🧀 If you could pour this creamy cheese sauce on ONE thing besides enchiladas, what would it be?
👇 Drop it in the comments — I’m stealing ideas for the next video 😏
I bet enchiladas would also go well with white gravy because that's stuff makes everything better!
Liked & Hyped!!!!
Chimichangas are better. 🤪🤪
Just put it in a bowl, hand me a spoon and I'll be fine!
cold milk into hot roux is incorrect…always go hot milk into hot roux
Proud of you Johnny for the change to the induction cooking. Lot of cooks cannot because they get stuck on how they learned on gas. Can you do a segment to compare contrast making a sauce on one versus the other??? Easier / harder ? More /less control ? Cost/convenience ? What’s your recommendations ?
Now we need a recipe for queso fundido!
Looks good and I will make this soon. Always use white pepper in white sauces
Thanks for something that looks good and is simple to make!
sending this to my brother rn, were making enchiladas soon♡ following u vc the way you explain how to cook and prep is very autism friendly for me
I suppose I can use queso fresco vice cream cheese.
My biggest pet peeve are soggy enchiladas. Wouldn’t this result in that?
🥴🤢🤮🥴🤢🥴🤢🤮
I bet that would also be awesome on Fried Chimichangas 😋😋😋
Well, that will teach me to watch these late on Saturday night because now I want chicken enchiladas! Those look great.
I have an idea for a new video if you’re interested. The video title is below. The golden syrup he uses is available in grocery stores in the US. I bought some in the 90s. It’s not an exotic ingredient. You may be able to substitute corn syrup. I have a phenomenal fried chicken video recipe that I can direct you to in order to finish out the project.
