The reason I love this series is because he always uses simple cooking tools that I already have at home versus other cooking channels where they use fancy tools that cost hundreds of dollars

I love your channel! I would buy a cookbook if it was available

Chicken Tot-Pie

Making this tonight. I have a Sam's rotisserie chicken that needs to be used. Gonna shred it for this meal and use the bones in a pressure cooker to make broth for later. Then re pressure the bones again until they turn to mush, add old veggies that would be thrown out, run through a blender and pushed through a stainer, pip it on dehydrator trays and make doggie treats. 100% 0 waste

You know I actually love the editing team on this. Or whoever makes up the fun bits inbetween Frankie actually cooking and being awesome. I don't normally care about the extras in videos but it's fun.

2 things. First, love the sauce packet idea. I did it with all of the packets we have (a small box) and organized it the same way. Works like a charm and I'm using stuff up. Second, this recipe is THE 💣💥. My husband and I ate this up. He went for seconds! Thanx for the recipe. You know your stuff!

I bet biscuits on top would be just as awesome

After watching this via Snapchat, I HAD to find it again, saved and will make assp!! This may be my favorite of all taste made history, lol...and Frankie is loaded with anti struggle ideas, humor and wit which keep me coming back for more!!! 👌🏽😘😘💖🙏🏽

You actually managed to make hot dish look not terrible. You the man Frankie 👍

Frankie, I just got out of a five day hospital stay for my heart and this is the first video I saw, made my day! Thank you!!

WAT no DROP THE STOCK WOWOWOWOWOW moment? Eh well.

We call tater tots, potato gems in Australia. I eat them with salt and vinegar. 😋 delicious

I nominate an episode to unusually good foods or ways of doing certain dishes. Example i like enchiladas so i have a recipe that uses doritos and can foods. Its cheap, quick, simple as can be not to mention its an unusual combination that works

I really like this recipe. I’ve never used tater tots in many years but I’ve made this for my family at least 4 times recently and we all really enjoyed it.

It’s amazing. I watch and re- watch struggle meals when I want to make something yummy and thrifty!

I found this channel about a week ago and it has been so great! I love the money saving tips and cooking education. You're amazing! And so funny.

Love this recipe, Chef Frankie Celenza! I love your techniques using simple tools and cooking tips. Thanx!

Absolutely love that you explained how to make your own version of "cream of chicken" essentially. I've been wanting to cut down on using processed/canned foods and this can be used in so many different recipes!!

You explained a bunch of French cooking terms I only kind of understood SO clearly and easily in only the first half of the video! Amazingly helpful videos!

Omg dont stop what your doing your amazing. I love watching you cook. You give me so many ideas and make me laugh.

Love the cooking show. I keep a lot of food staples that he used in my kitchen.

I keep freezer bags for bones and veggie scraps. When they fill up I make broth. I even have the bones from a couple of smoked Boston Butts that will go in red beans and rice later. Free flavor!

So much fun to watch! I can strictly just watch your cooking KZfaq channel all day.

Love this cooking show. As. First time mom, this has helped me cook some meals while juggling a baby. I no longer work full time so we are definitely on a budget.

I like that I can make this gluten free and my family really like it too. Thank you Frankie .

Frankie struggle🍴meal always the best..😎👍💰

This food scream "I am depressed and also i like to cook"

Bruh this is my favorite thing you've ever made.

I wouldn't put the skin in the finished dish because I don't like the texture when it's cooked with liquid, but I do keep it with my stock material where it adds a lot of flavor. My husband would love this - pot pie and tater tots - right up his alley :)

Oh God I need to make this asap. Looks sooo good!

Straight up awesomeness!

That looks amazing! Thanks, Frankie!!!

I'm guessing hash browns can be used instead of tater tots? (in the UK where tater tots aren't really a thing)

Another thing I appreciate about this recipe is being able to make the sauce gluten free. So good.

Mmmm....that looks comfortingly delicious, Frankie!

It's like a chicken shepherds pie

Always enjoy your channel. This looks good enough to eat. I love chicken potpie/casserole. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Shoutout to the Mitch Hedberg reference

yum thank you for giving me a dinner idea. making this tomorrow for sure

I love doing a lot with a little on my channel and you did a great job! great video!

I love this recipe.

Looks so amazing!! I've been looking for better alternatives to cream of stuff due to chemicals in it....thanks Frankie!!!

Anybody wondering why the recipe isn’t in the drop down box 😫😢

Have been enjoying your videos.

YEAH NEW EPS

Yes please do a cookbook

I love your idea. Thank you xoxox

Could you put the cube in with the broth or do you have to put in by it self

Good stuff!

What is your background and what led you to start this channel ? Great tips

Love this guy!! :-)))

I LOVE IT

This is genius!

Well done!

Love. The channel

What temperature did you use to bake the chicken thighs???

That Vitas Piggy at the end is

Yummmmm!

Nothing wrong with frozen vege always use them better than fresh sometimes love your channel

Oh yeah

What the frig are tator tots? (I don’t know if that’s how it’s spelled)

Idk if you added it in at some point but just FYI your best option is always fresh fruits or vegetables, but if those are unavailable and you're left with frozen or canned, always go with frozen. Frozen is healthier and not bogged down with preservatives and sugars.

I luv that man hes my saver

Juicy + Juicy = Extra Juicy 😂😂😂

Looks yummy love bechamel

Can I use almond milk as I'm lactose intolerant 😫?

Is there a cliffhanger? But Im in love with... BECHAMEL. You're so hot... dish. Anyway miss your Italian accent Frankie.

4:25 those are Kroger onions!

shout out for the mitch hedberg reference.

How does this freeze?

In Australia the past few years dark meat is now more expensive than white meat.

vegetarian hot dish please!

Keto struggle meals!!!!!!! Please

I kall it Yumminess.

Frankie 😍🥰😘

Tht is the classic 50s and 60s american suburbia meal.

5:36🤣😂funny goofball

Hey Frankie, gimme some of your tots

Make a vegetarian version!

I like this channel, however, I would appreciate it if it wasn't aimed solely at people in the US. I am in the UK and we don't have tater tots 😞 I suppose I could top this recipe with mashed potatoes, but thats a lot of extra work. Any suggestions?

Where is the cookbook Frankie? 😂

Curious, what part of the country calls a “casserole” a “hot dish”?

😋

That looks amazing. But I dont like chewing on fatty meat. I think I would take the meat fat off...but then itll dry out wont it ?🤣. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

MI in a dish

Frankie, can you please stop smashing the pig? He's a real buddy!

I couldn't even get the tater tots for $1.37

You want to put the garlic in last because it only takes a minute to cook and the onions take at least five.

Only one recipe?!?!

veggies dont have bones :)

Use a whisk.

Chicken skin too?

this guy is the good eats alton brown 2.0

Shepherd's pie turned into a tater pot pie yummy

Butter is not frugal

But Monsieur, why did you include the skin of ze chicken?!

This guy watches Babish.

All that work to ruin it with those greasy, GMO, low quality tots...I would just serve it over toast or on top of white rice. Much healthier and tastes even better!

As a human who has baked tater tots in my life, I 100% guarantee you that those tots are not crispy. Also, you can only eat like a quarter cup of that garbage in a skillet because the calorie count is so high.

Nope. Nein. Nyet. Nada. No big French words for me, thanks!
