3 One Pot Meals That Don’t Suck

[@mamacitadelosperros533]

I am 80, live alone and love to cook one pot meals that I can make and eat for a few days. These recipes are going to be on my list; the only problem being, which one will I try first! Thank you, Andy, for your inspiration and great recipes!

[@manhtuyennguyen7883]

thats impressive for a man that age i'd say

[@Yemifalase]

Absolutely 💯

[@andy_cooks]

Thanks!

[@andy_cooks]

😅 might be ready for next year

[@MrBjoern91]

I get grossed out by many of the popular youtubers with leaning their faces up in the camera. This guy has a much better style

[@hamishmacintyre4600]

Definitely

[@ThEvilsTeam]

This kiełbasa dish is called "garnek chłopa" (folks pot) in Poland 😁 To make it more genuine try to spice it with Marjoram. Poles love Marjoram, it's like oregano but milder. We use it to every meat dish.

[@tim-alexanderteuner3874]

Same in Bavaria!

[@maxwellkamlongera5158]

It's nice to see in-video ads that have actually been made with the video in question rather than cutting to a pre-recorded add that was made at a different point in time and has just been gathering dust, waiting to be used again.

[@casroppe9676]

I have bought the pan, can't wait till it arrives

[@shanetwogood7893]

I tried to buy the pan and it is already sold out. Perfect pan for how I cook.

[@mmmmmmmmdaaaamnnnnbabyyyy]

Not only that but he actually uses the stuff he advertises

[@ckannan90]

Idk, I like the prerecorded ones because they’re way easier to skip 😂

[@arkasubhroc2]

The only problem I have with the kielbasa sausage dish is that there is a high chance I'll just eat the sausages by themselves while I'm still chopping the veggies.

[@Robani03]

🤣i know that struggle. buy one extra for taste 🤫

[@vinoth15586]

😢😮uh

[@TheDarklingWolf]

The struggle is real, isn't it?

[@evildonkey20]

Could not identify with this more

[@m2hmghb]

Been there done that.

[@6beto]

Half italian and half mexican here. He did his own versions of an italian and a mexican dish and both look fantastic. I'm sure I'm gonna make them. Thanks

[@nw4827]

building up a nice one pan or one pot repertoire is so key to cooking at home and eating better. Really appreciate these videos man!

[@andy_cooks]

Glad you like them!

[@nonnapapera3044]

I am italian, I cook a lot and love it and I'm in this commemt section only to show the deepest appreciation about your work! I mean it, you're great and italian recipes are in good hand when you adapt them to your versions.

[@cthulhudude23]

I love the spectrum of cooking you work with, Andy! You can go from very technical, difficult dishes that I aspire to replicate all the way to simple, home fair that I grew up with that has your own twist and intuition thrown in the mix. Goes to show, there is a time and place for all styles! Sometimes cooking youtube forgets that.

[@wengi_tuu]

3:02 the first recipe is so diverse, very underrated. - You can replace the sausage with minced meat, chicken breast - You can use yam, irish potatoes or sweet potatos - you can mix up other vegetables 🔥🔥🔥 Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@Kymberlee_W]

I grew up eating the sausage with potatoes, peppers and onions but my grandma always added cabbage to the pot, too.

[@NotChefCook]

Ooo YAMS and/or sweet potatoes !! Delish !

[@CurrentBeatle]

​@@NotChefCooktotally gonna do this. I hate regular potatoes lol but love sweet potatoes

[@johnhicks8626]

Yep. Replacing the capsicum/bell pepper with anaheim and poblano just because it's what I have on hand.

[@komiks42]

Lets be real. Meat, potatos, vegies, with good spices is always good meal. You have sausage siting a bit to long in your fridge? Put it in. Grab what vegies you have, add it, give it sone spices. Thats base for my diet since i moved out, and i'm not complaining

[@BDubs1936]

The further along I get in my cooking journey, the more I appreciate that massive bit of cutting board you've got. Well done, mate!

[@snikkel111]

How the fuck do you wash that thing?

[@tkeijzer2783]

Bedankt and greetings from the Netherlands! Great channel, I’ve learned a lot from you!! Keep it up, and if ever in Holland, I’ll buy you and the misses a beer 🍻

[@TheUglyCook]

I’m probably not a big deal, but I’m always delighted to see Andy cook. And teach normal people different skills and techniques. I was inspired to learn more about food by Anthony Bourdain, the late gentleman encouraged my palate for western cooking, and there’s this bloke here, inspires me to learn and cook for people I care about. Thank you for giving me guts and inspiration ❤️

[@LoveDoctorNL]

Capsicums are also known as bell peppers in America or just peppers in the UK and Paprikas in countries with a Germanic language

[@deannamarconi1513]

How odd considering bell peppers contain no capsaicin in them! Is it just that all peppers in Australia are called capsicuns, or just bell peppers?

[@martijnspruit]

Is that a typical Australian word for paprika? Never heard it before.

[@evanherk]

Capsicum is the latin genus name of all peppers.

[@IAmABoss2]

UK we call them peppers or bell peppers I have never heard the word capsicum before

[@shibibi1]

​@@deannamarconi1513 only bell peppers. Most other "peppers" we refer to as chilli.

[@TheFunhole]

You are an absolute legend! Im from Estonia. When we were young, and hitting the city, like young gentleman do. We allways went to the railwaystation kiosk, to get our hands and fingers greased up with the lovely oils of Cheburek for the end of the night. Served in a plastic bag. Certainly you bought two. One to eat rightaway, and one tucked inside your jacked to keep you warm. So my request is that if you could give it a shot on making them, when you have time. Lev

[@conorryan3035]

I second this. I went to Estonia a long time ago as a student and these kept me fed and happy. Absolutely delicious!

[@christopher5855]

I cook one pot meals on my work days and then do my fun cooking like bread baking, pizza making or grilling on my weekends. As much as I love cooking I love being able to relax after a day of hard work.

[@xTobsecretx]

The potato kielbasa is sth I just make as a sheet pan dish. Put bacon and Kielbasa on a sheet pan, add some veggies and put it in the oven. Works like a charm!

[@Timmycoo]

I love rice and beans. I eat it as a main dish sometimes as well lol. I like to cook the rice with a mix of stock and some canned enchilada sauce. That last dish Andy made was definitely my fav as it's something I'd make the most often.

[@krisrowan]

In Louisiana, Red Beans and Rice are Monday staples on most restaurants menus and in households. It is a whole main dish with Andouille Sausage or smoked if you can't find the Andouille.

[@Kymberlee_W]

Yeah, I somehow doubt we're getting Andouille in Australia anytime soon. **I wish we did, that and Tasso ham are two things I really miss from New Orleans.**

[@korylp6219]

And gumbo and po boys and… 😂 love the southern cuisines!

[@TopoGigio555]

If it’s Monday, it’s red beans and rice😊. So yummy!

[@CrustaceousB]

[@amcconnell6730]

I'm a huge fan of curly parsely. It is so much easier to get a fine chop on it, and the greater surface area gives it a stronger flavour. If you're going to chop your parsely - go curly every time. ... and you don't confuse it with the coriander in the fridge. :D

[@Paperista]

I agree! I think it holds longer too.

[@craigchristensen6082]

Coriander should not be confused with anything edible

[@bevanflyfishnz665]

Back in the day, (NZ)I was bought up as a military brat. These one pot meals were common. The first dish was a classic. Shout out Linton MC. Love your channel. My Fam residence 1/2 NZ/ Sunshine. That's for the Oosh.

[@kiyahmoulder1553]

In a chef and your cookbook is one of the most solid well put together cookbooks ive seen in 10+ years! Stand up effort mate HIGHLY recommend this book to all home cooks and professionals✌️

[@corross]

I just made the beans and rice for my wife and I. It is so much better than I thought it would be. So simple and delicious! Plenty of leftovers too! Thank you Andy!

[@distantwaterway]

Thanks

[@opridilol]

2 more suggestions, italian pasta faggioli (or balkan pasta fazol) is also a great, rich one-potter. And, for me the king of them all - hugarian Lecho / Lecso - absolute miracle of what can you achieve with paprika and tomatos

[@DavidMcWilliam-j8g]

Thanks for this. As a wheelchair user I find more complicated cooking extremely difficult. I like doing it for myself so one pot solutions are exactly what I’m looking for

[@ziggle5000]

This type of comment just makes me appreciate how great Andy and the youtube cooking community is. I'm so grateful to live in an age where videos like this are readily available.

[@jaquelinebiggs3394]

Lovely meals! I add a drizzle of very good balsamic vinegar to my Italian tomato sauces, and I also add a tablespoon of liquid from the Kalamata olives. Both add a flavor complexity to my sauces that is divine!

[@crisandrawomack845]

Thanks!

[@RoshilaNair]

I really like your videos, your recipes, teaching method, personality and warmth. You are a great cook and teacher. Much appreciated.

[@MrDanmjack]

When Jamaicans make rice and peas (rice and red kidney beans) they use the liquor from the beans to colour the rice and it adds a lot of flavour.

[@DomHollow]

Be careful. I work in an export food warehouse. We gas our sealed food with what could be, best explained as carbon monoxide (car exhaust) for export to China. I'd wash those beans.

[@MrDanmjack]

@@DomHollow carbon dioxide is what the food industry uses to preserve canned food. That and nitrogen gas. Carbon monoxide is poisonous

[@basvand225]

Top dishes and as a Dutchman, we love one-pot meals. Bought the Skottsberg wok with lid a month ago. Now going to buy the stainless steel skillet for the (sour) sauces so my cast iron skillet will not be affected. Thanks for the code, and keep up the good work.

[@mariankay6482]

I am going to make your version of all of these. They look delicious! Thanks Andy! My husband thanks you, too!😋❤️

[@andy_cooks]

Hope you enjoy!

[@chrisdoran7596]

Oregano is a wonderful herb. Italian's use it to marinate their rib fillet steak, along with garlic, italian parsley, red wine and extra virgin olive oil.🤩👍

[@getchucked7401]

My wife and I have rice and beans several nights a week. We try different styles every time, and we have never been disappointed.

[@hannotn]

Sausage beans and rice is one of my favourites to come back to now and then. Simple, but great strong flavours and that contentment of a filling meal on a winter night.

[@tammypearson4500]

My favorite type of meal! Easy for families and those with little time for cooking, but want homemade! Chef's kiss!

[@MikeRobert-w8b]

Hello Tammy 👋

[@patrickleeuwenvan3741]

Rookworst! Very traditional sausage in the Netherlands! It's great.

[@DonPatrono]

also, Italian here, about the Pollo alla Cacciatora (chicken Cacciatore), honestly it's not that off, but just a couple pointers: - Bell peppers....mostly optional, some put them some don't, traditional recipe doesn't involve them but they go well together so a lot of variations do include them - White Wine...nah, Red Wine is the best for this recipe, gives more color and deeper flavor. - Traditional recipe involves the Italian Holy Trinity, the Soffritto: Onions, Carrots and Celery. Honestly never understood what Celery does, but if you want to improve your dish throw even half a minced carrot together with the onion. You can even use those pre-cut julienne'd carrots that they sell for salads

[@lukasreid7519]

Hey Andy, just had an idea for a recipe you could do, since you like doing dishes from different parts of the world - it's called Bolo do Caco - had it while on vacation in Madeira and its basically a flat bread that's usually served with garlic butter, but it's made with sweet potato flour and then baked on a hot stone - super super delicious and they serve it at every single restaurant I've been to on the island!

[@grrlpurpleable]

Love one pot cooking for single living. Not out of laziness but out of pure time management on the clean-up afterwards! Those look awesome. My favourite rice and peas dish was, wow, back in 1990 I was in Puerto Rico and fell in love with Arroz con Gandules (rice with pigeon peas) which usually came with either chicken or pork added in or served on the side. Delicious. :)

[@jj522]

Andy your videos have transformed mealtimes in our house. Thanks so much

[@scrumblybumbles6513]

Sausage beans and rice. Kielbasa and potato

[@andyguarino]

Boy, I sure love one pot recipes and you just dropped three bangers!

[@mariafilingo2678]

I love that. It’s starting to get a little chilly in north east PA. This is great thank you.😊

[@striife8035]

your videos are so chiled out and friendly, im gonna watch them all now i think

[@SonOfAntalis]

The sausage beans and rice dish I make often. I have been making something like it for15 years now and I still love it. Was planning on doing it this weekend. If anyone is in the Southern U.S. I recommend Conecuh Sausage. It is a type of hickory smoked sausage and probably the best sausage I have found in the South. Also in a bind, several bratwurst work just as well. I will usually get some colour on each side first, do your veggies, then add it all with the rice. Excellent dishes my man. Not sure why I had not subbed sooner.

[@Deuce_Luminox.]

I did the Potato Kielbasa last night and it was exceptional. I see this going into regular rotation in the colder months. I might reduce the amount of chicken stock next time, as the cook time it took to reduce it down resulted in the onions and peppers nearly breaking down completely. Still very tasty but lacking any chew. Next time I may reserve a few to add mid cook so I can have some left with a little tooth.

[@arthurtaylor2593]

I guess I'm a Westerner? And I can definitely say, bring from New Orleans, I LOVE rice & beans! 😁 The Louisiana style is incredibly delicious! Highly recommended.

[@michaelhaugaard3111]

Bloody awesome again, Andy :) You are just on of my favourite on-line chefs. Nothing beats a laid-back ozzie.... Merry Christmas, mate.

[@srnunan4783]

Thanks for the Great video Andy, even us humble guys who aren’t great cooks can have a go at these and feed the family! You Sir are the true Legend, I swear you are single handedly helping people all over the world eat nicer meals with more variety every day.

[@cbpotts]

I plan to make all 3 of these but started with the Kielbasa Potatoes for dinner this evening. Oh my word. It was SO good. Even though there’s one that doesn’t like bell pepper and one that doesn’t care for kielbasa it was devoured. Thank you!

[@florianadolf2256]

As a German: In some regions over here, one-pot-meals are almost like religion. Nothing more wholesome than a well-prepared stew in the winter when it's cold out. Sometimes, simple is best.

[@MrYono73]

Thanks Andy. These three recipes rock! I’ve got a 8 & 12 year old and they both love them all. They call me a “chef” now and say Andy really knows how to cook yum! 😂 Could you do some more one pot wonders (not stir fry) please? A curry perhaps or pasta dish?

[@joshuanzuki3344]

Andy watching ur show is a mouthwatering wonderland mate.

[@evavant]

Thankful mom here from the Netherlands!! Potato Kielbasa is on the menu for tonight 😊.

[@joshuapatrick682]

9:24 being from Louisiana I immediately perked up when you said you were adding sausage to your beans and rice recipe..

[@joacirtavares555]

If you like rice and beans, you would like "baião de dois" a brasillian dish. I think you'd love ir. Love from 🇧🇷

[@stickmangrit]

as much as i doubt anyone will read this: THAT AIN'T A DAMNED MIRE POIX, MA DUDE, THAT'S THE TRINITY! Mire Poix is _carrots_ , Trinity is Bell Pepper.

Thank you for the amazing video as always chef!

[@andy_cooks]

[@Kiwi-Mel]

I really like your channel. Have picked up some wonderful ideas from you when the cooking mojo disappears for a few days. And curly parsley is ace! Not just for the butchers window. It's really earthy tasting and doesn't flollop 2 minutes after you pick it

[@osmaron]

I made 2 of 3 one pot meals - beans and rice which was new to me and potato kielbasa which is a version of what we sometimes do at my home. In Poland we have a good choice of Polish sausages (there are many different ones). The recipes are really good. I really liked them - I made my own variations but based on your recipe. Well done. Kielbasa potatoes is great!

[@juanjbrieva5168]

As a Spaniard, I must say I loved your pronunciation of the 'Z' in "chorizo", it sounds like /th/ in "thunder" or "thumb", but most English-native speakers still pronounce it like "choriTSo". Good job! (I must try this kielbasa, by the way!)

[@marroosh]

I would use a Turkish sausage in stead of kielbasa, let the spices from the sausage soak into the rest of the ingredients😋

[@andrewthomas1614]

Thanks Andy, the one pot meals are a winner for me when its time for dad to cook!

[@partfish6290]

I love curly parsley. When i was little, my moms easy side dish was red skin potatoes with butter and fresh parsley, and its so good, takes me right back!

[@Actualimmolator]

No one inspires me to cook like your videos do. I really appreciate the little insights you add about the food/cooking process 😊

[@andy_cooks]

You are so welcome!

[@nzbidzel]

2nd dish Chicken Cacciatone same but the canned tomatoes add the juice then the wholes grill or fresh halved in oven or fry or grill till starting to caramelise

[@padders1068]

These dishes would even be easy enough for a college student to make, or a very busy single Mother, a law enforcement officer working multiple 12 to 16 hour shifts several days a week, or even for older individuals! Im doing the Chorizo and Beans once first because I was literally salivating watching you make it! This was a great video! Can you please do more One Pot Meals? 😊

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

I make a really close dish to your sausage and peppers dish except I do the potato’s and onions almost like fried potato’s allowing the onions to carmelize a bit. I as the potato’s cook I add the peppers, then the sausage (smoked kielbasa & andouille), then leave the garlic for the last 3 minutes. It’s slightly garlic forward but a never ending up with the bitter garlic taste that comes from over cooking garlic

[@julierussell8876]

Loving the recipes so far. You Must have filmed these a wee while ago. You still had the induction top. Good idea to pre-film, smart!
