What's even better is that he gives an equally straightforward and simple yet descriptive-enough-to-follow alternative to what he did for people that still want to make the recipe at home.
This is coming from the kid who made a napkin dispenser his personal musical instrument. So his mind works in the ways that only a child can understand.
They said in the episode that is had cheese, bacon, noodles, red sauce, ground beef, chives, sour cream, cinnamon raison bagel and a few baked potatoes

@@cactusjack1527 He's clearly watched Bob's Burgers before (I don't think someone who hadn't would talk about emulating a character's mindset). I think he's just more interested in making decently edible food instead of putting cinnamon bagels in a lasagne style dish.
I really appreciate you explaining little things like why you used the butter milk instead of regular in order to get the sour cream tang. I always have those questions and it is super helpful!
@@chanterelle483 because from skin to skin potatoes are very inconsistent. You can take two slices of potato from right next to each other, visually identical, throw them in oil and they will come out curled slightly different.
I don't want to call out a "Botched by Babish" episode, but you forgot the raisin bagel. And I'd assume a handful of candy because they're the Belcher kids.
Man, i just made this recipe a couple weeks ago out of curiosity. Mine was more like a loaded baked potato au gratin. Layers of thinly sliced potato, left over chili from my last visit to my inlaws in Texas (frozen to keep it fresh), Colby Jack, Cheddar, and Ricotta cheeses, chopped bacon, and i used baby spinach rather than broccoli. It was actually fantastic, but next time, i think I'll make the Babish verion.
They moved out from Canada, New York, Maine, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, California, New Brunswick, Greece, Germany, Netherlands, Virginia, Alabama and Indiana 🤔 we call them pencil people, you never put in your address book with ink 😉
I think your on something there with the slices. I'm curious if going with some gratin style sliced potatoes (go super thing to mimic the noodles) instead of making a gnocchi sheet, would give more potato flavoring.
I would have imagined thin mandoline sliced potato layers like a gratin to sub for the noodles (perhaps par cooked so they aren't still crunchy out of the oven). That would, of course, go great with a bechamel lasagna. (Why am I starting to imagine making this sometime soon? :-).
This episode inspired me to try my own hand at this concept, I attempted to make the lasagna noodles out of a gnocchi dough, add some cheddar cheese to the bechemel that I would normally use for a lasagna and add a bunch of extra chilli spices to the bolognese, wasn’t bad but didn’t give the distinct flavor I was hoping for…. Your version of the recipe was better than mine
Ok, hear me out. I once made a recipe called "Pierogi Lasagna". It used regular lasagna noodles, mashed potatoes, bechamel sauce, and bacon. I was deeply skeptical, but it was actually delicious. I'm sure it could easily be converted to "loaded baked potato" by just adding broccoli and/or chili.
I don't know if I would ever expect bacon, potatoes, chili, and cheese to result in anything other than excellence, but this does look like a great way to combine them. It also seems like the ultimate coup de grâce for leftover chili.
My wife and i made this. We cut potatoes into slices and used them as the noodle. Bacon went heavy in with the ground beef and sauce. Bacon and a scapions ontop. It was wonderful a great recipie from my favorite show.
I'm so glad you did this! Many times I've watched that episode, i find myself overlooking the heartfelt elements, lost in thought as i try to figure out how a loaded baked potato lasagna world work
Man I was hoping this recipe would end up here! This was one of my favorite episodes of the new seasons, it was so emotional and heartbreaking, and I appreciated the Rudy backstory. 10/10 this is great
For some reason the combination of your voice and Juparo just hits right into the feels, 2018-2019 watching creme brulee and some hot dog with relish kinds of videos.. anyone else?
The first version reminds me of a chili cheese hot dish. My mother would make it with leftover chili, topped with sour cream and avocado and it made a pretty tasty dinner.
I regularly make potato lasagne! Crank out the mandolin on its thinnest setting to make sheets out of potatoes, chilli, cheese and sour cream for white sauce. Sprinkle some chopped up skins on top to get crispy. Instant win!!
Being Greek i cannot not suggest thinly sliced potatoes on a mandolin and using them instead of the dough (or even alternating if you want to do so). That would give it a clearer potato flavor and even though it would creep upon moussaka territory it would still be a lasagna if nothing else is unchanged. Also, but that is a personal preference, a bit of nutmeg in the bechamel every time makes it pop. All in all i would for sure try myself this "gnocchi" version as it sounds fun! Thanks!
cooling something "just long enough so they still hurt when you peel them by hand without causing any permanent damage" has got to be the wildest benchmark for comparison i've ever heard LOL didn't expect the encouraging, affirming ending lines, but we appreciate it Babish :')
Pasta and potatoes may come together as gnocchi, but lasagna is a pasta casserole, and casserole and potatoes come together as pommes gratinées or pommes Anna. Same idea, but instead of making gnocchi lasagna sheets, mandolin some potatoes into paper-thin rounds and arrange them into layers for the lasagna.
I would've fused gratinated potatoes with lasagne, using very thin sliced potatoes instead of pasta sheets, or perhaps alternating layers of potatoes and pasta sheets, in between beshamel and bacon-tomato sauce.
I love potatoes and I love to make lasagna so this is gonna be a big treat. I thought I missed an episode from last week and I was a little worried about Andrew. I’m glad he’s back making my fav food. ❤
Hey Babish! You should make a dish or maybe a few from the anime Delicious in Dungeon. I understand it might be difficult to source a Walking Mushroom, Big Bat, and Red Dragon, but I’m sure you could figure something out. 😅
as a midwesterner i can confirm we do have something similar in the form of tater tot caserole, except theres beef instead of broccoli and the sauce is cream of mushroom
My mom makes this casserole called baked potato loaded casserole which is similar I would say to just regular casserole but my mom might be interested in this now.
I know its heresy to many but chili and broccoli are pretty normal in some places. I never put chives or scallions on my baked potatoes (though a little green onion sometimes can go on)
Did you see the Blackberry Burger on Bob's Board? I'm just saying, the chef that pulls that off definitely deserves a,"way to Go Slugger!" and like 50 gold stars.
Hey man! Love the channel. I've heard you're going through allot in your life base on an interview you did recently on the last meal show. Just wanted to say, I love these classic style binging with babish videos. It's inspiering and interesting and just weird enough to make me want to try it. Love it! Keep on keeping on. Cheers.
I dunno what paper you were writing this on, because "baked potato lasagna" sounds _immediately incredible_ to me. Granted, I _am_ fairly hungry right now, but I'm pretty sure I'd feel this way regardless.
It's weird that this is what Babish Culinary Universe thinks a "Loaded" baked potato is. Never in my life has "chili" been part of any Loaded Baked Potato i've ever had. No one in the studio stopped that chili train? They probably just wanted chili.
I was thinking a potato gratin with a really loose mornay sauce made with American and cheddar cheese, bacon (lots of it), chili, and garnished with a dollop of sour cream and fresh chives.
I don’t care for Bob’s Burgers at all. But I watch this because I’m a fan of you. And I must say, using gnocchi for a loaded baked potato lasagna was a genius idea

There isn't a soul on this planet that would judge you for saying we should be more like Gene Belcher.
I can't tell if I just unlocked a fresh Mandela or if that was a callback?? I don't know what is reeeeeeaaalll 🥴
Ngl ya made me tear up there a lil andrew.
I'd love to see you recreate the 7 layer parfait flambé
Gene Belcher is one of the best characters ever created.
I have zero problems saying that.
Gene is simply amazing.
Love continuing the trend of doing food from Bob's Burgers that are decidedly not burgers
The odds of them actually making great burgers, feel low compared to the all the creativity they put into the recipes they come up with.
I've not seen that many episodes of Bob's Burgers but I'm impressed as to how much they focus on not burger food
Don't give him any ideas, replacing hash browns with hamburg buns is wrong on many levels 🤨
FYI there's a BB cookbook.
I always appreciate how straightforward he is about things that aren't worth the effort. Just "this was not worth it," and on he goes.
@@thatvalensteingirlor were they just being culturally correct and polite over the gluttonous option 🤔
What's even better is that he gives an equally straightforward and simple yet descriptive-enough-to-follow alternative to what he did for people that still want to make the recipe at home.
He speaks from experience
The question: "What is green that commonly goes on loaded baked potatoes?"
Normal people: "Chives and/or scallions?"
Babish: "B R O C C O L I"
especially ironic because i think it would maybe be the biggest betrayal to a child (especially gene belcher) to add broccoli to their special meal 😢
There's a Broly joke here.
Yeah, broccoli cheese baked potatoes are definitely a thing but I wouldn't think of broccoli on a "loaded baked potato."
To be fair, in my area a restaurant has a baked potato bar that offers broccoli cheddar sauce to go on it so I wasn't too shocked here
Also, where did chili come from? Is that part of a loaded baked potato?
This is coming from the kid who made a napkin dispenser his personal musical instrument. So his mind works in the ways that only a child can understand.
Right? Its great
Frankly it's more his ADHD than simply just being a child

instead of gnocchi-ish lasagna noodles, I would have just sliced the potatoes on a mandolin similar to Potatoes au Gratin.
P.s. nokkies are nothing like lasagna noodles 😛
Yeah idk how that wasn’t the obvious choice or lasagna with layers of mashed potatoes
Those aren’t noodles. It’s lasagna. Words mean things.
I would've thought about that first, too, but then again, sliced potatoes tend to bake pretty unevenly in my experience. Not sure why.
@@chanterelle483 because from skin to skin potatoes are very inconsistent. You can take two slices of potato from right next to each other, visually identical, throw them in oil and they will come out curled slightly different.

Also the corn bread crust, they also distinctly say the green is chives.
Tina lists every ingredient when they’re at the table eating. I definitely want a redo.
@@mikeyb3859And I'd assume that it's regular noodles with mashed potatoes as the filling. Probably skin on to simulate a baked potato.
Babish thinking the green in a loaded baked potato lasagna is Brocolli makes me think he hasn't had loaded baked potato before lol
Yeah, shouldn't it be green onion or chives?
broccoli in a loaded baked potato is seriously underrated if you haven't gotten to enjoy it.
It’s more common than you think, but not THAT common
I think he might have mixed up loaded baked potato and twice-baked potatoes, which commonly have broccoli, bacon, and cheddar xD
It's a regional thing. they're commonly on loaded baked potatoes in parts of the east coast.
Man, i just made this recipe a couple weeks ago out of curiosity.

You made a casserole
@@fresnoniiji Technically, any dish made with multiple fillings and baked, is a casserole.
Lasagna is just an Italian Casserole.
@@dreamwolf7302 That's like saying baked ziti and enchiladas are the same thing
You could use those dried potato slices from the boxed au gratin as the lasagna noodles or if your not as lazy as I am fresh potato slices.
No
I think your on something there with the slices. I'm curious if going with some gratin style sliced potatoes (go super thing to mimic the noodles) instead of making a gnocchi sheet, would give more potato flavoring.
Ah, my favorite cuisine: madness!
Madness?
_THIS, IS, SPARTA!_
...I apologize for that.
What is your profession Spartan?@@azazeltheundyingdamienkali5700
Honestly everything lights up when Babish posts a new Bobs Burgers recipe
Finally, another bobs burgers episode
too bad he did it wrong
I would have imagined thin mandoline sliced potato layers like a gratin to sub for the noodles (perhaps par cooked so they aren't still crunchy out of the oven). That would, of course, go great with a bechamel lasagna. (Why am I starting to imagine making this sometime soon? :-).
This episode inspired me to try my own hand at this concept, I attempted to make the lasagna noodles out of a gnocchi dough, add some cheddar cheese to the bechemel that I would normally use for a lasagna and add a bunch of extra chilli spices to the bolognese, wasn’t bad but didn’t give the distinct flavor I was hoping for….

Such a wholesome ending
That's what she said 😏
My favorite TV show is Bob's Burgers where I fall asleep to the show each night
Ok, hear me out. I once made a recipe called "Pierogi Lasagna". It used regular lasagna noodles, mashed potatoes, bechamel sauce, and bacon. I was deeply skeptical, but it was actually delicious. I'm sure it could easily be converted to "loaded baked potato" by just adding broccoli and/or chili.

"Everybody's so creative!" is what I'd summarise that first recipe as.
As another option, you could mandolin the potatos, par boil them, and use those like lasagne noodles. This however requires handling the finger-eater.
This is binging with babish at its absolute best. Welcome back old friend
4:02 same vibes as L4D Coach saying "Barbecue bacon burger"
My wife and i made this. We cut potatoes into slices and used them as the noodle. Bacon went heavy in with the ground beef and sauce. Bacon and a scapions ontop. It was wonderful a great recipie from my favorite show.
i swear i can't watch one video on this channel without leaving hungry!!
Andrew has such amazing skills!!
As soon as I saw that episode I couldn’t wait to see Babish cover this recipe.
The final product looks utterly amazing, I'm def gonna try it.
Everyone from the Midwest: you mean a casserole?
Thank you
2:06
What kind of casserole do you call this?
A potato lasagna is how I have described what a moussaka is like
OK, I think I know what's for dinner tonight. Talk about inspiration striking
I'm so glad you did this! Many times I've watched that episode, i find myself overlooking the heartfelt elements, lost in thought as i try to figure out how a loaded baked potato lasagna world work

I honestly have never watched an episode of Bob's Burgers, but you had me hooked at Loaded Baked Potato Lasagna.
It never seizes to amaze me how you can take what seems to be a fairly simple recipe and making it as complicated as possible. Amazing work of course
When that episode came out, I wracked my brain trying to figure out how to make this work. You madlad, you did it.
No! This idea is the opposite of yucky! It looks amazing. So be proud of yourself.
Being Greek i cannot not suggest thinly sliced potatoes on a mandolin and using them instead of the dough (or even alternating if you want to do so).

didn't expect the encouraging, affirming ending lines, but we appreciate it Babish :')
my first thought was a sort of gratin - that provides a similar thin + layered texture
Pitch: Dishes from “Blue Eye Samurai”, PLEASE!!
Pasta and potatoes may come together as gnocchi, but lasagna is a pasta casserole, and casserole and potatoes come together as pommes gratinées or pommes Anna. Same idea, but instead of making gnocchi lasagna sheets, mandolin some potatoes into paper-thin rounds and arrange them into layers for the lasagna.
Excellent! Could've tried with potatoes on top like a shepherds pie, then topped with dollops of sour cream and chive.
Another tuesday and another Lasagna with Babish
wow. now, THIS ONE took me aback. well done, Chef!
That episode was beautiful with or without that whimsical idea ❤
Forgot the corn bread crust
If you have kids, they must love you.
It's okay chum, I've had broccoli on baked potatoes too, it's one of the best ways to have a "healthy" baked potato
I knew as soon as Gene described this during this tear-jerker of an episode that Babish would soon follow up with said delicacy.
I would've fused gratinated potatoes with lasagne, using very thin sliced potatoes instead of pasta sheets, or perhaps alternating layers of potatoes and pasta sheets, in between beshamel and bacon-tomato sauce.
Made the 2nd version!
It was fun and tasted like you'd think, I think I made the noodles to thick but it's still great
Where is the cornbread? or the cinamon rasin bagel?
My husband and I had a potato pizza while visiting Maine and I think you would love it.
I don’t often “mmmh” at my phone, but this was one of those times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Truly a stoner's dream food at the late hours when most places are closed
So I'm not the only one screaming "THAT'S A HOTDISH!" at my screen today?

Ooooh make fried chicken with the leftover bacon grease. I do this all the time because I'm southern in my heart. Xoxo love your channel ❤️
I have been waiting for this ever since that episode dropped!
I did a mixup one independence day here in peru it was Alfredo sauce coated in fettucini and bologne sauce on both sides making the peruvian flag.
So much lasagna on the BCU lately, I love it !
I will continue to politely request foods from the Homestar Runner universe. Forever and ever.
And also foods from A Nero Wolfe Mystery.
Can you make the baked brie en croute with pears also from Bob's Burgers (S11/ Ep7)?
Instructions unclear the lasagna is making me a stuffed potato
I hope you never change your background music. It really captures the "Babish essence" somehow.
as a midwesterner i can confirm we do have something similar in the form of tater tot caserole, except theres beef instead of broccoli and the sauce is cream of mushroom
Crazy how Lisagne always tastes better as a next day left over then it does when served right out of the oven

First One Piece lasagna and now Bob’s Burgers Lasagna? The layers keep on layering.
I dunno what paper you were writing this on, because "baked potato lasagna" sounds _immediately incredible_ to me.
Granted, I _am_ fairly hungry right now, but I'm pretty sure I'd feel this way regardless.
Think I might try this but with one change.
Thinly sliced potatoes (not dissimilar to potatoes au gratin) in place of the modified lasagna dough.
Totally disagree on broccoli as the green layer. Spinach or silverbeet wouldve been a better choice IMO, I LOVE those in lasagna
The dishes in the clean plate club are lonely, don’t forget about them
I managed to put lasagna flavors into a baked potato the other day so this was well-timed lol
Sometimes I can't tell whether I am watching this channel for the food you make or the watches you wear.
See I was just thinking like a potato gratin but with added bacon and cheddar instead of romano or parm, but what a next-level idea!
It's weird that this is what Babish Culinary Universe thinks a "Loaded" baked potato is. Never in my life has "chili" been part of any Loaded Baked Potato i've ever had. No one in the studio stopped that chili train? They probably just wanted chili.

Ahhh yes, when I think of "loaded baked potato" the first thing I think of is "Broccoli and Chili"
Everyone who doesn't feel like making a Gnocchi dough try making Moussaka, just as delicious with less the hassle!
Honestly the idea I got from hearing this was that it was a regular lasagna with loaded baked potatoes integrated into it
I love this episode of BB!
