Please never change! These videos are always so well laid out and easy to follow, I've made dozens of recipes from this channel by now.
Fr love this guy, hes to the point, highly practical unlike the rest of them lol
I agree, 14 items or 5, all meals that ol' Bri posts are situational. Sometimes you want to cook a time consuming masterpiece, other times you don't. He covers it all. I regularly cook Lagerstroms to the point where his name is a verb in my household.
He’s recipe for deep dish pizza has ruined restaurant pizza for me! So much better than what I’d spend $20+ for going out.
100%. I've learned so much from Bri on how to cook. Who are these babies complaining about complicated recipes? His recipes are mostly super approachable for people that enjoy learning to cook at home rather than having to go out.
@@colewelch2086 fully agree! I look forward to cracking into one & enjoying "the fruits of my labour". That's what cooking is all about
It really can't be overstated how powerful the combination of garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin is for turning whatever I have sitting in the fridge into a quick + tasty taco filling
I also add dried oregano and coriander to that. If I'm feeling lazy I use cumin & Tony's!
Cumin, coriander and paprika is the holy trinity
I have green chilies, cumin and cayenne on hand at all times. I will just add cheese and leftover veggies or a bag of frozen for a quick casserole.
I dont care if your recipe calls for 14 ingredients or 5, everything you make is worth it! Obviously if it requires a lot of ingredients it may not be something we eat weekly but when i do splurge on ingredients its usually your recipes im following and they're always great!
I feel this! When he put out the stroganoff recipe, I made it that afternoon. So good. Not something for weekly meals just because of the steps, but perfect for a weekend once or twice a month!!
^ this entirely. I make an event of cooking your recipes. Every single one of them, whether it requires 1 ingredient or 75, is amazing. Your videos are one of the high spots of my week.
It really makes me wonder what recipes they usually use, or what types of food they make on their own.
I usually conclude that the answer is, "They don't." They probably don't cook or look at recipes.
Any *full* meal is gonna be 10-20 ingredients - and you know they count "garlic powder" as one even though they should have that on hand...
Idk, I don't have to feed them, so I guess it's not my problem lol
I can appreciate the simplicity, but you present complicated recipes better than most. So please don't stop the fancy stuff!
I could be bummed that you've only been doing one video most weeks, but instead I'm choosing to be psyched that your one video includes five recipes. 🙂 Can't wait to give all of these a try!
We're hoping to ramp up to posting 5-6/month by May
@@BrianLagerstrom quality over quantity bro, havent cooked a recipe of yours we havent LOVED yet!!!!
@@BrianLagerstrom Don't burn yourself out bro
@@jeremyd.2156 I see what you did there.😉
Oh how strong, how brave of you.
Just made the Arroz con pollo. Chicken fat dripping started smoking something fierce around the 22 minute mark, and I remembered I had some cabbage in the fridge. Chopped it up and shoved it under the rack of chicken, and now we have the ultimate veggie to accompany, and the smoke problem solved! Love your recipes, especially the quick ones. Thank you so much!
did you cook 450 as the video description notes or 475 as he mentioned in the video?
Mine did too. I didn't add foil though, so I thought that might've been the problem.
Mine did too!
You are at 1.29M subscribers as I watch this. I found you when you had 29,000 and were still Weeds and Sardines. I knew after watching one video that you were going to blow up. You are such a natural in front of the camera. I am thrilled that you are getting the recognition you deserve!
I’m a weeds and sardines viewer too. I still like the name.
I discovered him at about 46,000 followers, right about the time he introduced the Caesar Salad dressing with tahini (total winner). The channel was still called Weeds & Sardines at that point. I loved the direct simplicity then, which of course hasn't changed. It was awesome to see him hit 1M followers, and even more awesome (at least to me) that he was reached out to and sponsored by Better Than Bullion.
yep... one more here. Very early subscriber. The best is that the more you go, the better your videos become, much more conferrable and genuine. What I love the most is that you are not afraid to bring your own mistakes during the process of developing a recipe. Actually, as a home cook bring the awareness of what to pay attention at. Love to you and wifey
I dont often comment but i love how educated you've gotten about certain food restrictions, you almost always give us subs for whenever there's pork or alcohol and that's so cool from someone who eats halal, so thanks
You mention a 475 oven for chicken and rice but written recipe says 450. Which is it and does it matter?
As a mexican this is amazing. We eat a lot of street or cantina food here in CDMX due to the general lifestyle, so the fact you can recreate the favor we would get from a tacos al pastor place or a pollo de cantina amaces me. Keep it going
Great video, but fyi I LOVE those “complicated” videos even more and I do make them so never stop
B-man is becoming the king of teaching and equipping regular-ol-whatever-class-Americans how to cook practical and delicious meals with regular (or tight) budgets, regular (or tight) schedules, and regular ingredients. Thank you!!!!
@adventure_hannah3841: Pro Home Cooks is better at this.
Brian, we love your content. You are feeding our household. I share your stuff with our adult kids to help them have great food without breaking the bank. I’m a hospital worker and your spring roll recipe saved my lunch plan!
I love both the fancy, aspirational, "I'd love to make that someday" and these easy, chill, "I'm going to go make that now" videos. I think the mix keeps it fresh and interesting 🙂
Mexican food is known for being tasty and uncomplicated, with a few exceptions. Thanks for these!
It's 1.30am over here and your recipes are making me hungry!!!
Amazing, love these recipes
Love your recipes and tips! The tostadas and mushroom quesadillas were YUM! Thank you so much!
Thanks Brian! I see some great dishes being added to my dinner rotation.. The last recipe for chicken and rice will be the first.
Thanks for adding the recipes to the notes. These all look yum!
I'm loving Bri's take on Big Little Recipes. Fully here for it, keep 'em coming!
I love the mix of quick recipes like this that I can make on a whim AND complex pro-home-cook recipes I can tackle on a weekend when I want a challenge. Thank you!
Very useful video this time. I like your videos in this sort of “series”. Weeknight cooking is definitely my biggest struggle. And finding cravable but easy to produce recipes I can just have in my head is perfection. ❤
These are some great recipes I just love how easy it is to follow each step simple and straightforward .💕
Weekly meal plan sorted, thanks so much! ❤
I’ve made so many of your recipes now and they are always a hit with the family You never miss dude!
May I say that I enjoy that your channel is very much about no nonsense cooking and even the ads are on brand. Always loving your videos! Thanks for the effort!
You're reading my mind again. I have some skin-on chicken thighs that I need to use and I was looking for a flavourful rice dish. I'll try your last dish first and work my way through the rest. These are the types of recipes that I need; quick, easy, and tasty!
Wow. Your simple weeknight dishes are my very involved weekend dishes!
Your complicated dishes are just here so I can dream...
Thanks for putting the recipes in the description!
I find your recipes are all totally approachable. I hope you don’t change. I like what your recipient generally offer, a nice combination of totally functional and high quality!
This was very helpful for someone like me who doesn't like to cook and isn't very good about meal planning! The food looks delicious and the recipes easy to follow. Thank you!
These easy recipes are great so thanks for incorporating them but please don’t stop with the more “challenging” recipes. I want to continue elevating my skills ❤
Your weeknight meals are the best, Bri!
More videos like this please! Love the format.
Love your recipes! Even more “complicated” ones! You make them seem so easy and doable!
Love the approachable content!
I absolutely adore you. Nuff said.
I can’t wait to try these. Thank you!
Love your recipes, Brian!! Every one i have tried always turns out beautifully! Cant wait to try these recipes!
For me, the recipe that excited me the most was the enchilada skillet method. Nice work Bri!
Absolutely incredible video.
great video and meals Bri! will be pulling it back up often for your tips/techniques and inspiration. thanks.
Love: Easy, Fast and Delicious. Thanks Brian. More like these please.
I made your mushroom quesadillas for my wife and we loved them! Thank you so much for your awesome recipes, been watching you for a while now while learning to cook and you make things so easy to follow.
Thank you Bri - love all those recipes; got inspired ✨
Love all your videos, Bri. I’ve made complex and simple ones and they’ve always been delicious. Thank you so much for all your recipes and all the time you put into testing 💖
Love these. Could happily serve the tacos, rice 'n' chick, and a salad for a family lunch.
I made the tostadas yesterday and we just ate the enchiladas for supper. Quesadillas are tomorrow for lunch. Thank you again for this video. You definitely succeeded at coming up with recipes we want to make and eat.
Thanks for your recipe; blessings 😊
THIS IS AWESOME!! Thank you!! I'd really appreciate recipes like these more often.
I need to try all of these meals! Thanks, Brian!
With the right ingredients and proper but simple cooking methods, you can get top quality meals without the fancy preparation...very instructive! Thanks for the culinary demystification with these simple but solid recipes, Brian!
More of this. Love it
Another great video. I love that you have added a couple of plant based dishes, more please. Thank you for all your hard work.
Love this, but your more complicated dishes has really taught me a lot! Please keep making those 🙂🙏🏻
Just made the tostadas and oh my god! Never has a tea been so easy to make and so delicious! So grateful for this video Brian.
Totally lost the will to cook for a while and these fast and easy recipes really help with that ❤
Can't wait to try the others.
Also gonna make the tostadas next time I have people over
Phenomenal video idea, thank you for sharing!
Dude...love these, and love that you provide sooo many useful ideas.
Thanks!, Brian 🎉
Brian you are a genius everyone of these dishes are a keeper and I’m going to try these
Appreciate all the veg options that you include in your videos!
those al pastor tacos are insane. some of the best tacos iv ever eaten
Five keepers. Will pick one for tomorrow's dinner and a different choice for next four Fridays.
Love the salsa hack for rice.
The arroz con pollo dish is going to be a must try for meal preps. Amazing value for the time put in.
Outstanding video, Bri! You knocked this out of the park!!
I’m making ALL of them over the next two weeks for my elderly parents! Thank you!🔥
I love watching your videos, and I wouldn't change a thing! Sometimes it's nice to make something simple when you're tired from working all day and don't have energy for a complicated recipe. But with that said, complicated or fancy recipes are more enjoyable, because we get to appreciate our own hard work at the end.
the undisputed recipe king of youtube, thanks for always keeping it real with the recipes brian!! u rock!!
I'm loving these quick and easy dinners!!!! I would try them all
Awesome as always!! Thanks for keeping our weeknights interesting
Love those last two dishes
All super easy and yummy looking. I'd gladly eat any of these any day of the week.
Love the shortcut pan enchiladas. Gonna cook them now!
Absolutely top shelf video. Thank you.
Amazing video as always, can’t wait to try these recipes
B Man. Keep all the videos coming. I enjoy the variety in your recipes and like to try them all depending on what I’m up for.
Just made arroz con pollo - amazing!
Keep on keeping on…
I love al Pastor, and now I did it myself. Thank you.
I made the Arroz con pollo and it was a huge win - simple for a weeknight, perfectly seasoned, and a hit for the whole family (including a preschooler). A definite repeat! We love your recipes, thank you for the content you create.
hi bri, i really appreciate this type of video. i don't make most of your recipes since they are usually too much work for me (and i cook vegetarian). i've only been cooking for a few years (late start) and your content has really helped me get to the next stage after meal kits like hellofresh and purple carrot. i find that my biggest barrier to making food more often is that i've never really stocked a pantry so whenever i have to make something new it involves wandering around the supermarket for 1-2 hours and god forbid if i can't find what i need there then most of what i buy will probably go to waste. so, reducing the barrier of entry by limiting the # of ingredients is massively appreciated and a great way to help me cook more.
love all of your videos though, keep it up, you are my favorite food channel :)
I am looking forward to making enchiladas your way! I do appreciate any recipes that are easy and delicious. I often cook for vegetarians so any easy vegetarian recipes are appreciated. Thanks for the great videos! 💜
oh those quesadillas, so easy, so good, thanks!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. Mexican food is my all time favorite. Can't wait to try each of these some week night!
I tried the chicken and rice and I really liked it. Super easy and craveable. Thanks Brian.
This is my go to recipe spot. I've made the spaghetti and chili like 15 times each.
Have my hubby and I told you how awesome you and Loren are. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
@@BrianLagerstrom Thanks for putting out great content. Your recipes never fail. Have a wonderful day you two.
Mad the Weeknight Arroz con Pollo tonight. Thank you for the recipe! This is a keeper
Big fan if the channel, especially the Weeknighting series.
Made the Quesadilla recipe tonight for my wife & I & it was phenomenal! The only thing I changed was frying up some diced bacon before adding the veggies to the pan. Bacon + Shrooms + Jalapenos are a peak combo & the rendered bacon fat makes for a flavorful frying medium.
Thanks for this! I think it’d be great for inexpensive but delicious meal prep.
I made the cheesy mushroom and jalapeño quesadillas tonight for tea expecting a nice meal as I like mushrooms. What I got instead was an awesome dish! I can’t believe how much flavour was in just a five ingredient dish. I ate the lot and was full as a goog but kept eating it was so yummy! I can’t wait to have another for my Sunday breakfast! Thanks so much for sharing, from me and my tummy in Australia! ❤
Wow Bri, another awesome video!!! Every recipe in this video is actually worth trying! Thank you!
Gonna have to try a few of these, especially those quesadillas 🔥🔥
We made your al pastor and it was FIRE!! We did the first batch with the whole slow cooker process on a Sunday night and then just the fry-off portion for leftover night and it was amazing both time. Added guac, but otherwise they are perfect as-is. Thanks for a new go-to recipe!
Love these simple recipes! i like to add variety to my weeknight meals and i dont have a lot of time on hand
Great video Bri! I've made so many of your recipes and will make everyone of these 5 starting with the tostados tonight.... perfect for a chill Friday night.
Brian I love the way you explain and do your videos….❤❤
I've made variants of these for years on weeknights. Good selection!
Solid as usual! Look forward to making these over the next several weeknights
Will certainly try making some of these. Got to say, out of all the food RUclipsrs that I follow, I think I've probably made more of your recipes (usually mutiple times) than anyone else's. Keep it up! Love your channel!
Thank you everything looks delicious
Brian by far is one of the best cooking channels on RUclips! I love how he doesn't use msg as a crutch to add flavor to anything! he just uses his amazing knowledge and talent to create dishes for the at home cook!
