[@joannecoady2301]

You really should have your own TV show. You are a natural. Would rather watch you than some of the shows that are on there. Keep it up girl!!

[@lruisi01]

YESSSSS that would be amazing 👏

[@tingtingboll]

Y'all I made this chopped up grinder, forgot the bread so I used texas toast that I had, threw a slice of pepper jack cheese on top and grilled it like a grilled cheese!!! The ONLY way I'll eat it now. Absolutely delicious accident 😂

[@christinamontecalvo-fetta5428]

Brooke I'm hooked. You are a special soul. I have watched your videos and now I'm caught up. Thankyou for your kindness and God bless the family

[@ZenobiaDecrespin]

🎯 💯 🎯

[@brendamurta864]

If you put your chopping board on a ha d towel, it shouldn't slide so much.

[@brendamurta864]

Hand towel

[@patbuegeler7770]

Me too. I'm hooked with Brooke's videos.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Wow, thank you! 💜💜💜

[@cherylbenton7107]

That pasta ...oooohhhhhwheeee...can't wait to try that for my family, but will wait until cooler weather. The brand of spaghetti you used, Meullers...that's the kind my mother always bought when I was a kid. Gave me some intense nostalgia! Stores around here don't seem to carry that brand now. Thanks for the great video!❤

[@erderder1]

Love watching you make and taste test the viral videos!! I especially like when you ask the family to rate the recipe. I really enjoy your channel. It’s refreshing because it’s so real, down to earth, and not over edited. I love how you roll with little things that happen along the way. You are just so darn cute!! Thank you for putting in all the hard work. I have no doubt that your channel will continue to soar!! 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@christinatareski8882]

That sandwich looks 🔥 I agree everything tastes better chopped up small. Hard to bite into big hunks of meat and tomato without tearing apart the sandwich. Cut small is easier to eat. Also-loved the idea of squeezing excess liquid from tomatoes. Brilliant.

[@JackpotJewels]

That looks like a fire salad! Especially for the diabetic people

[@janelprice6301]

I love that you are an authentic home cook, no ingredients that are basically one use.

[@stephanieboyd1784]

Yes!!!! I just love her!!!

[@adigmon]

Does anyone else see her videos and go…yay!! It’s Brooke! 😂 I have leftover homemade spaghetti and meatballs in the oven layered with cottage cheese, provolone, and Parmesan.

[@KaronWoods-vv7gu]

That sounds delicious

[@adigmon]

@@KaronWoods-vv7gu Thanks, it was! Easy way to spruce up leftovers!

[@thrifting_in_the_ozarks3887]

I just noticed after reading the comments where you are in regards to your sub number!!! Wow!!! Wow!!’ Hope you’re very proud. I know your family members must be proud of their beloved Brooke!!! Congrats!!!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Thank you!!

[@janabuchheit3389]

When am I invited to be your guinea pig taste tester? Both of these look scrumptious! You make it fun. You're a fun frugal foodie!

[@cornelious157]

Brooke,I believe this is called Million dollar Spaghetti?! Can’t wait to hear you and your families thoughts after trying it as it looks delicious!

[@pennylynch913]

Lol yeah bc it costs. 😅 meat and dairy expens.

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I think million dollar spaghetti uses cottage cheese, sour cream, and cream cheese instead of Alfredo.

[@cornelious157]

@@SouthernFrugalMomma ohhh makes sense to me!

[@jennyhill1287]

No, shes right. Your thinking of the viral million dollar crockpot pasta. Confusing. I know. I love what you do Brooke keep doing you.​@@SouthernFrugalMomma

[@hannakinn]

I think that 2nd recipe would make a great wrap filling. I know I'd prefer it in a wrap or a tortilla. Yum!

[@willennachristian7971]

Hey Brooke they made something like that at my work I work in an assisted living center and the gentleman used to work in an Italian restaurant that was our cook and he called that million-dollar pasta or millionaires pasta All the residents liked it and I can say the staff was a big fan also

[@rosemarie3908]

we make that. all the time. but we also add some ricotta cheese to mix in with the shredded cheese. bake at 350 for like 20-30 mins until all the cheese is melted and gooey. its like baked ziti

[@ABaker2k4]

Oooh!!! Baked pasta!! Yes please 🙌🏼💜 I don't know why baked pasta is SOOOO good but it is! I can't wait to try these. The chopped grinder totally reminds me of Subways old chopped salads. Something about them tiny pieces is super delicious, I 💯 agree!! Thank you for the awesome recipes, I love seeing new ways of making great staples. Awesome roller skate tank too 😁

[@kimberlymeyers6414]

I don't have tik tok, so I get all of my viral recipe inspiration from you! I had everything to make the grinder sub, and my husband and I have really wanted something different for lunch, so I tried it and it was a hit! I subbed the red wine vinegar for leftover beet vinegarette from pickled beets, which made the dressing pink.

[@jaceyneal6167]

If I’m wanting to do a meatless meal instead of hamburger I will cook mushrooms and add it to spaghetti

[@rachelhero3413]

I make that pasta dish with cauliflower rice that I’ve squeezed all the water out of! Sooo good! Perfect for low carb and inexpensive!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

Great idea!!

[@joannaazar7396]

Awesome!

[@pamking8137]

Make both of these all the time! One suggestion is to scoop out a bit of the bread so the filling fits in better! Also….toast the bread first! Even better!

[@TF-mw4sy]

Your family likes YOUR recipes the best. ❤

[@teestube]

Personally, I would have even eaten the grinder filling as a salad to cut back on the carbs. Both dishes looked fabulous!! You rule Brooke!! And Brayden has a lot of mannerisms like his daddy. You have an awesome family!!☮️❤️✝️

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I was thinking it would be a great salad too

[@teestube]

@@SouthernFrugalMomma I’m going to try your crockpot ricotta pasta tonight for our supper. I have been thinking about making it for a few days now.

[@teestube]

BTW, it turned out amazing!!

[@SandraChampenois]

With your love for People, your respect for each other, your meals cure soul and save....money...😊

[@marybethsmith6458]

Instead of give it to Mikey in the 70s now its give it to Braydon in 2024. He'll eat anything, if his Moma makes it.

[@stephanieboyd1784]

WE LOVE THIS!!! We called it “two timing pasta” 😆

[@lizmorrison1624]

Loooooove your videos !! Just started watching a few days ago and I am hooked . Easy and delicious always sounds good to me . And your videos have helped me expand my meals and be more creative ❤ 👋 hello from Los Angeles 😊

[@barbarakrall1184]

Both of these recipes look good to me! I think I would do the second one without the bread! Just as a salad.

[@goode2shuz177]

I’m gonna try both of those recipes. They look delicious!

[@tammyjones8102]

Brooke I can fix ur dutch oven. Just fill sink with bleach water. Out pan making sure inside is full of bleach water. Time depends on how much is on pan. Let it soak for 45min to a hour I usually do overnight. 100% guaranteed

[@GenLazer06]

Poppin sandwich! Yummay for your tummy!

[@JudiWhitacre]

Chopped sandwich is AMAZING. And so economical! I can take what I usually put in 2 or 3 sandwiches and once chopped, I can easily get DOUBLE the sandwiches out of it without anyone feeling slighted on ingredients!!! I can literally make a batch at the beginning of the week and it will feed my family all week long! And it makes every bite the perfect bite with a little bit of everything in it. So tasty!

[@LoriFalce]

Have you tried the Dollar Tree Dinners kind of version: two packages of Knorr fettuccine alfredo, mixed up and spread in a casserole dish. Then you make meat sauce. Layer them in a dish, top with mozzarella and bake.

[@aHavenForTheLost]

I saw that one and still need to try it. I have done thee one Brooke is doing and it was wonderful. Yum. But I absolutely love Dollar Tree Dinners. One of my favs for sure!

[@becky3145]

I never knew how to make homemade Alfredo sauce. I have to watch my sodium levels. Thank you Brooke

[@kwiseman75]

I tried it, and it is sooooo good.

[@carriesessum2505]

The chopped grinder sandwich is one of the favorites for summer in our family !! We use turkey instead of ham but that’s just preference for us .. I also chop provolone slices with the meats . YUMMM

[@alicewegman5468]

Both look GREAT!! Going to try them.😁👍

[@WanC1]

I absolutely love your channel. You've given me so many great ideas for recipes that are affordable. Take care ❤

[@joyappleman2380]

Just found your channel and I love cooking channels. The first recipe is one that I've always made and enjoy - except, I make the two dishes separately - am sure combining them would be delicious, but think I'll make and we'll eat them separately. The grinder salad is one I want to make - looks so yummy! Thanks!

[@lucindasutt7365]

Both recipes are new to me and,.. they look really good. Best thing is you can almost remember the recipes, or just add what your family likes. Chop all for Grinder, l like that. I like making the sandwich spread then mixing it in. Thanks, 😊

[@kippytx]

Awesome!!! I like Cream Cheese added to spaghetti

[@BarB2-90Nine]

Lov the pasta mix um draining the pasta always but bowl under when draining so the water don’t come back up the drain into urn colluder . The videos are my fave! Always

[@terrinewell3044]

I have made both of these recipes, and we liked them both. I will say, the sub/grinder filling does not "keep" well. We didn't use all of it for supper, and the next day it was watery, even though I de-seeded the tomato and dried the chopped pickle before adding them. So, adjust quantities downward if you think your family will not eat a huge bowl of it in one go.

[@crystalshaw8744]

The last recipe would also make a good salad.

[@omaruth]

Loved all the recipes, but my favorite was the sandwich 🥪 you made looked so delicious 😋!!!

[@anitam.924]

I LOVE your channel! You are so good to watch. I would love you as a neighbor!! 💐🦋♥️

[@nolasurmanek7693]

They both look good and doable

[@amymarie8999]

I make the chop sandwiches a salad without the bun. It’s very good even like that.

[@GwenDeeful]

Thank you for the recipes. I will give them both a try. Have an amazing weekend.

[@crabbyresister9194]

We call that a California Salad! Yum so tasty 🎉🎉🎉😊

[@kerri-annmurphy2280]

Hi Brooke, I watch you from Australia and love your easy attitude. Keep doing what your doing girl it works. And a big hi to your family.

[@symplybeingme]

Yay on the road to 100k, I will add these recipes

[@JeanetteParmantie-jq5xy]

Go Brook! LOVE your channel because it is easy to balance my budget with your ideas. GO GIRL!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lindabeard488]

Great recipes. They looked delicious.

[@nadinefrandsen6087]

We made the chopped sandwiches the other night and they were DELISH!!!! I ate the leftovers for breakfast-no bread. I will be making them every week!

[@abcjerilee]

Took one for the team! Go Brooke!

[@lindanizamoff7981]

that pasta looks really good, but it looks expensive to make.

[@deborahschliep1070]

Thank you,Brooke for hooking me to delicious food

[@cecepalmer4833]

I’ve been tossing my pastas in water and then cooking like Brooke and to me the flavor is so much better. Never thought about it before but now that I’ve done it, I can’t seem to stop…lol.

[@maryjanemcaskile-zq8bh]

What a good mommy you are, cooking all these good things for your family. I thought you were going to juggle your tomato and onion!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I wish I could juggle 😂 I totally would have if I could

[@Jaynes-Path]

I have made a shortcut version of the pasta meal by using our favorite jar of Alfredo sauce and adding a little bit of parmesan cheese between the layers. My hubby thinks EVERYTHING needs more cheese, lol. I opened the rolls up and gave them a light toast so they wouldn't get mushy. Worked great!

[@Jewelsquiss]

[@wendyjones3586]

The Pasta looks SOOOOOOOO GOOD ! .. And grinder means hot ..

[@MabelPoo]

Boston girl here! A grinder sandwich, in Massachusetts, is a sub toasted in the oven. I was waiting for it to be thrown in the broiler.

[@judithhernandez7903]

Yum yum will try out for sure thanks so much😊

[@annasbitd1032]

Definitely will try both! Delicious! You did awesome Brooke!❤😊❤

[@patriciacannella480]

[@elizabethcallihan9971]

Good for a hot day!

Seeing your roller skate pj’s has 🎶“I’ve gotta brand new pair of roller skates, you’ve got a brand new key”🎶 stuck in my head 😂

[@natashav6432]

Made the spaghetti bake today for the fam it was a hit with all but one kiddo which is a win in my book!

[@sarafortnam1066]

I need to try this! My family isnt a fan of baked spaghetti, but if i use our own farm made ground italian sausage, I think they may like this combo of the red and white sauces. Thank you for sharing!

[@karenlyons3790]

Hi Sweet Brooke.. yes the spaghetti with red and white sauce is so very good... Have made it before ... Can't wait to see how your family likes it... and if the taste the difference a bit with the Alfredo and red sauce... I love how you do these great meals for your family... Love what you do in everything and how you share it all with us... Like your courage to go under the water in the pool... 🥰 Sandwich looks good ... God bless all of you... Love y'all too...🙏🥰🥰🥰

[@reginastephens935]

Both recipes look delicious

[@themadwomanskitchen9732]

❤ 12:00 LOOOOVE my veggie broth bag! That reminds me I want to make corn and potato chowder and I use homemade veggie broth to cook the potatoes before I add milk to it!

[@featheredfriendshomestead]

My great grandmother used to make this when I was little. She called it creamy spaghetti casserole.

[@pigoff123]

Looks amazing. I doubt my family will eat it. I would have to eat it for weeks.

[@belindabrinkmeier9439]

When my kids were little I put peppers and onions in the blender so after it cooked they couldn’t see it.

[@nancyanne1402]

I don’t prefer big chunks either. I put them in the food processor before cooking.

[@madelineeverritt8874]

I've never of putting the bun in, and scooping up the sandwich. Lol Because of our belief, we don't eat pork. I bet it would be good with turkey, roast beef, maybe rotisserie chicken. I definitely want to try it. Hope your yarn puppy is being good. I so enjoyed making that for you. Love you bestie ❤

[@nissaschonke6709]

Amen to that!! Totally agree!❤🎉

[@Leelee...]

That sandwich looks amazing!❤

[@stacypappas9677]

Dang, these look so good. Gonna make them!

So it's an Alfredo sauce but with beef I'm gonna try that for the kids

[@AuntVickiesCraftCorner]

@@sonyafox3271once again you can remove yourself before you are removed

[@barbaramorris1677]

Definitely gonna try that spaghetti!!

[@nancyanne1402]

Google up the knock off kmart sub recipe. We used to fill the cooler with these for a day on the boat. Kmart is gone😢. Now I make these a few hours before dinner and refrigerate. I don’t think the recipe calls for it, but I put a little pickle juice and some sweet ring pepper juice on the bun before the meat, cheese and veggies. He gets actual ring peppers and pickles, but I don’t care for these themselves. We also add mayo . DO NOT forget the mustard, it is not even close to right without the mustard, another item I do not care for otherwise. Much like this but not all chopped up. Now I think it will be added to next weeks plan. This weeks “sandwich meal” is egg salad with carrots, celery and sliced peppers with ranch. (Tomorrow)

[@joycepedercini3841]

In the 1970s, I’m not sure what year, we went to Walt Disney World and they served grinders with all chopped meats and vegetables, and I think it was Italian dressing and they were delicious!!!

[@micheleapplegate3473]

Both look really good. Have a blessed day Brooke and family 😊

[@theresarogerssimpson1280]

That looks amazing and for low carb leave the subbread off. Ty

[@CLEOandBARB]

Brooke, u rock. Pls show us a vid of how u make ur veggie broth. Love ur vids!!

[@LeeGA2925]

I started using tomato bouillon after seeing u and Emily using it. I now use it in everything with tomatoes. It’s so good to. I add it to my pasta sauce. I need to make the grinder sandwich because I have all kinds ingredients that I need to use up. Saving the video I do need buns because I only have hamburger buns. But I have another grocery order for tomorrow because I need garlic for my garlic cream sauce over chicken

[@sheilarogers3448]

You should try a muffalata sandwich. We do not even bother with other sandwiches. It’s so good

[@noahcampbell305]

Love watching you, thanks for sharing💙

[@rutten69]

I make this once pr week. Sometimes with meat, and somtimes with just veggies and beans

[@Coptermandan72]

I tried that alfredo spaghetti. Wow!

[@darlenemylifewithparkinsons]

When you mix tomato and Alfredo sauce you get a rose pasta this is a bake variation topped with meat sauce
