Authentic Lasagna Nachos - You Suck at Cooking (episode 173). | Transcript:

today we're making authentic lasagna nachos which are neither Italian nor worthy of respect authentic lasagna nachos start with corn chips which we'll make by Smashing a cob of corn into crispy triangular nacho lasagna noodle crisps if you want the blue corn tortilla chips instead just think about blueberries before giving it a smash and careful not to smash too hard or you'll end up with this exploded corn which you do not want since explosions are dangerous now we'll start with our bologan a sauce which is short for Super Bowl inise sauce because it was first invented for the Super Bowl I don't have time today to chop up my onions so I'm just going to give it a nice Italian slam job and we'll just set that aside I've also got this carrot

here which I'm going to give the Royal Mexican Jackhammer and I've got this nice tured Celery Stock which I'll give a firm Ripple smash it's always nice to chop up Celery even more because the best celery is the one you can't even detect I've got some olive oil on medium heat and I'm going to throw in those smashed onions and fry them up a bit before adding the carrot and celery and then cooking them for exactly an amount of time that ultimately doesn't really matter now I'm going to add beef and cook that until it's brown which takes an amount of time that also doesn't really matter too much in the scheme of the history of the universe but also not in the scheme of this recipe I'm adding

a teaspoon or so of flavor glitter and we'll add in some pepper now I'm going to add white wine which definitely isn't rice vinegar because that wouldn't be authentic and now I'll add in the liquid tomatoes I'm not measuring anything because this is a traditional bologan and if you get traditional enough you arrive at the time before measuring cups existed and some recipes call for chicken stock but if that's not authentic then I'm just showing you what not to do here in other words don't add this thing that will make it taste totally awesome just avoid that here's the thing about bolise sauuce you can spend days figuring out the most authentic Italian Banes recipe and then bring that recipe to another

region of Italy and see how many italian suplexes you get yet then I'm adding basil and now we'll add some milk so the sauce will grow up to be big and strong and now you just want to let that simmer with occasional Wang jangling until you're so hungry you break down and order pizza I think my liquids to solids ratios might be off which is only a problem if they turn off evaporation in the simulation parameters now while this meat sauce comes together it's really important not to confuse it with the popular gay dating website meat sauce by the way if you're wondering if I have a bow and a sauce in my book I do not now we're going to make our bashel sauce also known as Italian nacho cheese sauce

you can also just get the version of it in a jar like this but even though it tastes exactly the same I prefer to make the homemade white stuff we'll start with butter for our bashal sauce which is what the bee stands for I'm pretty sure then we'll add our flour and whisk jangle that together until it becomes this combination of both butter and flour since that's what you put in the short form of which is called R after a couple minutes we'll start adding milk and go through the seven stages of bashel Clump itude including oatmeal mashed potatoes and finally hot milk soup M the most important thing when making bashal sauce is to remember not to confuse it with beay watchel sauce okay good I saved the

nutmeg now we'll add in that nutmeg which definitely isn't just cumin because it's a similar color and because that would also taste good and we're just going to keep Wang jangling that until it's there now we're going to take some of this delicious mozzarella cheese which is actually Waka cheese because that's the official authentic cheese of Las on nachos and we're doing this by the book here and we're just going to dismantle that into smaller cheese components and now we'll spread out a layer of triangular crispy lasagna noodles on a parchment papered pan we'll hit that with a protective sprinkling of Waka cheese top that with our super bolon a sauce add on some of that basa

Mel can you check in the Google lasagna has layers so let's make another one Chips cheese bolones bashal cheese and we're going to throw that in the undo on four something hundo for a bit before turning on the broiler for a bit until that cheese starts getting those nice Brown bubbles M then we'll slide that onto a plate and we'll do a little lift and Tuck technique for aesthetic purposes which ultimately won't make any difference and let's give this a try accid lasante
