the fact that you made everything from scratch, and I thank you for taking the time to show us the way. That being said, I, for one, am far too lazy to make my own buns, soda, and tots. You better believe I'm buying that shit. Papa no kiss?
Buns and Soda? Sure. But if you don't make these tots yourself you are depriving you and your loved ones from an absolutely O U T S T A N D I N G experience.
Just because Josh doesn't have a day job he can lay in bed until noon and then spend the next 10 hours tinkering in the kitchen. Meanwhile, for people who live in the real world there's barely enough time to put a Pop Tart in the toaster. 😂
Working a day job and cooking can go hand and hand. You just have to be creative and actually make time for it lol. Crockpots are a way to incorporate cooking into a busy schedule and meal prepping on an off day would be great as well unless you work 7 days a week 24 hours a day lol.
I fry my onions then place them on top of the hamburger and place the cheese over the top of them. That way the onions don't fall out as I'm eating the burger. The homemade tater tots look delicious, if not a little time consuming. I would just make extra and freeze them.
These videos are making me do double takes at my grocery receipts and reconsider where I'm living. 24 slices of American cheese for $1.65? I just had to drop $7 for the same.
Honnestly these videos are only good for the recipes, the prices are often wrong and half the time he includes equipment that few people have. I don't mind since I mostly watch for the recipe myself but you'll never get the same result for this price.
Joshua, I haven't even started watching this vid, however, you have already won me over with the B role starting as this food looks sensational!! LOVE IT!!
How do you guys do deep frying for cheap? When I do this I had to buy like $20 CAD for oil that I can stretch to 2 cookings, so that’s basically $10 per serving.
If it's not burnt you can re-use it. Let it cool down, strain anything that's in it and use it again. This works best for savoury items as oil can take on the flavour of some ingredients. We used to do this and it saves so much money.
Cheeseburger meal is one of those thing you get because you want something decent fast. But it's a 100% times better when you make it yourself. I wouldn't recommend making your own bread since it's gonna take too much time, just buy some brioche buns abd you'll be set. Loved the tators instead of fries option. And making your own cheeseburger will definitely fired up your smoke alarm so enjoy making it.
Genius! Those tator tots look awsome!!! It all looks awesome! My goodness!!! I have your book coming from Amazon today!!! Can’t wait to try this! Congrats on your cookbook and your amazing youtube channel, Joshua.
0:56 - Audio says 450g but text says 350g, I tried with 350g and it was much too wet. Have added a mix of potato starch and flour to get to correct consistency. Will let you know how they turn out!
Yeah I've got the same conclusion here, tried the same ratio, the batter is pancaky. The hidration is way off. I'm trying to salvage it by adding flour and an egg. This is not his greatest recipe
I found you, when searching for "Baked Mac and Cheese." 🗣🔊"NOW YOU'RE MY FAV." I've always had in mind that; you don't need to buy all those expensive ingredients to make it Ultimate. But I hate that I don't have a Deep fryer. Thank YOU
I think this is your weakest show, i'm interested in trying other videos recipe on the channel, but i'll probly never ever do a "but cheaper" because I live alone and you can't go buy a single item or enough for a single person, instead of showing the price per serving, which tells us fuck all honesttly, you should show the min amount it would cost buying the smallest serving you can buy. if I have to buy a whole bag of flour, pickle jar etc just to make 1 burger i'll end up paying way more, I feel like But cheaper is a good series if you have a huge family or throw party with 20 people all the time. it feels like the approach is like "hey if you're poor you can make nice food for cheap" but it does the opposite effect where i'm telling myself: i'll never be able to afford the ingredients used in this.
This could definitely work for you. You just have to open your mind a little more. All of these ingredients would be about $12-15 (if you opt for 1lb of beef and omit the drink). You can make the rest of the burgers frozen patties since it’s just you and cook them when you want them.
The key is to freeze stuff to make multiple meals out of the same amount of work. I make 8 burger patties, 8 buns, and a bunch of tots and then when I feel like a burger I throw the buns in the oven to thaw, throw a frozen burger on a cast iron pan and then fry the tots straight from frozen at the same time.
I came to this channel for the first time today because who doesn’t want a cheaper burger (if you like them). However, to create this you’ll need: -$199 kitchenaide mixer (you know if you don’t want it to take three times as long-I’m being modest since he has the professional model $399) -$4.99 bulk salt -$16.99 for 2 lbs of beef (cuz you know inflation, not sure where you’re buying beef, maybe wholesale with a restaurant license 😏) -$5.99 pound of flour -$.99 yeast packet -$2.99 2 ounce jar of sesame seeds -$.79 onion -$5.00 jar of pickles (unless your fancy and buy it from the cold bar at Wholefoods) -$5.50 pack of American cheese -$3.99 for pint of blackberries -$5.99 for 5lb bag of sugar ($2.99 if you go with a 1lb box) -$2.99 for two sticks of butter -$3.99 for a jar of Mayo -$3.49 for mustard -$1.50 for potatoes -$7.99 for a liter of olive oil -$.99 for Selter -$20 for the glass pitcher ($12.99 for a Rubbermaid) -$59.99 for a decent induction cook top on Amazon -$55.00 for an okay set of induction cookware -$30 ballpark for all other kitchen gadgetry shown in the video GRAND TOTAL: $418.16 Food to stock the kitchen (before he serving sized everything in the calculation): $84.17 Just to get your first round of burgers will be $10.52/meal. You’d have to make this meal, with your initial food haul, 3.2x minimum and that doesn’t include cost of replacing the fresh ingredients each time you cook, especially the beef! Everyone isn’t iron chef with all the tools, and whose got the time or money for cooking plus buying all the hardware. Some people can make more money in the time it takes to make this meal offsetting any of your perceived savings from buying out. Furthermore, most hardworking people don’t have the luxury to “eat on the cheap”. Another ludicrous Gen Z preaching how easy it is to save money, just to keep the clicks rolling in. You’re out of touch bro. 😎 Plus your personality is a rip off of Harley from epic meal time and your inflated head at 4:54 proves that 🔥
Hey Id love to see a video about fish cakes. ( like for oden maybe easyer ones to make, Iv been looking for recepies on others since there are a ton of different oden fish cakes but no luck. Or Eomuk since those can be easyer to make.) They make a lovely broth :0 iv seen your video on crab cakes and such but would love to see those to. maybe even some more korean recepies.
I made this and the burger the bun and the soda recipes were on point. I boiled my potatoes from cold and then shredded but even after frying they felt raw. Should I just boil the potatoes longer or fry them longer or what?
Should do an episode of Butt Butter for Kool-Aid. Not the finished drink either. A powder that can be stored indefinitely and mixed with sugar and water to make the drink anytime.
I made this, verbatim. A) Phenomenal recipe. I'll never buy frozen tater tots again and the drink was a great alternative to soda. B) it took me three hours, start to finish, and I had to run my dishwasher once. Otherwise, it was incredible.
For those of us that don’t have a successful YT channel and can’t use ad revenue to buy a stand mixer or cutting board counter top or professional vegetable slicer, just go with store bought items and hope for the best.
Challenge for you bro......The perfect homemade Dole Whip.....but i know you can take Disneyland's most addictive thing to the next level....people queue for hours for one of these bad boys
I'd love to see a series of cooking for 1 person since so many recipes are for 4 or more people and converting them can be annoying. Especially from US to UK measurements but Josh tends to use Grams too which is nice

Didn’t think so as a kid but now I get it and appreciate it. I ate noodles and spaghetti sauce (as a teen) no meat twice a day for months at a time. Better than no food but BLUH lol
The tot recipe I've always needed.
Awesome shot out to George Motz !! Love his burger show! Great episode today!! 👏
When watching this I thought I had the video speed set to 1.5x but Josh was just talking very fast. I like it when he slows down the videos so I can understand what he is saying
We actually want those burgers. It's got everything you're absolutely craving for. The meat seems tender and it goes so well with the melted cheese on top of it.
I love this Channel so much. I tried making these buns once and they rose so incredibly well that the buns were like 6 inches tall when they came out of the oven.
This series is great I just wished they would adjust the prices per item purchased instead of its price adjusted by the ingredient's portion size. Maybe find the cheapest package for that individual item and have that be part of the pricing list. Cuz you can make the most expensive cheese cheap if you just use a pinch of it.
I agree - we need meals made with all the ingredients purchased. No one buys 30 cents of cheese. We buy 24 slices at a time :p
You're always going to have leftover ingredients when you cook, though. A huge part of cooking frugally involves using those later, and that's your own responsibility
Hey there, just a tip for people who watch these videos primarily to relax: Slow down playback to 0.75. The music sounds kind of rough sometimes, but it's a much more relaxed atmosphere. I don't know if it's intentional, or if it happened organically, but I'm getting stressed out at normal speed. At 0.75, the speech mostly sounds more natural and relaxed.
I don’t know how that burger looked as appetizing as it did but now I want one 😂😊
OMG I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE STAWWP
Lol , you're everywhere😂
Man, I just love this channel. J-Dub is the best.
I actually tried making the burger buns today and water to flour ratio was way off for me (unless my scale is being weird?). Instead of a dough, it was more like pancake batter after 5 mins of mixing. 290g water is more like a cup and a half (not 1 1/4 cup as stated in the video). I had to add about another 1/2 cup of flour to the recipe.
I think he means 450 grams of flour not 350
You are right @@jacksmith-gv3qi Josh even says it in the moment but the subtitles are wrong
Hey Josh, love your work, I would love to see an episode where you make a full day of meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner + optional dessert) for as cheap as possible. I'm trying to cut down my food budget and would love to see how you went about it.
Tator tots is the recipe I did not know that I needed! And a bread recipe that does not take a day and a half. Ty!
There's an alternate burger you can try.. same technique as what Josh used, but for burger assembly try this. Bottom bun, coat bun with garlic aioli sauce, layer of sharp cheddar, hamburger patty, havarti cheese, hamburger patty, american cheese, and coat the top half of bun with garlic aioli sauce. If you do not have any hamburger buns, but you do have bread, you can turn this into a grilled burger to melt the cheese as well.
Also for the tator tot thingys you can just buy the frozen one allot less effort and also you can stretch it over many meals
Next time, do "Cheapest Chicken Sandwich Meal Ever"!
I love all the videos you make! Your recipes are awesome by themselves but your attitude always brightens my day! Keep kicking butt!
Papa should open his own place so some of us not wanting to cook all the time could come and enjoy!!
Those buns looked AWESOME.
Fun fact, the mincer attachment on a kitchen aid works well for "shredding" the potatoes.
Would love to see a series "But healthier" with recipes that contains less fat and calories but still yummy
tbh this is most definitely healthier than MacDonald's or burger king anyways
Sounds like Blasphemy
@@SFVMTV go back to corporate you undercover Burger king employee 😂
less sugar especially, I think like half of his recipes contain like half a kilo of sugar. I get diabetes by just watching cooking channels at this point.
Ethan Chlebowski might be a good channel for you, he did this exact idea for several videos like a year or two ago
Only one small critique/suggestion when you press a burger on the heat you force out the rendered fat. If you press into salt, onion and garlic powder and black pepper off the heat (i just use a cold small sheet tray) you keep the fat in the burger plus you inbed the seasoning in the meat as well. Also if you add seasoning this way instead of mixing it in ground beef you dont run the risk of over working your meat.
Josh, I truly respect the hell out of the fact that you made everything from scratch, and I thank you for taking the time to show us the way. That being said, I, for one, am far too lazy to make my own buns, soda, and tots. You better believe I'm buying that shit. Papa no kiss?
Buns and Soda? Sure. But if you don't make these tots yourself you are depriving you and your loved ones from an absolutely O U T S T A N D I N G experience.
Just because Josh doesn't have a day job he can lay in bed until noon and then spend the next 10 hours tinkering in the kitchen. Meanwhile, for people who live in the real world there's barely enough time to put a Pop Tart in the toaster. 😂
@@sbcguitarist Actually yeah the tots look pretty doable... but I've always loved the frozen tots too, so I don't think I'd feel like I'm missing out.
Working a day job and cooking can go hand and hand. You just have to be creative and actually make time for it lol. Crockpots are a way to incorporate cooking into a busy schedule and meal prepping on an off day would be great as well unless you work 7 days a week 24 hours a day lol.
Love the addition of drink recipes
The tater tots blew my mind. Do you know how awestruck my children would be if I made tater tots by hand?
I made this and ofc it was delicious! But I want to say the bread 🤌🤌🤌 next level Papa! Ty
I'm more surprised he's getting ground beef for $3.84/lb, even the cheapest ground beef is >$4 where I'm at
I fry my onions then place them on top of the hamburger and place the cheese over the top of them. That way the onions don't fall out as I'm eating the burger. The homemade tater tots look delicious, if not a little time consuming. I would just make extra and freeze them.
These videos are making me do double takes at my grocery receipts and reconsider where I'm living. 24 slices of American cheese for $1.65? I just had to drop $7 for the same.
Honnestly these videos are only good for the recipes, the prices are often wrong and half the time he includes equipment that few people have. I don't mind since I mostly watch for the recipe myself but you'll never get the same result for this price.
@@thomaslequesne5475 OK I'm not from us but I could still realize there was something wrong with the prices
@@thomaslequesne5475 "the prices are wrong" they're not wrong lmao, it's not his fault some people live in areas where things cost different money
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN well I don't know where he lives but I've never seen these prices anywhere.
@@thomaslequesne5475 cool but irrelevant
For the ppl who never baked like me. This bun is hard. I think I just get over stressed when the dough sticks to my hand
I'm curious, is it better to make these faster, less than 10 minute long videos as of late? Any one else notice this?
Was thinking the same! Feel like a lot of the charm in his content has been lost as he's blown up
Joshua, I haven't even started watching this vid, however, you have already won me over with the B role starting as this food looks sensational!! LOVE IT!!
That's cheap, but my electric bill will going up crazy
just found this channel about a week ago and iv probably watched 50 videos love the content
How do you guys do deep frying for cheap? When I do this I had to buy like $20 CAD for oil that I can stretch to 2 cookings, so that’s basically $10 per serving.
Oil is reusable, I've used the same oil for at least 4 or 5 things and of course it takes longer, but a smaller pot helps too.
If it's not burnt you can re-use it. Let it cool down, strain anything that's in it and use it again. This works best for savoury items as oil can take on the flavour of some ingredients. We used to do this and it saves so much money.
I use peanut oil and reuse it 3-4 times. Also helps to use a small diameter but deeper pot to fry it in so you use less oil to submerge stuff.
Cheeseburger meal is one of those thing you get because you want something decent fast. But it's a 100% times better when you make it yourself. I wouldn't recommend making your own bread since it's gonna take too much time, just buy some brioche buns abd you'll be set. Loved the tators instead of fries option. And making your own cheeseburger will definitely fired up your smoke alarm so enjoy making it.
Everything is too expensive these days.
Add in the cost of the mixer....and other fixed costs that most people don't have. It does look good!
Am I the only one that feels like he’s been talking significantly faster in all of his recent videos or am I missing something?
Genius! Those tator tots look awsome!!! It all looks awesome! My goodness!!! I have your book coming from Amazon today!!! Can’t wait to try this! Congrats on your cookbook and your amazing youtube channel, Joshua.
I started preparing this recipe, but then I immediately went over-budget when I bought the stand mixer.
Use your hands. They are free. And the result will be the same.
Just requires a little bit of extra time and elbow grease.
Note. Putting fish sauce in your hamburger mix ups the flavor tremendously. That or fermented tofu.
0:56 - Audio says 450g but text says 350g, I tried with 350g and it was much too wet.
Have added a mix of potato starch and flour to get to correct consistency.
Will let you know how they turn out!
Lol same happened to me as well
Yeah I've got the same conclusion here, tried the same ratio, the batter is pancaky. The hidration is way off. I'm trying to salvage it by adding flour and an egg. This is not his greatest recipe
You should make an episode on how to properly clean dishes. That is also part of the cooking process, one that is often overlooked
greece
Definitely trying this at least once this summer.
Second
Nice
I found you, when searching for "Baked Mac and Cheese." 🗣🔊"NOW YOU'RE MY FAV." I've always had in mind that; you don't need to buy all those expensive ingredients to make it Ultimate. But I hate that I don't have a Deep fryer. Thank YOU
I think this is your weakest show, i'm interested in trying other videos recipe on the channel, but i'll probly never ever do a "but cheaper" because I live alone and you can't go buy a single item or enough for a single person, instead of showing the price per serving, which tells us fuck all honesttly, you should show the min amount it would cost buying the smallest serving you can buy. if I have to buy a whole bag of flour, pickle jar etc just to make 1 burger i'll end up paying way more, I feel like But cheaper is a good series if you have a huge family or throw party with 20 people all the time. it feels like the approach is like "hey if you're poor you can make nice food for cheap" but it does the opposite effect where i'm telling myself: i'll never be able to afford the ingredients used in this.
This could definitely work for you. You just have to open your mind a little more. All of these ingredients would be about $12-15 (if you opt for 1lb of beef and omit the drink). You can make the rest of the burgers frozen patties since it’s just you and cook them when you want them.
The key is to freeze stuff to make multiple meals out of the same amount of work. I make 8 burger patties, 8 buns, and a bunch of tots and then when I feel like a burger I throw the buns in the oven to thaw, throw a frozen burger on a cast iron pan and then fry the tots straight from frozen at the same time.
I came to this channel for the first time today because who doesn’t want a cheaper burger (if you like them). However, to create this you’ll need:
-$199 kitchenaide mixer (you know if you don’t want it to take three times as long-I’m being modest since he has the professional model $399)
-$4.99 bulk salt
-$16.99 for 2 lbs of beef (cuz you know inflation, not sure where you’re buying beef, maybe wholesale with a restaurant license 😏)
-$5.99 pound of flour
-$.99 yeast packet
-$2.99 2 ounce jar of sesame seeds
-$.79 onion
-$5.00 jar of pickles (unless your fancy and buy it from the cold bar at Wholefoods)
-$5.50 pack of American cheese
-$3.99 for pint of blackberries
-$5.99 for 5lb bag of sugar ($2.99 if you go with a 1lb box)
-$2.99 for two sticks of butter
-$3.99 for a jar of Mayo
-$3.49 for mustard
-$1.50 for potatoes
-$7.99 for a liter of olive oil
-$.99 for Selter
-$20 for the glass pitcher ($12.99 for a Rubbermaid)
-$59.99 for a decent induction cook top on Amazon
-$55.00 for an okay set of induction cookware
-$30 ballpark for all other kitchen gadgetry shown in the video
GRAND TOTAL: $418.16
Food to stock the kitchen (before he serving sized everything in the calculation): $84.17
Just to get your first round of burgers will be $10.52/meal.
You’d have to make this meal, with your initial food haul, 3.2x minimum and that doesn’t include cost of replacing the fresh ingredients each time you cook, especially the beef!
Everyone isn’t iron chef with all the tools, and whose got the time or money for cooking plus buying all the hardware. Some people can make more money in the time it takes to make this meal offsetting any of your perceived savings from buying out. Furthermore, most hardworking people don’t have the luxury to “eat on the cheap”. Another ludicrous Gen Z preaching how easy it is to save money, just to keep the clicks rolling in. You’re out of touch bro. 😎
Plus your personality is a rip off of Harley from epic meal time and your inflated head at 4:54 proves that 🔥
Serious??? Thats not his point. Enough said. 🙄
you'll also need at least a $20,000 apartment. Don't forget that. :3
Hey Id love to see a video about fish cakes. ( like for oden maybe easyer ones to make, Iv been looking for recepies on others since there are a ton of different oden fish cakes but no luck. Or Eomuk since those can be easyer to make.) They make a lovely broth :0 iv seen your video on crab cakes and such but would love to see those to. maybe even some more korean recepies.
Cannabis recipe series would be amazing with your culinary skills, let alone all the funny shit you already say. Perfect combo!
one word...GENIUS!!
I have missed you site. I had to reset my I phone so I am looking forward to what you’ve done recently. Thank you.
Your skills is so amazing you can create great food. How about avocado buns with fresh avocado fiilings and patty?
Can you do a freezer meal prep like how to pre make meals that you keep in the freezer and cook when ready
Early for once, this looks amazing. You should do a but cheaper for coffee drinks from Starbucks or that sort of thing
Josh that sody-pop is just luscious!!!!
I stopped eating out because the cost is ridiculously high. Now I just make it myself and it's 1000x better.
I'm gonna need a Part 2 of that cook book my good friend. I need more! lol
well done...now i am hungry.
i like the upbeat B-roll music. more of that please.
I really like the low end in your voice when you say b or p
Meal prep series needed for a week of food pleaseeee
Meal prep vid. Lunches for work and dishes for dinner.
Alright, time to go try this at almost midnight. 20/10 B-roll.
The best part of my Sundays
Meal prep series please!
Burger meals in Australia are about $18-$27 for the burger alone (from a burger shop)
I made this and the burger the bun and the soda recipes were on point. I boiled my potatoes from cold and then shredded but even after frying they felt raw. Should I just boil the potatoes longer or fry them longer or what?
Hey Josh! What do I do with the oil after frying stuff with it? Idk how to dispose of it, or if you use it again..idk, thank you! You are the best ❤
We all came for 5:14.
Honestly Josh needs to a compilation of him saying "B-roll" followed by his top 100 favorite sequences.
Usually, I dont like burgers but damn this looks good, might just have to try and make one someday.
Should do an episode of Butt Butter for Kool-Aid. Not the finished drink either. A powder that can be stored indefinitely and mixed with sugar and water to make the drink anytime.
I made this, verbatim. A) Phenomenal recipe. I'll never buy frozen tater tots again and the drink was a great alternative to soda. B) it took me three hours, start to finish, and I had to run my dishwasher once. Otherwise, it was incredible.
Lucky winner 🎁🎁.....
Josh single handedly trying to put every restaurant out of business showing how to cook good food for reasonable prices.
For those of us that don’t have a successful YT channel and can’t use ad revenue to buy a stand mixer or cutting board counter top or professional vegetable slicer, just go with store bought items and hope for the best.
Add some good rum or whisky to the drink for an adult beverage
Challenge for you bro......The perfect homemade Dole Whip.....but i know you can take Disneyland's most addictive thing to the next level....people queue for hours for one of these bad boys
Really nice video Josh! That burger crunch at the end was soooo good!
I love the incorporation of tots but as a Texan that smash burger is missing things only 2 thing lettuce and bacon
I'd love to see a series of cooking for 1 person since so many recipes are for 4 or more people and converting them can be annoying. Especially from US to UK measurements but Josh tends to use Grams too which is nice
This recipe so amazing! Easy burger but so tasty. Thanks papa!
GOAT of food TH-cam
You’re making great food AND helping people financially. You’re truly the king for that. You don’t get enough appreciation or recognition for everything you do. Seriously. Thank you.
