I love this stuff with a quesadilla. It’s the Mexican American version of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich.

[@RoseOatley]

Yes! So yummy! I’m not a tomato soup fan either. 😊

Rachel also a Texas girl 😂

[@RoseOatley]

@@bbgirl6741 You’re welcome, Rachel! You just reminded me of the big jarros, too. It’s been a while since I’ve seen one. Great memories we can all cherish. 🙂

[@ppalm951]

Originally from Texas and have had many different Tex-Mex dishes of course, but had never had Fideo Loco. My wife and I made this recipe and LOVED it. We'll be making this regularly during the winter season. Also tried Picadillo for the first time and it was a hit as well. Where have these things been hiding all of my life??

[@RoseOatley]

Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you and your wife loved the Fideo Loco and Picadillo. It's always exciting to introduce new flavors into our meals. I’m also happy to hear you found my channel and hope to see more of you and your wife here for more. Happy cooking! 🧑‍🍳

[@Diana-xm1dm]

In a pinch I've used spaghetti and cut them down into 6 - 8 pieces, but I've only made fideo with ground beef. Never heard of fideo loco until recently and I looked up the recipe. This looks buenisimo, thanks for sharing.

[@RoseOatley]

You’re welcome, Diana! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@edd542]

This reminds me oh my family in Mexico. I would add lime to it and eat it with quesadillas and a limonada

[@RoseOatley]

Yum! I’ll have to try lime next time I have it. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.

[@pambuskirk8231]

Born and raised in Del Rio Tx. We grew up eating fideo a couple times a week its still one of my favorites but ive never had it with potatoes as a matter of fact your fideo loco is actually 2 of my favorite dishes together one is your dish without the potatoes we just called it fideo or vermicelli and the other without the fideo my momma used to call it Goulosh both i could eat every week. Lol

[@RoseOatley]

Welcome, Pam! Fideo is also a dish I grew up with. Nothing like a bowl of some comfort food. 😊. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

[@tonyyarbray]

[@Pattymae99]

Wow reading your comment about Goulosh ,and with my Spanish family we make Fideo soup which both are easy and inexpensive to make . Thanks

[@poppywilliams8404]

Very nice. Thank you.

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching! 😊

[@txJoJo55]

I just made this but had no carne picada so used cut up pork chops and it was so good. I've never made it with making the salsa separate and it made such a difference. I'll be doing it this way from now on. With my home made tortillas it was a hit and I added beans YUM

[@RoseOatley]

The pork and homemade tortillas sound delicious. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and giving it a try.

[@watchingfromcali]

How many ounces is one box of Fideo? I’m going to make this recipe looks delicious.

[@RoseOatley]

Welcome, Yolanda! It’s a 5 oz. Box. It’s really delicious and great comfort food. I hope you enjoy it.

[@watchingfromcali]

Thanks Rose! I’m sure I will. I love Mexican Food. I’m going to try your Beef Stew Recipe next love your style of cooking and sense of humor. You’re fur babies are adorable! Thanks for sharing such great recipes with us.

[@RoseOatley]

Thank you! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@Oregon197]

Looks really good, I just found out about this recipe someone had posted that they were making it on this Facebook group I'm in, thanks for the video.. Do you think the can of pinto beans taste good in it? And do some people use canned cut up tomatoes instead of the fresh?

[@RoseOatley]

Hello and welcome! Beans are great with it, but as always you can eliminate them if you’d like. I personally like fresh tomatoes but you can add canned ones. Just make sure you also add the tomato sauce.

[@Oregon197]

@RoseOatley your great, I will have to check out more of your videos ty 🤩

[@seven_hundred-seven_hundred]

I got the H‑E‑B Fideo Loco Comida Kit, $1.63 current buy one get one free. Browned a pound of burger, chopped onion, chopped garlic clove, can of diced tomato, added some fajita seasoning, six quartered baby white potatoes, and the kit. Turned out super good.

[@RoseOatley]

Sounds great! You should try mine sometime, too!

[@karengonzalez2555]

How do you clean and keep your stovetop looking brand new?

[@RoseOatley]

Thanks Karen! I try and clean as I go or clean give it a quick wipe after so food doesn’t build. For stubborn stains, I like using this cleaner amzn.to/3Hvtsdx. Thanks for watching!

[@karengonzalez2555]

Thank you so much ☺️ I’ll be buying that today 😁 Also will be making your Fideo Loco tonight for dinner 😋 thanks for the recipe 💜

[@RoseOatley]

The little scrubbers it comes with work really well. I spread it. Let it sit for a couple of minutes then wipe or scrub. 😊. Thanks Karen! I hope you enjoy it. 😋

[@WagonPilotAdventures]

Looks really good. I'll have to track down some tomato bullion and give it a try.

[@RoseOatley]

Please do. I think you’ll enjoy it. Here’s a link for the tomato bullion on Amazon. Thanks for watching! amzn.to/34KmZL1

I make Fidello to but mine is with long Fidello noodles and my fidello is dryer I don't make it as cado but that looks yuumy

[@RoseOatley]

Welcome and thank you! Are they vermicelli (Fideo) noodles? I haven’t seen any long ones. It’s good with and without caldo. Yum! 😋

[@christinacortez6130]

@@RoseOatley yes they are vermicelli noodles but they are coiled and they are in a bag. I buy them at a Mexican Mercado where I live in Woodland CA

[@RoseOatley]

Yum! I haven’t seen them here in TX. Thanks for sharing!

How to cook it in instant pot

[@RoseOatley]

You really don't need the instant pot for this recipe as it's ready fairly quick.

[@meamoreparker3420]

This soup looks great I’m going to try to make for my daughter always looking for new dishes she’s so picky 🙄

[@RoseOatley]

I can totally relate with having a picky daughter 😂. I hope she enjoys it and you come back for more. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.

[@GitzenShiggles]

I'm Norwegian so I am not very familiar with this type of cuisine but this dish has my attention!

[@RoseOatley]

Thank you, Xan! This is considered a Mexican dish. It’s very flavorful. I hope you give it a try sometime. Thanks for watching!

[@noodlepair.]

It's a very thin wheat pasta that you can fry till golden, it gives it a better taste, but if not careful it can burn. You can add shredded chicken or ground beef. I blend onions, chicken bullion and any tomato sauce or powder and water. It's a soup. I have an Italian friend and he loves it with shredded chicken and no potatoes. You can add winnie for kids. Potatoes is an option. Plain is so good with cheese. This type of pasta we call it sopas. You can buy it in letter shapes for kids, elbow shape, stars and more. It's a very affordable soup.

[@bbgirl6741]

You must give it a try sometime time soon it won’t disappoint you that’s for sure 😋

[@Celestehtx]

Where did you get your pots and pans from.? Lol

[@RoseOatley]

Hello! You can find a lot of my cookware and other items I use here - www.amazon.com/shop/roseoatley

[@TheMacadilla]

❤❤❤

[@Oregon197]

Couldn't you use chicken broth or chicken stock or beef broth instead of water or even half water half broth?

[@RoseOatley]

I use chicken bouillon so you don’t need the chicken broth. If you’d like to use it in place of the chicken bouillon you can.

[@danielgalvan7026]

My mom made it long before it was called that 😊

[@RoseOatley]

So did my mom! 😊

[@anthonycat7303]

Do you have a book for your recipes?

Hello Anthony! I don’t but perhaps one day. 😉

I have not made it in an instant pot, yet. It’s a pretty quick meal to make on the stovetop. I will put it on my list. Thank you!

[@donnakalisz2700]

Does anyone put Italian season in fideo? I learned that Rom house of pies

[@RoseOatley]

Welcome, Donna! I never have but I’m always willing to try anything. 😊. Thanks for the tip and for watching!

Meant tapatio

[@marilynmadrid9550]

I would add chicken broth instead of just wa for mireflavir

[@RoseOatley]

I used chicken bouillon so you don’t need the chicken broth. However, you can replace if on your dish. Thanks for watching!

[@bbgirl6741]

Rosie why do u call it Fideo loco 🤔

[@RoseOatley]

Welcome! This is a great question! When an item is qualified with the phrase crazy or loco, it means that the basic dish has been enhanced with more than the usual ingredients or toppings. I love this dish because it’s inexpensive, so delicious and can feed a large family.

[@michelecreel2511]

I use chicken instead of hamburger, declious

[@RoseOatley]

Sounds good, too!

[@isidorogarcia4803]

You can use pinto beans just throw out every farty one.

[@RoseOatley]

LOL Good idea! I like your humor 😂. Thanks for watching!

[@bbgirl6741]

😂

[@marilynmadrid9550]

It needs just a little more liquid.

[@RoseOatley]

Welcome, Marilyn! I’ve found that the amount of liquid in the recipe works perfectly for my taste, but everyone has their own preferences, so feel free to adjust it to your liking!

[@Purple69-k9l]

I don’t like that the Knorr boullion powders all have MSG as an ingredient, not healthy. There’s lots of other options with out it. Unnecessary additives.

[@RoseOatley]

I understand but I enjoy using it, you can always substitute it with your own chicken broth. Thanks for watching!

So when your FIDO goes missing, you know what happened….LOL….

[@randymanson4945]

It's vermicelli sry that wasn't invented in Mexico

[@RoseOatley]

Yes, I have read that while the exact origin is not known, it’s history dates back to the Italian Renaissance period.

Same concept
