Just Add Water I Struggle Meals

[@Selina95]

Frankie yelling at me to get my life together.... is what i need...

[@FrankieCooks]

and look into a ROTH IRA right now - you'll thank me when you're 59.5 years old. no joke.

[@oOh0ShiOo]

Last recipe is an orzotto! We call it like that in italy. Very well done! Risotto: riso = rice / Orzotto: orzo = barley

[@FrankieCooks]

infatti hai ragione!

Julius from Everybody Hates Chris would love this. "That's 81 cents worth of chicken!"

[@deneseboyd9378]

LOL

[@mesiroy1234]

[@finnmccool7543]

Late on your student loans! I heard that. This is a smart idea for a series. Also good idea for all of those "city preppers" who love Tastemade. Buy in bulk!

[@TheChickenRiceBowl]

Why'd you put city preppers in quotations?

[@rgiselle]

This guy is AMAZING! Keep up the good job.

[@JustNatax3]

Yeaaahhh more on a budget cheapo recipes please!

[@cinderoonie]

The Struggle Meals series is lovely. What an engaging and humorous host. Wish he could grocery shop and meal prep with me for an afternoon. I’d learn a lot!

[@Tastemade]

More episodes are coming soon. Stay tuned!

[@JediShaina]

His passion for food could make me watch him for DAYS! Frankie is such an inspiration and a great food educator! Thanks!

[@jennr6764]

The White bean chicken chili…I just made it, a ton of flavour!!!! Struggle meals is my new fav show with costs increasing

[@Tsukikorao]

As a broke as dude I LOVE this new series. More Struggle Meals please!

[@Gorilla_Chaos]

This comment section is legit half “THANK YOU SO MUCH!” and half “THIS ISNT CHILI!” Beautiful.

[@julieanncheshire9960]

This is where an Instant Pot is totally earns its keep! A pound of just about any bean, 5C water for 55 minutes on high pressure and you have gorgeous cooked beans, better than canned and SO CHEAP without any soaking. Great for making cheap yogurt too. Thanks for doing cool things with barley--I've never had it before, so this is great inspiration.

[@vanessacowles-turner8703]

did you just look me in my face and tell me that was chili? as a person born and raised in arizona i have to say, im personally offended lol

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Ahah Texas here. What chili??

[@eddie2000ad]

Same

[@hannah2662]

dude same

[@dafty4183]

im from (x) and you are telling me that THIS is (y)? don't even get me started!

[@kenshinhimura9387]

I'm from Michigan and this is NOT chile. no tomato, tomato sauce, ground beef, actual chile or chile powder. I mean come on. I was expecting some spicy delicious looking chile. Got some nasty looking vegan soup instead.

[@GarmanyRachel]

That is NOT chili. Go stand in the corner.

[@Hens1123Minecraft]

finally someone who agrees

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Lol 😂

[@goodi2shooz]

Truth!

[@spicybeantofu]

Cause there's no tomatoes? I cant eat tomatoes so I like his chillu.

[@GarmanyRachel]

Ginger Kubicz No, because there are no chilis... the very definition of chili is a stew made with peppers. This is just chicken soup.

[@mzmoon100]

Frankie this is my favorite vid of yours!!!! You do the low budget vids that make sense to a low budget fridge and they're not disrespectful!!

[@FrankieCooks]

happy to have struck the right chord!

[@goldenduck7294]

$0.27 of salt??? How much are you using.

[@nslouka90]

I can get it for free

[@ivylee42069]

I was thinking the same then $0.01 same amount of salt 🤔🤣🤣

[@BEASTLYKIMCHI]

Frankie is the hype man I need when I grocery shop and cook. This series is great!! Keep up the great, nutritious creativity. Love how economically inspiring these recipes are.

[@SabrinaCrapCaptain]

why does this sound and edited like its from a sitcom lmaoo

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Because it is 😱

[@Kihidokid]

Due to my Texas citizenship it is my birthright and duty to kindly and verbally deny that the forst concoction was chili for chili must be prepared sans beans and requires the use of dried peppers.

[@bufordchambers7089]

Anthony Ingram Never heard of squash in chile this is just a variation of chicken soup.

[@Kihidokid]

Buford Chambers i wasn't talking about squash i was talking about the beans lol that being said Cereal is a variation of a soup.

[@aprilcole7433]

I was just about to say they same thing but you beat me to it.

[@anaparker6976]

amen to that

[@ExaltedDuck]

I've heard of using turkey instead of beef to make a lower calorie chili but I've never heard of using chicken and bean soup to make a lower chili chili.

[@dandan141414]

Great videos. The funny thing is that the prices he uses are significantly higher than what I typically see in a medium cost of living city. I'm pretty sure I can make his $2 recipe for about $.75 -- which is awesome when I'm feeding 5. Also -- love the sauce drawer!!!

[@genealogydr]

Hi Frankie, I know that this isn't the episode that uses raisin water instead of wine, (can't find it the name of that episode though I watched it this past week) but I wanted to say thank you for that episode. I don't use wine in cooking (I don't drink it, do my best not to touch alcohol- even looking for a vanilla extract substitute) and it's extremely difficult to find any cooking shows of any kind that use substitutes for wine in cooking. The one using raisin water is the first one that I've seen on KZbin, and I wanted to say a deep thank you. Best, Amanda Jensen

[@5ystemError]

Frankie when are you gonna post the recipe for those stir fried quarters in the intro???? Looks good af

[@musicgurl824]

Yeah that one is a must! 😂😂

[@Vivisays]

This guy's energy is amazing! I love it :)

[@pastel_guts81]

this is actually a really amazing idea that you've got going on. out of all the channels on youtube, this is actually one of the most useful. too many people go hungry due to their money struggles, and this is a great way of helping them learn how to manage their money and get a good, tasty meal. bravo to you!

[@WreckageandDisaster]

Ugh man this guy .makes me hungry and happy at thr same time.

[@nfin8one]

The chili literally had no chile in it. It was just bean and squash stew. Don't call it chili if there is literally no chili in it.

[@alyssaguess]

nfin8one I’m guessing he called it chili bc there was beans in it

[@nfin8one]

I get where you're coming from, but chili without chili is like making a "chicken sandwich" with hamburger and it's ok because it's meat in a bun. What he made is bean stew. I like bean stew, but it's not chili. In conclusion, a bean is not a chili. A ham is not a tofu. An egg is not a tomato. You can't just call it something because you want to.

[@billbraski]

@@nfin8one sofrito.... onions and garlic he says..... well hes 1/3 the way there.

[@aidanoleary8012]

Loving this channel! You should do an episode about the setting up a kitchen on a budget! I'm working well with what I have, but a few more essentials could really help!

[@thewoofamily8951]

Amazing. Chef is charming, funny, clever, and makes cooking these budget meals look so fun! Wish he would offer more in the way of inexpensive cuts of meat, because a lot of us are avoiding carbs and trying for a more Paleo and/or Keto diet.

[@MarcusNorton1024]

I love the Barley Risotto. It is absolutely delicious. We are having it for dinner tonight, but also plan on making it for some friends next month when they have a baby. Sending a sincere thanks!

[@kippy7883]

Whether or not it counts as chili, it’s one of my favorite struggle meal recipes of all time. It’s the comfort food I’ve been missing my entire life!!

[@mattallen8136]

Agreed. I make it every year, and I’ll even make the barley salad on the side with the other half of the squash. So cheap and easy.

[@carlaiovino1102]

I love this series! Some breakfast ideas would be really appreciated!

[@FrankieCooks]

season 2 - it's on the way

[@annie711pm]

Seriously Frankie is in my top 5 favorite chefs. Your personality is bomb, your recipes are perfection, and the entire vibe is hella-enjoyable. I love when new vids are posted!!!!!!

[@dwsmilee6]

Cheap and healthy. This is exactly what I need. As always, Frankie, you're the man

[@papakralj]

Great show! I made the risotto and it tasted awsome, but it took me quite a bit more than 35 min to cook the barley...

[@MindOfMoonhunter]

Gotta admit: I love how Frankie cooks and is. More episodes please!

[@WilletteB]

Buying in bulk was the best habit I ever acquired. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

[@diamundetailor1277]

You’re an excellent presenter and I hope you go far.

[@bledsoetx]

This is NOT chili . . . this is SOUP.

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Called chicken chili it is out there lol

[@raybalzzthepoonslayer2014]

@@Kt-cn2rq but there's no chili peppers or chili powder silly boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[@G40rc3]

is a soup not more liquid than the end result we saw here? could one actually still call it a soup? in the end screw it, when broke as fuck food is good and good food is even better ^_^

[@nisamelis5724]

We just want something to eat when we're broke we don't care what the name is

[@jr52990]

As a struggling college student I approve. :)

[@sergiovenegas6913]

These recipes are the reason i pay my rent 2 months in advance now not only do i spend less on groceries, but i aslo get to have more food for less. I started storing dry goods and man oh man its cheaper then cans and the options are endless. This is a must watch for young adults who are living on there own.

[@reinismartinsons]

27 cents of salt? That would be like a whole kilogram of salt in Europe

[@abdallaahmed780]

I was thinking the same. A kilo box costs a dollar here sooo

[@edxdd4]

THIS IS AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!! PLS KEEP DOING IT

[@Ashannon1990]

Just made the white bean chili. Absolutely delicious (and cheap). Thank you!

[@veryberry39]

Just discovered this guy today, and I'm kind of in love.

Forget being affordable -I’m just thinking easy and delicious! These will be in my dinner plans for next week. Really enjoy the video -fun and to the point.

[@kathieponder7708]

I love this guy. Get your own show on Food Network.

[@aeriellemitchell9382]

I love this guy. Why isn't this show more popular?!

[@goddessofflash]

Frankie 🙌🏻 I need someone like you in my life!

[@nobody-ft7vg]

okay like this is good but i don't like what has happened to frankie like this series is just him shouting bring back frankies world where he can actually teach and be himself instead of the guy from mad money

[@joeyfatonefrombackstreetboys]

You obviously haven't watched much Frankie. He is just a guy who's passionate about cooking and it has shown ever since I started watching him years ago.

[@FrankieCooks]

I enjoy creating anything that people enjoy watching - Frankie's World will come back one day - it's really hard to write for I need to do so much studying.

[@phisicoloco]

You know that they continue that series on their website, right?

[@distortion20]

I actually like this better. I watched some of his older vids, and he was so bland it seemed like he actually hated what he was doing. I don't bother with them anymore lol.

[@ugh2009]

Just buy those Ramen noodles that come in 20 packs. There's a few recipes out there. Don't get me wrong Chili is good but, I don't think that's Chili.

[@marcel1372]

yea if you wanna OD on sodium

[@herpderpy9445]

You're right that it's not chili, but consistent eating of instant ramen has been linked to metabolic syndrome due to the TBHQ preservative.

[@donhawryluk9217]

These struggle meals are the best!

[@bettywilder3739]

Frankie is so cute!

[@Meliissa1129]

So I love this series and tried the barley risotto. It is SO YUMMY. Thank you!!

[@miazangl1543]

For the barley risotto, did you also previously soak and cook the barley? Or were you adding it in dry? Thanks!

[@MrMoustacheNinja]

Haha this episode was awesome!!! Keep up the awesome work! Also I love the whole "or someone who's behind on student loans" 😂

[@akirasaito1551]

“With this barley salad, you get six days of food...” Dude, you eat one tiny portion of salad everyday? 😂

[@Bluxdemon]

i love this series.

[@deonnaprince7550]

I so glad I found you! This channel is great! Thank you!

[@Gobser21]

Barley risotto is really great!

[@wickandde]

When you boil the barley don't throw out the water! Let it cool, add a tiny bit of sugar or honey and drink it. Great in the summer, Barely water is excellent for cooling the body. My grandmother used to make that drink, it's really popular in most of Asia :)

[@HisforHaha]

I really like this guy! :) I can watch him all day!

This adorable man. I love the enthusiasm he puts into everything. 😁
