3 Pantry Dinners! Using what I have to make Winner Dinners! 178

[@diannewelt155]

Mandy, your family is just a blessing to watch. I'm from the "older generation". Seldom used a recipe, except for baking. I'm from "scratch town". I've loved your recipes! So do my men. One of the hardest parts of ADULTING, is coming up with “what's for dinner tonight?" We've been married for 53 years. That's a LOT of dinners. 2 received a Crock-Pot/slow cooker as a wedding present. Seldom ever used it. I now have a newer addition, and YOU taught me what to do with it. Oh, the time I could have saved when I was still working. Love you all, And your Christian values.

[@sandramanasco4601]

My grandma made green tomatoes pickles etc and chili sauce which was so good

[@patriciarooks7892]

I’d call it Mexican corn bread pie . Or Beef cornbread pie or Cornbread casserole !

[@jaynejohnson6233]

Great idea

[@christie.d]

“Gracie Lou’s cornbread cheese casserole “ it seems so sweet to have some of her favorites!

[@kdcats4092]

I will second this name. I am sure Gracie Lou would love a little pinch of that cornbread off the top without any of the filling

[@lauraspicks7114]

I'll agree with that, with /for Gracie Lou.We all know she likes the cheese and the cornbread, so why not?! She's a sweetie, and we all love her too.💕💘

[@bbgirl6741]

All ur recipes in this video were super yummy looking 😋I will definitely try most of them. Geez poor Steven glad that squirt didn’t get him in his eye. 😅the last recipe I’ve made it’s called Chipotle Tamale pie . I add Bush’s chili beans in it few chipotles cut like the kick but not to spicy , but will add corn to the next one too. Excited to try these recipes. Love all ur videos Mandy, thanks for sharing with us , Big fan of urs , 🤗 Rachel watching in Corpus Christi Texas 🤗

[@theresayoung2407]

I also agree!

[@sylvias9659]

Great name! I love it!!

[@heatherh.8746]

"Its better to burp and bear the shame, then not to burp and bear the pain" - My grandfather taught me that one! :-)

[@judynelson4673]

That was something my dad always said too

[@allaboutbunnies7]

Wise man!

[@theresaaltongregg4569]

Chowchow can be bought at Cracker Barrel. It's delicious with pinto bean, cornbread and glass of butter milk 😋😋😋😋

[@barbarasingleton6756]

My grandma would make something close to this. Instead of salsa she used tomato sause and calles it Almo Pie. The filling would be amazing for burritos from either recipe.

[@sarahlee2837]

One of my kitties is a senior kitty, she is almost dead and blind ...in people years she is 21 = 100 ish..she has the biggest mouth and let's everyone know whose the boss ! She's the sweetest cuddler...they always know love ❤

[@krischellescottjones5973]

I can’t wait to try all of these - including that pumpkin dessert!! Last meal name suggestion: “Steven’s Delight” 😂❤

[@anitas5817]

These are great ideas Mandy! You can always dice up onions or peppers that are getting old and keep them in a bag in the freezer. Right now I have a couple cups of diced pin the freezer. Great to add to eggs or soups or chili or anything.

[@shayshaymann113]

Nooooooooo, never put oil in the water for the pasta! 😮 the oil will prevent any sauces to ‘stick’ or ‘absorb’ to the pasta! Put a wooden spoon over the pot while the pasta is cooking, that will prevent the boil over 🙂. Also, you’re supposed to put a very generous amount of salt into the water as well. 💜🌸💜 greetings from Florida!

[@suewolf3279]

Correct, do not add oil to the boiling water for pasta. I am a New Yorker, and adding oil will prevent your sauce, whichever kind of sauce you may be using, from adhering to your pasta. Which is why you never rinse your pasta when you are making a hot Italian Dish. You need the starch

[@Estranged180]

T.B.D. = Tonight's Best Dinner. Also, most times when you're about to use one of those Italian dressings, I've found that going for the Tuscan House Italian dressing holds up better, because once you shake it, it takes awhile to separate, and holds other things in suspension a little better (like pesto, for instance)

[@clemsongirl1990]

I like plates with sections so that my food doesn't touch. Some things I don't mind, like if my roll touches my ham or something like that. But I don't want my roll touching beans or my mashed potatoes to touch my corn or whatever. I have sectioned plates at home, of course, and my mama has some for me at her house and so does my mother-in-law. And if it's a big family gathering we usually have throw away sectioned plates anyway so it's not a problem. Not that I would complain or make a big deal if there wasn't sectioned plates because I would never do that. I'd just do the best I could keeping my food separated.😊🍽🍱 Sometimes when I see y'all (or anyone else) on KZbin fixing a plate of food, I'm thinking "Oh no! Your green beans (or whatever) are going to touch your mac & cheese (or whatever)! 🤪 I know this probably seems random but when Steven was talking about his Grandpa's bowl of food all mixed together, I was thinking NOPE! Not me! And a quick question.........for the brown rice, what kind of rice do you use? I'm assuming NOT Minute rice?

[@Dindasayswhynot]

Me too.

[@Dindasayswhynot]

She has a video about it. Plain old rinsed regular rice, nothing fancy.

[@evagardner6013]

Yes my grandparents will buy the massive bags of onions on sale and take them home and chop for like 15 minutes. It smells strong, but they’ll go months without chopping onions. Also thanks for your videos. I’ve had morning sickness for months. I’m finally out of it and I’m binging your videos because I can’t remember what we eat!

[@MaraschinoChary]

Everything you make looks delicious❗️I’d call it “Southwestern Shepherd's Pie”

[@angelamccullough37]

"Go backer skillet 🍳 dinner " is what you can name the last one. 😊

[@Ne0s0lar]

I am new to your channel but have really enjoyed watching you all and making a lot of the recipes already. You all make me feel like I am back at my grandparents house and everyone cutting up around the table. I was also wondering if u all every had kool-aide pie it has a similar consistency as the pumpkin marshmallow pie you made?

[@jeaniestoltz1764]

The chicken sausage pasta would also be a great summertime salad!😋

[@frugallivin6575]

I'm making the stuffing chicken breasts for dinner tonight. How about Spanish Shepherds Pie or Taco Shepherds Pie 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@tiffanybenefield1980]

I think "spicy cornbread chili pie" would be a fantastic name for your newdish.

[@wilenemoss4575]

Spicy Mexican cornbread pie. It looks delicious.

[@lillianclark4608]

That was funny when Steven cut in the chicken.

[@stephanieevans9746]

Steven's Pantry Fave

[@joannajudson1107]

Anytime you add oil to pasta water, it prevents ANY sauce to cling to your pasta

[@kensilas7018]

Next time you should miss the cheese with the cornbread mixs

[@lisatomas3699]

This was good I'd call it Mexican pie😊

[@sharonmayeaux3284]

Which video had the pie recipe? I missed it.

[@rainamorrow5153]

Cornbread taco casserole

[@BettyLipscomb]

Mandy easy taco skillet meal

[@stephaniewhitaker5253]

Cornbread Cottage Casserole (not shepherds cos it isn't lamb & it don't rhyme)

[@patriciaober4647]

Call it cornbread pie

[@BabsAmato1]

The squirting chicken was hysterical. Steven looked so surprised. This is real life and I’m loving it.😂

[@justpatty7328]

😂😂😂

[@stuckinmopro8533]

Two years ago I started to chop up (using the same chopper that you have, lol) onions, green and red peppers, celery and carrots and put individually in zip lock bags in my freezer. I usually do 6 or 8 of each: onions and peppers, a large bag of celery and carrots. I will usually do one veggie on a slow afternoon. This way I usually always have chopped veggies on hand and it saves a lot of time!

[@leelalee1463]

Me too and I also double bag the onions.

[@rosemarycreollo4326]

I always have chopped onion, bell pepper & celery in the freezer & it really simplifies cooking. Have never frozen carrots, but will definitely try them now!

[@janetkinkade9748]

Love this tip!!’

[@bbgirl6741]

Any tips in cleaning it I lost the little brush for it ,got a little cut that bled so much now I’m afraid to clean it 😢🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Raelie936-]

@@bbgirl6741 Yes!! Those blades are sharp and boy the finger just bleeds forever. I lost mine down the disposal :( so I use a dollar tree tooth brush.

[@karleedu]

Thank you for showing Gracie to us! She's so sweet. AND Thank you for the pantry dinners🐱

[@joanfels6641]

My mom used to make a version of your last meal and called Tamale Pie.

[@familyocean]

Now THAT was some juicy chicken 😂😂😂

[@dianaward5065]

My mom's version was also called Tamale Pie.

[@bbgirl6741]

Chipotle Tamale Pie is what I call it. I don’t add corn but will now. I add a can of Bush’s chili beans to it too. Everything else is the same in it as urs , but I add a few chipotles cut up for a kick to much cause don’t like it to spicy , u should add it to urs since y’all like very spicy , add the beans too. It’s delish 😋

[@WhimsyChick]

Same 😊

[@cindymeritt740]

Kick'n texmex tamale pie( kick'n for the chipotle)😆

[@btrixie60]

"Mandy's Mexican pie." The squirting chicken was hilarious!

[@sandicollins4000]

These all look so yummy! I laughed out loud at Stevens face when that chicken squirted all its juice out, of man that was funny. 😂

[@Daphne-cp8ss]

28:14 in some countries it's considered an insult to the cook if you don't burp after eating. Mandy's Tamale Supreme for the third dish. I like the idea of stuffing crusted chicken. Gonna definitely make that one. That would be great on pork chops too! Maybe even salmon. All the recipes, as always, look so yummy. Sweet little Gracie, it's tough getting old. We all love all of you.💗💞

[@0ChelleShocked0]

You have the most pure comment section. I was expecting to see some wild comments after that squirty chicken 😂😂. I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.

[@gayejeffries9968]

Hi Mandy. I make a casserole almost just like this. I call it Harvest Casserole. I have been making this since was 18 and I am now 69. This was a favorite of my late husband Tim. His sister gave me the recipe. I love to have Coleslaw with it. I love your channel and I try not to miss a episode. You are a great cook. I love the love you share with your sweet husband and son. God Blessings for you and your family🥰🙏

[@maryhutto]

Mandy, since you created this cornbread casserole based on the Jiffy mix, call it "Mandy's Dinner in a Jiffy". Thank you, Mandy, for testing recipes and sharing the best with us. Thank you, Steven, for your bravery in being the official "taste-tester/ common tatter" for each recipe. Y'all are a hoot!😂

[@Lindsay8729]

I absolutely love Steven's face expressions when he has your food and Gracie Lou is so adorable. You are truly bless to have such a wonderful family. Keep up the good work 👍 💯

[@bbgirl6741]

Agree

[@MdnightWnd]

Your mom's brown rice is one of my favorite rice dishes ever. I've sent multiple friends to your videos and website to get the recipe and they all love it! Only negative is that I keep having trouble finding the consommé. Next time I see it I'm going to stock up.

[@beaittie]

hI YA'LL! I'd call that last dish salsa verde cornbread pie. Yep I think I am gonna make that this week. The great thing is whatever mex stuff you have you can add, or subtract. So versatile. Thanks for the great ideas!

[@lisahoward1969]

I've made that brown rice before and it's delicious. I currently have the cubed cube steaks in the crockpot for tonight's dinner...it's smelling so good in my house. All 3 pantry meals sound really good. 😋 I loved Steven's face when the chicken squirted 😂

[@bbgirl6741]

I was thankful it didn’t squirt him in the eye 😅 But I’m definitely making that here soon. Wanna order on Amazon that Air fryer magnet times/temps. Very useful n informative thanks Mandy I ordered that garlic thingee u roll , take off the outter part of garlic , love it. Love all ur videos n yummy recipes Mandy, look forward to Stevens reaction when he tastes the food too. I told my husband that’s the ratings n specific details n expressions u need to give me when I cook , here on 😂 Rachel watching y’all in Corpus Christi Texas 🤗

[@deborahdaniels9163]

Loved all of these yall are a hoot made me laugh

[@agnesloyall6677]

Laying a wooden spoon or other wooden utensil across the top of an open pot, will keep it from boiling over. Don't know the science of how/why it works, but it does!!

[@sandyhoward1661]

Here in New Mexico, your last dish would almost be called Tamale Pie but you used Salsa Verde rather than the traditional red sauce used in Tamale Pie. Maybe you could call yours “ Salsa Verde Tamale Pie”.

[@shellycaldwell617]

BLLAAHHH!!! That was sooo funny when the chicken released it juices. Stevens face was priceless!!! I had to rewind and watch it again.

[@jerri117]

I make a similar dish like the last one and call it Tex-Mex Cornbread Casserole. Also if you lay a spoon across your pot it should keep your pasta from boiling over, it doesn't necessarily need to be a wooden spoon. I use my silicone spoons and it works well too. I just don't boil my pasta on a high temperature, after the water starts boiling I turn it down to medium. I hope this helps you. Have a blessed weekend! 💕

[@crawleyr4919]

Lol i just watched a KZbinr try that and it failed. 😅

[@jerri117]

@crawleyr4919 it works for me everytime.

[@bbgirl6741]

Jerri I’m gonna give that try thanks for the tip ,

[@carollange7457]

I always put a wooden spoon across the pot. Keeps the water from boiling over. Then, I turn it down to medium to gently boil. Works every time.😊

[@zivagoldman2001]

Chow chow is also good on hotdogs! It's like a sweet version of sauerkraut, in a way.

[@KraftsbyKatelyn]

Adding pesto to the pickup order! 🤗❤️ Great job Mandy!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Thanks girl!!

[@jensenfamily7207]

I’m still laughing about that chicken squirt!😂 Dang I’m in stitches! The Amazing Stuffing Crusted Squirting Chicken! Love your videos so much! I always look forward to them-what recipes you’re making and seeing how everyone interacts and the tasting reactions. Y’all are a blessing. 💕

[@sharonbrown2321]

Mandy I have been in the hospital and rehab for the last 6 month with 2 broken and legs and a broke hip. I have watched your videos everyday you and your husband make me laugh and your videos helped me get through all the rehab. Knowing when I first start walking I am going to make your steak n gravy dinner. I love to cook I am 71 and I just love you and your husband such a sweet and beautiful family. Keep on cooking!

[@amarenee2020]

Name for the last dish… Spicy Hamburger Cornbread I really enjoyed this video! You cook like so many of us non fancy, just trying to feed our families, kind of people which sets you apart from many of the other cooking sites I watch! I went to save this in my favorites and ended up making a new playlist called Mandy’s Cooking! 😊 If I had more energy tonight I’d make the Spicy Hamburger Cornbread cause I have all the ingredients… but sadly it’s Friday and I’m pooped! Tomorrow night it is definitely on my to do list!

[@linden8846]

I've heard you shouldn't add oil or butter to the pasta water because that will keep the sauce from sticking to the pasta.

[@janellefairlamb4183]

Add salt but not oil. It doesn’t do anything

[@bun04y]

I've discovered that adding oil to the pasta (not in the water but after it is done) keeps your pasta from becoming a clump...and I would rather have my sauce slide off than having a clump of pasta.

[@TheLadymiss22]

@@bun04yI toss it with olive oil Pam. Doesn’t clump, and no problem with the sauce. I don’t add the sauce to the pasta, serve it separately at the table. I don’t like leftover pasta with sauce mixed in. Haven’t had a problem with it.

[@becki_booo]

​@@bun04yit's ok if your pasta sticks together. If your adding it to a sauce, the sauce will separate it. Where as if u add oil your pasta the sauce won't stick to the pasta. But the sauce will definitely separate the pasta the oil is completely unnecessary. Not only unnecessary but it kinda ruins it

[@marciebaird2175]

I agree….just use a deeper pot and turn down the heat a bit…..When boiling potatoes,I add a bit of butter…tames it down.

[@WhimsyChick]

Girl! You already named it! It's your "Friday Night Lght" dinner!! ❤😁

[@tanyawood275]

Yes, I cook with onion and garlic pretty much with every meal! Great idea cooking with what is in your pantry/freezer!

[@arlenewallace1306]

I would call your dish, Mexican, cornbread pie. Thank you Mandy for another great video you never disappoint. I pray for your family, that your family be blessed, spiritually, physically, and financially.

[@CroiaCallahan]

Save that bowl….put the chicken in the Ziploc to coat it!!!! BONUS: Keeps your hands clean as well.

[@sallyhart1576]

I use Zesty Italian dressing frequently, especially when grilling. I marinate pork chops or chicken in it for a couple hours in the frig. Oh SO good!

[@marciebaird2175]

Marinate your grilled veggies/potatoes with it too!👍

[@shayshaymann113]

Me too! Yummmmm

Will certainly give that a try!@@marciebaird2175

[@rebahughes-orr5523]

[@sandylocks755]

Steven’s face after the squirt was everything 😂😂 that was soooo funny….plus the outburst of laughter when you slowed the replayed down. The squirt would have turned me off.

[@KellyBrodowski-gz9gt]

Your family is awesome! Started watching your videos just shy of 2 years ago. Can't miss them! I too believe :"a recipe is a guideline." Name for your dish: Nocho Average Taco Pie 😂.

[@lindaseewer2699]

a wooden spoon laid across the pot of boiling pasta water will keep it from boiling over. Also, in some cultures burping out loud is a sign of respect and that you enjoyed the meal.

[@loiserwin5991]

CORNBREAD PIE👍 This is similar to tamale pie. I make mine with hamburger, onion, Rotel tomatoes, corn and a can of olives topped with cornbread. If you sprinkle a little sugar on top of the cornbread before you bake, it adds a little crunchy top to it BUT it's not overly sweet.

[@scraptist]

I think you could name the last dish, 'Southwest Gobacker'

[@annielu9078]

Everything looks delicious! I also chop and freeze celery because I don't use it fast enough before it spoils, oh and I made the Boursin cheese chicken recipe....sooo good

[@lisazappalarogel2839]

Mandy, thank you for always sharing your videos and your home life with us. will there be a chance you will make a cookbook? :) 🧡

[@kelliealley7418]

LOL...that juicey chicken moment was priceless

[@anniehegr4469]

The oil in the pasta water not only keeps the pot from boiling over but also keeps the pasta from sticking together.

[@brittanyrussell433]

will definately try this!

[@ummfulaan9672]

Yes, but it also prevents the sauce from sticking to the pasta. Italians cringe when people add oil to pasta water.

[@tristensolock7620]

​​​@@ummfulaan9672that is so true it is better to not add oil. Also do not cover pasta to cook

[@mdketzer]

If you put a wooden spoon across the top of you pot the water will not boil over!

Love the fact your doing pantry/ freezer meals I think it’s good to use up what you have once in a while then re stock again . Love your channel

[@sandybowman7140]

Mandy, I LOVE PANTRY recipes! I think that last recipe should be called Tex-Mex Tamale Pie, bc its not just a Mexican flair but Texas too with the corn, and u definitely could add beans, but maybe Fritos if u have on hand for some crunch factor under the sweet cornbread. I love all these recipes & love the indoor Gardyn too. Steven, that squirting chicken was hilarious! Have a great weekend! 🙋‍♀️🌻🎃🍁🌄

[@maureenwalters9572]

Jiffy-Mex Pantry Pie…..if you make it with the “squirting” chicken, you could call it Jiffy Pop Chicken Pie 🤣🤣🤣 That was hilarious!!!!!

[@conniebrock]

Got my new air fryer like yours and will be using it this weekend. Thanks so much.

[@conniebrock]

What was that spitting of the chicken? I laughed really out loud.

[@GrannyGarbage]

Hello all… 2 comments here 1. Burping: I grew up saying…”excuse me excuse me from the bottom of my heart, if it came out the other end.. it’d be a fart” 2. Casserole name suggestion-“Go•Back Jiffy casserole”

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Thank you, everyone for your prayers in the last video. My hubby isn't one who shows emotions that much and this has really hurt him. He hasn't shown it, but I can tell it's bothered him. Thank you, again.

[@TimNancyDanter]

Hey Hey From Canada…we live watching you two…!! We think you should call it The Jiffy Go-backer…!!!

[@mollysmith6055]

If you have Kalamata olives again, make Puttanesca sauce with it. It is a delicious Italian spaghetti sauce. And I'd call the last dish Jiffy Tamale Pie. It is very similar to my mom's tamale pie but hers is all from scratch.

[@carrievanvickle6052]

I don’t want to say how many times I played back that chicken squirting across the table. I laughed until my sides hurt. His face 😂.

[@katievdbshsh757]

To keep water from boiling over- lay a wooden spoon across top of water pan. Great meal for thrown together. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon

[@Sterling8953]

I make something similar and call it Tamale Pie. I know it isn't super accurate but I make it to use up leftover taco meat and burrito bowl fixings.

[@Jerseygirl2160]

I have always wanted to try chicken sausage but haven't as yet. What brand is yours? It looks really good and would love to try the brand you used. Give Miss Gracie a hug from me please. She is a sweetie.

Nice Job!!! "Salsa Corn Bread Casserole" (Hot, Mild or Regular)

[@crawleyr4919]

O. M. GAWD!!!! That spurt was HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@EmilyGOODEN0UGH]

The cornbread shepherds pie might look cuter if you put some of the cheese on top... and as for a name... the pilgrims used to modify dishes with corn instead of wheat or potatoes and then call it "indian" whatever... so ... indian shepherds pie? Or just cornbread shepherds pie to be more politically correct.

[@ellengordon2933]

Oh my! Never add oil to pasta water. The oil will prevent the dressing or pasta sauce from clinging to the pasta. I’m sure that there are many Italian cooks who are shaking their heads and cringing right now.

[@lisat9802]

LOL the look on your husbands face when his stuffing crusted chicken breast peed onto the table was priceless. 🤣

[@Mary-fe2fz]

Putting oil in your pasta water is a big No No. It makes your pasta slippery and your sauce doesn't stick to your pasta, it just slides right off your pasta.

[@karenkellett8980]

I use onion and garlic in almost all recipes. I started buying a bag of already peeled garlic in my produce section. Then I keep it in the freezer and just take out how much I need. It thaws fast and is so easy.

[@lindak7623]

I think the name should be Mandy's special. it's polite to burp after a meal. It's a sign of good food. At least that's what I say in response to a burp.😮

[@victoriatucker464]

Can you do your mommas rice in the " instant pot " or crockpot? If you can, for how long? And my name for your meal is tex-mex in a jiffy casserole

[@krystalhardcastle6215]

I have had the green tomatoes version. And I haven’t heard “Well I’ll be a monkeys uncle “ in forever 😂😂

[@laurawilson6389]

When just throwing stuff together do you smell spices to see if they would compliment the recipe your doing? The stuffing crusted chicken sounds pretty good.

[@catwoman520]

Lay a wooden spoon across the pot. Works better and your pasta sauce (if you are using) will still “stick “ to the pasta…

[@louisesproul8493]

I dice up my onions and freeze them. I live alone and so many onions were going bad on me. So I got a 2 gallon bag, then filled it up with smaller bags of onions. As I need them I get out a bag and throw it on the kitchen floor to break the frost and seperate them.

[@karenscannell5713]

Hi Mandy & Steve ! I was so impressed by the cube steak recipe. Absolutely loved it and your right you don’t need teeth to eat it. Definitely making it again . The pantry recipes look delicious too! The taco meal can be called taco shepherd pie. . Not original! I know . But that’s what it reminded me of . Have a. Blessed day!

[@jerisharpe906]

I chop extra onions, put them on a Dollar Tree small cookie sheet & spread them out in a single layer, 1 hr later, put them in a zip lock bag & that way I cn get small amount or as much as I want at one time.
