I commented something similar on the original video. That making beans with an actually nice tasting cheese sauce would probably be noticeably more expensive than making them with tomato sauce. And since people expect to pay the same for different versions of a product like that, the cheese version probably wouldn't be a great seller. Or they would have to cut so many corners, it wouldn't taste very appealing anymore.

Hey shrimp, I think your aioli split because the garlic wasn't ground smooth enough to stably emulsify the oil. Of course a pestle and mortar would be ideal, but perhaps next time after the crusher, you could crush the garlic on a chopping board using the flat side of a knife just to get it a little smoother.

Old Texas lady told me the secret to tender Black-Eyed peas is soda in the water. Yup honey and milk are flavored by what the maker animal fed on, also cheese will pick up flavors from the environment which is why it needs sealed in the fridge. Savory tastes something like black pepper but is related to sage, thus the digestive effect. The basis of any béchamel type sauce is 1tablespoon butter, one tablespoon flour,1 cup milk for regular sauce. To cream veggies it is 2 Tbl butter and 2 Tbl flour to a cup of milk so it doesn't get too watery. I have never used the 3 Tbl version,I think that would be for spreading on something like lasagna. If you convert from volumetric it won't matter of course, as long as the ratio is always the same. the 1Tbl version should be good for a cheese sauce since the cheese will make it thick and rich. I would probably top it with bacon crumbles but I am not sure British style bacon can make those.

When I was a kid in the late 70's we had a thing called the "Cheesy Beano". The Beano part probably because we read The Beano and lived not far from DC Thomson's HQ in Dundee. The Cheesy Beano was pretty simple. Take a Scottish "morning roll" and cut in half and toast both sides for a bit, just until slightly golden brown, no more. Then top with cooked baked beans and lavish with shredded coloured cheddar cheese covering all of the exposed roll parts. The final, but optional, ingredient was a wee squirt of tomato ketchup and then shove the two halves under the grill until the cheese bubbled and got a wee bit of a char on top. This was a cheap and cheerful, if lethally lava hot (that ketchup option), lunch that filled us up to then head outside again to play kick the can or whatever other nonsense we played back then.

Looks delicious and nutritious 😉 After watching the canned stuff yesterday, I was wondering how regular baked beans would taste with some semi-molten cubes of cheese in it. Might try that soon.

My friend is an amateur cook and he recently asked me how he could make his own Mac and cheese. I told him to try a bechamel base like the one you made, since he probably has all the ingredients. He went and found a recipe on Google that asked for half a grocery store and 3 hours of work somehow, got scared, and just grated cheese onto plain pasta. I think I'll send him your video, just to demonstrate that making a cheese sauce is no life or death situation, that you can just use 4 common ingredients, and not worry about all the confusing fine dining precision that scared him off.

You'll be doing him a big favor, because a bechamel is the basis of so many recipes - lasagna, moussaka, all kinds of gratins, soufflés, pasta sauces, soups... I can't imagine where he found a complicated recipe.

@@chezmoi42 yeah. He somehow found lecordon bleu cheese sauce recipe online as the first result, and he's not experienced enough to tell that he didn't find a good source. It had 5 stars, but only 4 people reviewed it. I'd trust a 4 star recipe with 300 reviews much more. It instructed him to pin a bay leaf to an onion with a clove, simmer it in the sauce, and then strain it out with a china cap. He doesn't have half of that! You don't need any of that to make a bechamel cheese sauce for dinner! It's just fascinating what kinds of mistakes novices make. It's not even their fault, how would they know? I much prefer to introduce people to recipes with videos like this, which explain the "why" of each step, as well as additions you can skip or include to taste.

@@AppleIPie Exactly, and there are so many very good folks teaching basic techniques right here on YT. I'm so old I learned to cook with Julia Child on TV. I was lucky enough to finally meet her and have my two books signed when she came to Seattle just before I retired and moved to France in '92. Your friend could do worse than to find her videos here and start with her reassuring presence beside him.

@@AppleIPie I've heard a lot about him. There are so many good resources on line now, it's hard to know where to start. I go to people who amuse me now, which is why I'm here. I also adore Max on Tasting History, and Adam Ragusea is like visiting with a somewhat hyper friend. Downshiftology is just what it sounds like, delicious and easy, with lots of meal prep ideas for busy people (heh - at 82, I'm not very). In between, I just look for a recipe for an ingredient and make happy discoveries - like "what shall I do with these old rice papers?" led me to Chung's K Food. She has fun ideas, and such a sunny personality.

This is exactly what I expected from the can video and I think Heinz missed the boat in the idea of a tomato based sauce with a hint of cheese. To me, a cheese sauce should have cheese as the primary flavor component and anything else should be just background. Thats to me at any rate. If I grabbed that can off the shelf and opened it without reading further I would have also been disappointed.
