You know me too well. Problem for this video is my Sunday Gravy takes 4 hours to make.... 2 days until sunday! That Rao's stuff ain't have bad though. Patsy's is my fav though...

Thank you. I'm not getting rid of it. I have been like this my whole life. It's too late to change now. I'm just trying to streamline a bit. Working and talking, not just talking with nothing getting done. Not everyone has good taste as you... some people find me annoying, believe it or not 🤔

@@howtocooke 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good to know. If there is any place that will have a one off location, it's Florida! They had the first Whataburger outside Texas way back when. These owners must have loved going to Florida and making it a tax right-off!

They use Citric Acid in their recipe. That is not a very common thing for people to have around the house so I subbed in lime juice. It does have a slightly different flavor and kudos for picking that up. You can buy Citric Acid on Amazon if you want a more accurate flavor. Just use a tiny amount though. It's really potent!

It went back on the stove on low until it started to simmer. Give it a stir and let it heat another 10min or so and then it's ready to use.

@@howtocooke Thank you sir, I've got all the ingredients ready for tomorrow! cheers from Texas.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I mean that in the kindest way. I really appreciate the feedback. I want to get better at this so that does help me a lot. Thank you.

The steel can take the abuse just fine. I use an aluminum peel and not a scratch.

Tommy's stopped making their own chili several years ago. There is an "original" recipe and the new recipe. I was trying to recreate the original from the 1940s and '50s. That was greek chili and had very little Latin influence. The modern chili has a ton of Latin ingredients.

And that video came out over a year ago. It's gotten so much more expensive since then! When the average person can't afford Taco Bell anymore, we're all doomed. Unless you have a great recipe like this... just doing what I can for humanity. 😉

Absolutely! I'm working on but it's been like this my whole life so progress is slow....

@@howtocooke just saying because that’s how you loose viewers ~ you lost me because kept ramming on … and on- good luck!!!

That was basically just salt and pepper and throw on a charbroiler as I recall. I could be wrong but they kept it really simple in those days. Also, teriyaki was crazy popular. Could that have been it?

Msg is awesome! Thanks for the tip. I will try that on my next one

I love those things! They changed the name to the bell beefer after they got sued by the burger mafia. I ate the last 3 they had at the store I worked at when they discontinued it. I made a video about it a while ago.

Steel will generally cost more but they last forever. Stone is more prone to breaking so that is a factor as well.

You can go to the del taco website and see the list of ingredients. Mayo, salt, sugar, buttermilk, no citric acids or malic acid. I promise! I wouldn't do you like that...😉

Sure does! Hormel knows a lot more about chili than taco bell! I am going to be making another updated batch of this soon for my Drive-thru Kitchen channel soon. I missed a step in my recipe here... stay tuned!

My culinary side applauds the resurgence of horseradish is so many dishes like this but my frail, human side is not a fan. Allergic as hell! I bet it was delicious though!

I am so sorry. That is the recipe I got from my swedish neighbor 40 years ago. She said it was her mom's recipe. She was born and raised in Sweden, so I assumed it was authentic. Never trust a swedish woman named Lupe Gonzales!

@@howtocooke Hi. Forgive me for react so strong. But when you sitt and read recepi after recepie from chefs all over the world and there is hundreds of adjustments and all of them sais they got the original and so is the sweds doing. About suger , yes suger was and is expensive. Its used as a treatment often. Americans use suger in everything and lots of it .Sweds nja not so much. Im impressed you dont call our pancakes creps and you are the first and only in the world that have the right pans. Plättlagg and pancake pan in cast iron . The problem with such pans are that they could leak in the bottom because of the cast tecniqe. Tell your mother in law that its a okey recepi but not original. I think pancakes are at least as old as meetballs. If you tilt the pan 15 degreese and pore the batter on the handle side it will fill out the pan to a round nice cake. Mvh.kj

90% of canned red enchilada sauces are not correct for the Taco Bell Red Sauce. The Hatch brand is the closest I have found to the taco bell red sauce but it is still a bit too much chili forward from their sauce. I did a video on my other channel about a tomato based red enchilada sauce that my wife swears is the exact Enchirito sauce. It's really good and super easy to make. Here is the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ncqPbNVn1p-Vd6c.html

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't een know I could do that stuff. I'm an old guy but I'm trying to learn.

I used Monterey Jack and Swiss

Thanks! I did my homework trying to find the secret recipe. Not so secret anymore!

I was really jealous right up until you said $5. Still worth it, maybe.

@@howtocooke They are a core childhood food memory so sometimes yea. But obviously that price point had me looking for an alternative. Highly recommend you put sour cream in them next time. Thanks for the recipe.

You are too kind. Glad you're enjoying the vids. For the record, I don't claim to be a comedian, I just see the whole world as funny (strange).

Absolutely. I have been using that trick for years now. It is kind of the signature Taco Bell flavor. That and Torula Yeast but we won't get into that. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for being here from pretty much the start. Besides Taco Bell (does not count at all!) I haven't cooked in a restaurant. I was a busboy/dishwasher for about a month at a mexican restaurant. Being the only white kid in the place was rough. They apparently did not know or care that part of my family was from mexico... Seeing how hard those guys worked scared off a 17 year old me. Since then I have just been studying as much as I can about cooking. I'm glad you like the recipes!

Thanks. One year ago, exactly since it hit 1000. 3k more this year, 1 million next year! I don't generally like slaw either but on this sandwich it's a must! That spicy kick makes it awesome!

Thank you. I love comments!
