[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Stopped the video I was watching to watch Jess and Bunkey. They bring so much joy to my life. Both recipes look so delicious.

[@robylove9190]

Hey Alma and Tony ❤️ Have a wonderful night ❣️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@robylove9190 hey sweet friend. Thank you, you too. Hope you're doing well and staying cool in this heat.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Oh my ... I also stopped a video to watch this !!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

​@@bridgetgreene2457 aren't they the sweetest couple?! I just love them and Mandy and Steven.

[@okiefarmerswife7154]

I did too!!!! 😊

[@karik7579]

if you read the ingredients of the Italian seasoning it will tell you if it contains fennel. More than likely the fennel is in the sausage.

[@Mattavernyt]

I'm so glad you cook for two, instead of the massive amounts lots of cooking videos show. Also, I'm 84 and can't spend a lot of time cooking. I sit on a stool to cook, so making dishes in 30 minutes or a crockpot recipe is perfect for me.

[@missspell4897]

It’s funny you say Bunky. My late husband and I called/call our daughter Dunky. Lol so sweet, made me smile .

[@SonyaMarie826]

I grew up having ranch style beans mixed with ground beef, corn and cheese. Every week 😂. This is the first recipe I have seen where I actually want to use them as an adult.

[@lilypad342]

Oh that sounds good!!!!

[@kasarahr]

When I’m feeling overwhelmed I watch your cooking videos and they completely mellow me out 😂😂 I just adore you guys!

[@hellakitty4182]

Sausage has fennel. Italian seasoning usually doesn’t.

[@beanie7547]

Oh honey just mix up a cheese mixture and use a piping bag to fill the manicotti and you’ll have a truly wonderful experience. They also freeze well.

[@lilypad342]

How in the world have I never thought to put string cheese in a manicotti shell??? That is GENIUS!!! Oh my goodness I can’t wait to make this! You never stop learning I guess!!! That southwest chicken thing… ohhhhh myyy!!! I have a question that is totally off topic but Jessica what eye shadow are you wearing? I love it so much!! It’s so beautiful on you and make’s you beautiful blues pop even more. Thanks for all these delicious recipes

[@bonniepwtf]

Daisy sure enjoyed her little bite of string cheese, her eyes lit up. Two great meals and both of your enthusiasm really adds to making it a awesome video.

[@ashleyalesio158]

You could make a fancy pork and beans w those ranch style beans, but instead of hot dogs use smoked sausage or brats😊

[@jessicaodonohue]

I have to remember this recipe! That sounds amazing!!

[@sweetladyjane6462]

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR A LONG TIME!!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I ALSO WATCH YOU RV VIDEOS. LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!

[@Jennifermaner]

I was going to check to see when y'all's cookbook would be out? I know I would love one and I bet everyone else would too!!

[@dnl2escort]

Easier version than the one I make and stuffing those shells. Will definitely try your way.

[@lindagoff8263]

Hey y'all! First of all I just want to tell you all that I love y'all y'all are a blessing to me. Well actually to everyone. I am from South Carolina but I have lived in Texas for almost 40 years. Ranch style beans are a big here. People love them. They are really good with a steak.

[@sweetheart5062]

Girl those ranch style beans are delicious, try mixing them with a can of pinto beans and cheese make burritos. So good and perfect for when you’re out in the RV.

[@trudepettigrew7339]

Jessica😂😂 my husband and I were amazed that you have never tried Ranch Style beans. Ask the older ladies in your life if they have ever made the famous Tupperware party taco salad. One of the ingredients is a can of drained ranch style beans. My sister in law now call it "that salad." Itself delicious. I will definitely make your two recipes. Thanks for sharing.

[@missyfisher7579]

Tupperware party taco salad. I will google it. Yum. Never heard of ranch beans

[@trudepettigrew7339]

@@missyfisher7579 it feeds a crowd. Enjoy.

[@kaydragges6418]

Oh I forgot about that taco salad! It is so good

[@patriciaellen09]

Italian seasoning: 2 tbsp dried oregano, dried basil, dried parsley 1 tbsp dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried red pepper flakes, garlic powder I thought the red pepper flakes would be weird but it's not you can go with or without I went full on. I grow my own herbs and make my own seasoning mixes and I can't stand fennel.....you've gotta try this!!!! I put it on EVERYTHING

[@brendamartin3859]

Jessica, could you tell me where you got your gauze shirts? I’ve been looking for some just like the one’s you wore on your last video. Thank you.

[@ellamarieb5755]

Fennel is in Italian sausage! It's the spice that's long like rice!

[@wrenwranch]

We used to eat Ranch Style Beans quite a bit when we were kids. I remember dumping them in to one specific corning ware dish and serving them room temperature. Still love them to this day 😂

[@akankecai]

Omg I can’t believe you’ve never heard of Ranch Style beans! Try steak on the grill, ranch style beans and homemade fries. Best ever!

[@kimberlygarrett5385]

You two are too cute. We have had Ranch Style Beans forever with our BBQs. I would say that for at least two decades they were the only canned beans I bought as I am not a fan of Pork 'n' Beans at all. Went to the grocery store today, but will be going again tomorrow for the manicotti recipe.

[@marysuehaag1621]

Just a couple of tips: Put the water in your sauce jar and swirl to get every last bit of goodness. Leftovers are AMAZING!! ❤this recipe.

[@jessicaodonohue]

Great idea!! I should have done that!!

[@maryannbutler4659]

I saw same manicotti recipe on cook clean and repeat.Must try it.

[@Meredith81972]

Y’all make my life in the kitchen so much easier with the fantastic recipes!!!! Can’t wait to try these two AND the new cereal!!!! Hugs and blessings 🥰🥰

[@jessicaodonohue]

Awww we love you so much!! Thank you! You made our day!!💗💗💗

[@tamiarmstrong7619]

Ya’ll are just such a cute couple, and ya’ll make the best recipes. All I can say is yummy!!! Have a blessed day.

[@caroljones1595]

My Texas husband taught me about ranch style beans….. I never looked back, yes please!

[@EstherSummerlott]

Tip for opening jars, give the bottom a couple good smacks works every time for me 😊

[@letitbee7248]

As a kid, my mother served Ranch Style Beans at least once a week. She would cut up hot dogs and cook them in the beans and serve it with Kraft Mac & Cheese. I'm so burned out on both. lol.

[@donnabacon4681]

But with the Chicken Fiesta, they aren't the main ingredient, and being mixed in with so many other ingredients, it may not be so bad??? I know, you'll know they are in there, but just go for the taste and not think about those beans.

[@mindyhenthorne8067]

You look so cute and rested, look good in yellow

[@Meredith81972]

Happy Labor Day!! ❤

[@KarensTownsend9]

My grandchildren would love this!

[@janisraytik845]

My very italian son in law absolutely hates italian seasoning. He does not like oregano, says its too strong and overpowering flavor. So instead of using the italian seasoning, I use herb de Provence. It's basically the same herbs minus the oregano. Love watching your videos!❤

[@vickiebirchfield1722]

Cutest couple! I will definitely try these recipes!!❤

[@katherinenelson2742]

That is such an easier way to make manicotti! I'm going to say it's probably the marjoram because there is no fennel in it. Love both your channels ❤

[@madgeteegarden-tc4fr]

I so understand Bunky’s reaction. Oh my goodness!!😮❤

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

Omg the way y’all described the meals in the taste test ….I’m DROOLING !! 😂 I’m sitting here nodding my head to the descriptions like “yessss the cheese and jalapeño sour cream?! Mmhmm” 😂🤣🤤

[@jannikoley9627]

I’ve made this recipe. It’s so easy using the string cheese, but I also put ricotta with Italian herbs in it as well.

[@kathypancoast5055]

It’s not manicotti without ricotta inside the pasta tube.

[@lisasunshine8744]

Always season your food while it cooks hun. And like you said layers of flavor...yes ma'am!

[@GrandmaPatty49]

Made the manicotti casserole. I used 1 pound of ground beef, and a 1/2 pound of sweet Italian sausage, ground. Other than that, I made it like the way you and Bunky did. The only issue with it, was with my son (42 years old) put a too big piece in his mouth at once, and almost choked on the melted cheese! lol. My one picky 7 year old granddaughter ate 2 of the manicotti pasta! She took out the cheese, probably because she heard her uncle say how he almost choked. Great recipe!

[@SmilinsShrinking]

I don't know how I missed this video when you first put it out, but I'm so happy I watched it today! I made that chicken rice Fiesta bowl of awesome!!!😁😁😁 it was so easy & just incredible!!! This will be going on my menu rotation!! I just love watching you guys!!!❤❤🥰

[@ericarandall2692]

These recipes look delicious! Knorr also makes Taco Rice that you could use and then you wouldn’t have to use the taco seasoning packet. I’m definitely putting these on my meal plan soon, thanks! Maybe burritos… maybe make the rice dish a meatless meal using two can of beans instead of chicken. 🤔 You’ve sparked some ideas in my head. 😂

[@natewrites7803]

The Bunkies! Love the old school jazzy big band music you always play!

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Many Italian sausage blends have fennel. My husband has an adverse reaction to it, so I will avoid fennel 👍🏻

[@deborahdaniels9163]

Love you guys, Bunkey cracks me up

[@wandamay13]

I agree with Bunky about the Italian seasoning.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

OMG ... at the end Buncky was literally reading my mind when he said on a bed of tortillas chips!!!! Yes , please!!!!!! And I could have some chopped cilantro on mine!

[@allisonkores8785]

I’m in Texas and I can’t believe you haven’t had Ranch Beans!? But the important thing to remember is now…you know!!😂

[@lindagoff8263]

Allison I was telling them the same thing LOL. Just saw yours after I finish telling them when I said LOL

[@deborahwilliams-rowley4281]

Good Evening Jess try holding the jar in one hand and hit the bottom of the jar with the palm of your other hand works about 8 out of 10 trys

[@terrierickson439]

We eat those beans all the time! Delicious! Sometimes hard to find.

[@BreezyDaBaddest]

I’ll bet that second dish would be awesome as burritos 🤤

[@joanneslattery3077]

I can't believe I never thought to use String Cheese to put in Manacotes. I never would make them or eat them because of the Ricotta cheese in them. I now can make them for me. Thank you so VERY much. ❤

[@moakley60]

I love watching your mama on your videos. 🙂

[@jgarcia4721]

A lot of Italian seasoning has dried basil which isn't as good of a flavor as fresh.

[@beverlytimm6275]

Hey Bunkie kids! Love the string cheese in the manicotti shells simply adorable. And so freaking easy. But yes, my husband doesn’t like fennel either and too much of it. I don’t like either. Have a wonderful fall you kids. You make me smile every time I watch you guys.!🧡🖤🧡🖤🎃

[@RoseMRiley]

Looks delicious and yummy 😋 😍 👌 😊 👍 😊😊

[@karenminchers5606]

Jessica, those are the beans that I use in the chicken burrito crock pot recipe I sent you. They also come in ranch style black beans.

[@pdavis6645]

Happy Hump Day, Mr & Mrs B!! I'm definitely trying the fajita chicken skillet, and yes, I agree with bunkey about adding tortilla chips😋😋😋

[@kris_5]

I can't wait to make that chicken dish. I'm gonna crush some tortilla chips and put them over the top for some extra added crunch! Great job, as usual, you two!

[@donate1sttt]

This looks good, different 😮. My grandpa, his brothers all worked for Rock Island Railroad,Eldon Iowa. Our community had lots of railroaders. The old depot now lil museum led by their daughters. I'll try this recipe and share with others.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Never disappointed with my 2 Bunkey’s !!! Both of these looked great ,,, but I was with Mr.B on the anticipation of the chicken , corn, bean one !! That had my mouth watering and I couldn’t wait for both of your thoughts on it !! Thank You and Blessings to you both and Daisy !!

[@shaunaneely260]

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Louisville

[@TrimansWife]

Definitely going to make the manicotti Friday! So much easier than stuffed shells, which my family requests way too often!

[@kathycoblentz4852]

I love watching you two interact, you are so fun together! I also love the music you use for your videos! so jazzy! great recipes, thanks!

[@jillmiklinevich3942]

Yessss the bunkies did it again ❤❤😊😊

[@apriltownsend8463]

My mom makes the typical ricotta mixture but she puts the ground beef IN it vs on it

[@kellyhays2314]

I'm originally from Texas and Ranch Style beans were a staple in our pantry. We moved to NC and have to find them at Walmart.

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

My mom used to make homemade manicotti, noodles and everything! I haven't had it in years! I've never had it with mozzarella inside the noodle but I love cheese of almost any kind. haha Everything looks delicious as usual! 😊

[@mariananderson7364]

It’s definitely fennel to me, I can’t abide it! Lol!

[@mattandbarbhartt2860]

This chicken recipe would be great over a baked potato! Love watching you both!

[@blee1499]

Love watching you both. You’re my favorite.

[@sandymurray5927]

You guys are so cute together! Just a perfect match.❤ Love your recipes and the joy you spread.

[@sarahbeth3694]

My mom makes her chili with the ranch style beans. I can't wait to make both recipes.

[@sydneykasmar]

Using the cheese stick to fill the pasta turned on my desire for cooking again.

[@melissab1044]

The cereals look delicious! And both of your recipes look easy and delicious! I love casseroles!

[@sharidana.9681]

These looked so so good oh my...can I also say Ms Jessica you have the prettiest eyes!! I really notice when your hair is back 😊

[@26NJ]

Bunny said it right, put on top of tortillas chips

[@pamking8137]

We eat ranch style beans as a side all the time! We’re from Texas!

[@amandaweaver6575]

Thanks!

[@jimmys2133]

Ranch style beans is a staple here. I'm in South Texas. Google King Ranch I'm in Kingsville the heart of King Ranch.

[@gccheryl4038]

awesome recipes! only one thing missing from that 2nd dish - some nice warm tortillas on the side. yum.

[@kimstaggenborg3928]

Definitely going to try the fiesta chicken, looks good and no oven in this heat. Thanks guys. I have been making some of your crockpot recipes lately to save time and not heat up the kitchen. It’s so funny, if I serve something new my husband always asks, is this a Bunkey recipe? Also I think it’s so cute you call each other Bunkey. My husband and I call each other honee and have for the last 30 years.

[@okiefarmerswife7154]

Ranch Style beans are the BEST 😊

[@larryburbige]

Made the Frito corn salad….awesome…brought to family bbq…everyone wanted the recipe.

[@1melannlit]

FYI: ranch style beans (brand) and Van Camp beans are both original to Texas, big surprise. Alot of yummy brand foods have come from Texas. I love beans also, but my mom doesn't eat beans so they always become a side dish or a separate addition to the main entree.

[@jeanwalker3697]

Jessica you should add Ranch Style Beans to chili sometime! So So good😊!!

[@wilenemoss4575]

I’m from Fort Worth Texas and Ranch Style beans are made here. We all have been raised on them and yes they are delicious. Try them in your chili recipe or taco soup recipe but don’t drain that delicious juice.

[@raniyaplayz2807]

Y’all bring joy watching you two cook.

[@rhondaroo8303]

I'm adding these both to my meal plan this next week. As for the Ranch Style Beans...I'm in Texas, and I grew up eating them, so they are a staple in our pantry. They are so good, and they go well with any dish. We also put them in our homemade chili too....look for the ones with jalapenos in them. They are amazing!

[@lilypad342]

Me too!!!! These are absolutely perfect recipes right here!

[@mayshellemyers4675]

It's kinda like a Mexican rice I make with ground beef. I put shredded lettuce and green onions on top.the crunch of the cold lettuce is so good with it.

[@donnaestes2473]

I just found your channel and absolutely love it! Since all our kids are grown and out of the house, I am always looking for recipes that will feed just two people. And yours look delicious! Can't wait to try them all! Keep up the good work ! God bless

[@angelamarcinkevich9202]

Mix the 2 cereals together I bet it would taste good

[@PeacefulAreas]

Yummy!!! Do you ever check how much sodium is in taco seasoning and knorr rice pack? I can't have Alot of sodium. Just wondering. Love both your channels!

[@GrandmaSandy]

Oh my gosh I always love a quick easy yummy meal to make. Thanks for sharing another great recipe something new and different for dinner quick and easy on a budget.

[@thejessicawilliamswithyoun4946]

I love chicken spinach manicotti ❤ This the kids will like 🎉

[@laurapaul9795]

I had to try this. I used the string cheese but mixed beef and pork, 3 cheese on top and a roasted garlic and herb sauce. Omg. It was amazing

[@jenniferbarbosa1521]

I think the marjoram in the Italian seasoning is what gives it the weird flavor.

[@janetdwyer1867]

Glad you and bunked enjoyed your vacation love your recipes ❤

[@stephanie2]

Looks all so delicious ❤

[@angelamarcinkevich9202]

Oh I just said mix the 2 together and Bunky said oh my word .
