Cheapest Burger Meal Ever | But Cheaper

I want to see a meal prep series. $75 for groceries and you have to create breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the 5 work days. Has to include 3 different recipes for each meal

I have a kid with an egg allergy, so seeing an eggless bun recipe (minus the wash) that looks great is encouraging.

[@rightwrightwriter]

The thing I like about this series is that I can pick which elements to make from scratch for my own money-saving efforts. Like, I might make a big batch of buns and keep them in the freezer, but I’m much more likely to just buy them. I’m very likely to make my own soda, since I hate lugging home soda from the store and have a Sodastream. I already grind my own burger mix, so I’m very likely to do smash patties this way and really need to get a burger smasher thing like that. I would need to try making the tots once to tell how much better they are than frying some frozen ones. But, the spirit of the series really drives home how expensive/poopy fast food can be and how I can afford to cook at home, as long as I’m careful not to over-buy/waste and feel up to it.

[@rebeccacampbell585]

I was tempted by the burger smasher contraption but I remembered I already have a big spatula and that will do.

I feel like "gourmet burger" at restaurants today are like £15 for a relatively decent burger, 6 fries and a small, raw slaw of some kind in a single frond of lettuce. Double points if it arrives on a cutting board, with a newspaper bag of chips shoved in to a metal container of some kind. That's what you're paying for these days - they didn't buy plates.

[@descendency]

An "artisan burger" (ie, it has an egg on it) is like $30 plus sales tax and being guilted into 25+% tip these days... so like $40. For a burger.

[@debrasedgwick4697]

[@sanmedbij]

I have a suggestion. I've seen you so many times make but cheaper but you've almost always made it for multiple servings. And the price you show is for only 1 serving. I think it would be helpful if you showed the total price for all the servings or just give a rough idea for how many servings you've made.

[@Eclyptical]

True. For all we know he's buying everything in bulk and making 50 servings to bring the price per serving down

[@thomaslequesne5475]

@@Eclyptical that's really the only way he can lower the price like he does and even then he's not being completely straightforward. If you don't have the necessary equipment it's always much longer and often more expensive.

[@cjenui]

well if this makes 16 servings like he claims then this would cost around $60

[@jamersonhaddock2552]

The cost for this is variable. It is dependent upon if you’re making single or double burgers as that effects the overall cost of ingredients as the amounts needed would change.

[@katieociardha2196]

You could multiply the single serve price by the serving amount you want

I like that these are meals we can make, instead of just one thing. If theres enough of these there will be a pretty decent variety of mix and match options. Good way of sneaking in drink recipes too in case one doesnt want to make a video on just that.

[@MsCataclism]

I just made this. My buns didn't look anything like his and I didn't get the timing right so the tots were cold when the burgers were done. The blackberry soda was absolutely amazing! And it was easy to make. Now that I've done this once, I will certainly do this again. Everything tasted great. The made from scratch buns were simply delicious. I learned a burger press is really important because I couldn't get it flat enough with the handle of my burger patty press. And the best part about this? Other than the delicious taste? It was cheap to make. 5 stars!

[@jayson1505]

Hey baybeh, so I don't have a burger press when I make burgers so here's what I do, portion out your raw meat balls, take one between two parchment papers and use a rolling pin, or heavy pan/pot to flatten Them. Then take one parch meant paper off, season one side as you desire and put the flat patty on the cooking surface of choice and have a great time

[@briangrice1999]

Awesome shot out to George Motz !! Love his burger show! Great episode today!! 👏

[@HoneydenBirb]

Would you ever consider doing a video on a EBT/Food Stamps budget? I never see any bigger food channels actually talk about this, even though a lot of people use them. I know some would argue that these would work for them, but a good amount of the time these videos don’t take into account actually buying the base ingredients. With food prices how they are right now, it’s hard to actually do stuff like this. Trying to figure out how to feed 4 people on $67 for ingredients for a week (just around $9ish a day) is difficult.

[@BrittneeDrummer]

Hey I Recomended skin on chicken thighs. Roast in oven and serve with steamed rice! Cabbage is super affordable too. Maybe green beans? I would have to look to see what a good deal on veg would be.

[@jasminep6195]

I also notice whole chickens are cheap so if you have some knife skills you can cut up the chicken and get 8-10 pieces! Rice is always a cheap option and it’s very versatile.

[@BrittneeDrummer]

@@jasminep6195 yes agreed. The more fabrication we can do the cheaper the price point gets. Chicken quarters are great price too. Add potatoes to meat mixture to “stretch” the meal. Potatoes in taco meat, meatloaf etc. just remember about the fatty beef (Josh didn’t make the point), but your buying fat. It’s rendering (melting) out of beef. 80/20 is as far as I’ll go with cost. 75/25 makes the juiciest burger but 25% of cost is running down your arms eating the burger… 😍 yum! Lol

This series is great I just wished they would adjust the prices per item purchased instead of its price adjusted by the ingredient's portion size. Maybe find the cheapest package for that individual item and have that be part of the pricing list. Cuz you can make the most expensive cheese cheap if you just use a pinch of it.

[@Facewizard13]

I agree - we need meals made with all the ingredients purchased. No one buys 30 cents of cheese. We buy 24 slices at a time :p

[@allenthurman7577]

Only one small critique/suggestion when you press a burger on the heat you force out the rendered fat. If you press into salt, onion and garlic powder and black pepper off the heat (i just use a cold small sheet tray) you keep the fat in the burger plus you inbed the seasoning in the meat as well. Also if you add seasoning this way instead of mixing it in ground beef you dont run the risk of over working your meat.

[@jonathangayas]

How do you guys do deep frying for cheap? When I do this I had to buy like $20 CAD for oil that I can stretch to 2 cookings, so that’s basically $10 per serving.

[@vgamesx1]

Oil is reusable, I've used the same oil for at least 4 or 5 things and of course it takes longer, but a smaller pot helps too.

[@cherie7100]

If it's not burnt you can re-use it. Let it cool down, strain anything that's in it and use it again. This works best for savoury items as oil can take on the flavour of some ingredients. We used to do this and it saves so much money.

[@Eclyptical]

I use peanut oil and reuse it 3-4 times. Also helps to use a small diameter but deeper pot to fry it in so you use less oil to submerge stuff.

[@jasminep6195]

This could definitely work for you. You just have to open your mind a little more. All of these ingredients would be about $12-15 (if you opt for 1lb of beef and omit the drink). You can make the rest of the burgers frozen patties since it’s just you and cook them when you want them.

[@Eclyptical]

The key is to freeze stuff to make multiple meals out of the same amount of work. I make 8 burger patties, 8 buns, and a bunch of tots and then when I feel like a burger I throw the buns in the oven to thaw, throw a frozen burger on a cast iron pan and then fry the tots straight from frozen at the same time.

You’d have to make this meal, with your initial food haul, 3.2x minimum and that doesn’t include cost of replacing the fresh ingredients each time you cook, especially the beef! Everyone isn’t iron chef with all the tools, and whose got the time or money for cooking plus buying all the hardware. Some people can make more money in the time it takes to make this meal offsetting any of your perceived savings from buying out. Furthermore, most hardworking people don’t have the luxury to “eat on the cheap”. Another ludicrous Gen Z preaching how easy it is to save money, just to keep the clicks rolling in.

Can you do a freezer meal prep like how to pre make meals that you keep in the freezer and cook when ready

[@MONi_LALA]

Cheeseburger meal is one of those thing you get because you want something decent fast. But it's a 100% times better when you make it yourself. I wouldn't recommend making your own bread since it's gonna take too much time, just buy some brioche buns abd you'll be set. Loved the tators instead of fries option. And making your own cheeseburger will definitely fired up your smoke alarm so enjoy making it.

Add some good rum or whisky to the drink for an adult beverage

[@bobbyjohnson6410]

I made this, verbatim. A) Phenomenal recipe. I'll never buy frozen tater tots again and the drink was a great alternative to soda. B) it took me three hours, start to finish, and I had to run my dishwasher once. Otherwise, it was incredible.

Meal prep series needed for a week of food pleaseeee

[@goshisanniichi]

Should do an episode of Butt Butter for Kool-Aid. Not the finished drink either. A powder that can be stored indefinitely and mixed with sugar and water to make the drink anytime.

Your skills is so amazing you can create great food. How about avocado buns with fresh avocado fiilings and patty?

Josh single handedly trying to put every restaurant out of business showing how to cook good food for reasonable prices.

[@zacharywong483]

Really nice video Josh! That burger crunch at the end was soooo good!

[@gbalao8885]

We all came for 5:14. Honestly Josh needs to a compilation of him saying "B-roll" followed by his top 100 favorite sequences.

papa talking mad fast to save us even more time

[@brandom6137]

The buns sooo beautiful

[@RatedNforNick]

For those of us that don’t have a successful YT channel and can’t use ad revenue to buy a stand mixer or cutting board counter top or professional vegetable slicer, just go with store bought items and hope for the best.

Burger meals in Australia are about $18-$27 for the burger alone (from a burger shop)
