An amazing balance of sweet and sour.
Onion counts as a vegetable! 😉 That looks delicious! BTW, I pre-ordered your cookbook! Can't wait for that!
4:00 to be fair, I sear ground beef using maybe 1/6th of that amount of oil, AND I pat it entirely dry before making contact, and it still spackles oil droplets all over the stove!
Frankly im surprised oil guards are just now becoming popular. I guess we have just been fine having oil coating the kitchens
I don’t know why this is in my feed a second time….i saw it 4-5 days ago , I replied….and this happens a lot with this site
Holy Cow! I went back to work a couple of years ago and haven't watched very much YouTube. I caught this video. Wow!!! The Taste Tester is a handsome hunk of a dude!!! James' voice has dropped, his hair is gorgeous and he IS taller than dad. Wow. I was looking for your Chicken Scarp recipe and found the best surprise. You both should be very proud of that cutie!
So glad to see James again. Love the classy family intelligence that permeates everything you do, Jim and Tara. Delicious!! Thank you. _ Marilyn
I wish there were a LOVE button! The ending with congrats is chef's kiss!
love how the taste tester is so thoroughly expressive in his reviews! he's really almost grown up
Good Stuff !!
Please change the name of this dish. Creamy beef does not sound very appetizing.
Oh this will be so easy to veganize. I love how warm your family is, and how proud of them you are. xoxoxo
After again cooking one of your recipes it’s time for me to give back and pre-order your book, congrats on your book and looking forward having it! Your chill attitude, good explanation and precisily my kind of food have brought joy in me to cook and try things out. Thanks man, keep up the good work!
The longer I watch your cooking tutorials, the more nuanced your instructions become. As I am Italian and grew up learning the basics, there is always room for less exactness . If being considered egomaniacal means that Jim is organized, prepares well, offers options galore, loves to cook and has an incredible family team, yet demonstrates that perfectionism is not the goal for his audience, then I'm all in – keep on crushing it!
the audio drops around 6:45, or is it just me?
I gotta get used to the new hat lol. I love you though
This isn't so much a recipe as a method. And all the better for it.
Hey, Jim! I have a challenge for you and would like tor you to produce a video for.
I LOVE Calabrian chili paste but the only time I ever really use it is when I make fra diavolo. I hate the idea of buying ingredients for a dish and only use them once or twice then they just sit in my fridge or pantry for months until I have to throw them out. It happens to me more often than I care to admit.
So, my challenge for you is to show us different ways to use leftover pantry ingredients like Calabrian chili paste so that they don't go to waste. I could very easily look up such recipes, but I want to see what you do with it or any other spare pantry item that you might have around the kitchen.
Thanks!
Healthwise, I'm far more worried about the pasta than the cream.
the hat…..
Green beans? Seasoning salt maybe, and got to havE A DINNER ROLL OR FRENCH BREAD! AND FOR THOSE OF US WHO CAN'T DO A TOMATO BASE, SOME HOMEADE CHEESE SAUCE, WITH SOME PARMESAN CHEESE ON TOP! GOLDEN!
So happy to hear some background music!
Hate that they copyright you!
Yum!
We tried this tonight and its a fantastic recipe. Got nervous about the pasta at first, but it really came together nicely by the end. Would recommend this, especially in a Dutch oven.
I would put in zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, and a little celery.
I never noticed how good-looking you are lol…the cap with the apron really suits you – you look like some old-timey NY delicatessen manager.
Chopped green and red peppers, mushrooms. I love peas too. -making this tonight…
"That cream is going to make our creamy beef shells creamy", you don't get deep learning like this on other cooking channels.
Cooking for two, I have to keep reminding myself to halve all these recipes. But I've been making something similar for years.
This looks amazing during fall/winter. Looks like an amazing comfort food.
By the way I pre-order your cook book
love that this dish is so customizable. i'm lactose-intolerant so i would skip the cream, and i'm a bad sicilian-american…i don't like peas! and i know it would still be delicious. love that it's one-pot too.
James needs a haircut
Calabrian chilis would be great too
The meat masher works for braking up canned tomatoes too
My son is 5 and he watched this with me. He says “mom, I think I want this for my birthday breakfast”
lol
10:07 looks like y’all got a package during the peas conversation
Mushrooms would be a great addition
Digging the hat 😊
We just had this for dinner tonight.
We took ripe tomatoes from the garden and made our sauce. We mixed half a bottle of Ragu sauce with our fresh tomatoes. Half pound ground sausage and a pound of ground venison. We also had to sub milk for heavy cream because we were out of heavy cream.
The fresh basil at the end 🎉
Delicious and I get it for lunch tomorrow. Coworkers can have some free sniffs 😂
I used mozzarella and pecorino romano instead of cream and it came out great
THIS is why i love to cook but not bake. I can change my mind in mid-cook and still have a nice dish. You cannot do that in baking unless you are very experienced.
Glad the YT gods send you back into my algos. another great dish and I LOVE that you give options and versions. anyway, YOU and your family make my fall and winter cooking entertainment.
That's what you get for feeding him so well!!
Looks delicious I’m definitely making it this week. Love all your recipes so simple & easy to follow along the way you explain everything!
Wow was this good. I only made it because it seemed simple and quick and I had all the ingredients at the house. Way better than it sounds. It's so simple but whatever magic you did really made a special dish. The basil at the end was perfect too.
He is taller than you because you have been cooking him such delicious and healthy food!
Super taisty and super easy. Added fine chopped carrots and selleries together with the onions.
Lunch boxes ready in the fridge.
Thanks for the inspiration.❤
