[@alisonl9731]

Your brother has a lovely personality and you are obviously very proud of him.

[@sherrylenser]

You both make a great team ! 👍

[@pharrisph7]

Excellent recipe! Thanks. It was fun seeing your brother on the video!

[@shirleyvidito9676]

Hysterical and yummy

[@sherrylenser]

Thank you for your service ! 🇺🇸 We hope to see you in more videos with your amazing sis ! 😀

[@spoostad]

Alex was a riot.

[@jeannewatts1166]

So impressed that you have won over your brother to try a plant based life. Enjoy all your tips i am new to this and you fascinating me too.

[@natalialopes719]

You two are so cute together. He is so funny. I would love to see more of him. Please thank him for his service. I have a Son in the Navy so I can appreciate how nice it is to have him there with the family. Best of luck to him.

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Thanks for watching!! We are so happy to spend time with him.

[@DebbyBraman-hj5vu]

OM goodness you two are adorable together! Genes run strong in this family

[@chichi6796]

I LOVE that you typed out the recipe. Thx a lot. Plus, I like that you make cheese sauce without cashews. There's a lot of people who can't afford a lot of raw cashews to keep in their larder. I, too, love Jill McKeever. Been watching her for years.

[@pennyanonymous4293]

You guys are so cute. Thanks for sharing your awesome recipe!

[@lyndadunckel9152]

Your brother is so funny! 😊

[@pattygardner231]

Love this recipe. Got a huge kick out of your darling brother.

[@lindagoode1251]

You are a sweetheart and I also love your brother! I want to thank you for your videos. You are teaching me a lot of stuff I didn’t know about. This time, the soy curls, which I plan on buying ASAP. I’m making this dish tomorrow for lunch and dinner. Thank you!!!

[@Bristolgrl]

I just made this today! Oh my goodness! So delicious! I added also some steamed spinach that I needed to use up! TY so much! This hit the spot for comfort food on a day when our nation is facing the pandemic crisis. Be well. ❤️

[@ironrose888]

That sounds so yummy 😋

[@ironrose888]

The family teamwork is awesome. I think I will like your cheese sauce better than mine.

[@hojomomma2319]

Wonderful video...great to see Chef Alex!!

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Thanks for watching!!

[@michellestone7761]

Made this recipe yesterday and it was soooooo good!!!! I never used soy curls before...seriously tasted just like chicken and cheese! I cannot wait to make this again.

[@barrbuff]

Tip! I've made this cheese sauce numerous times and you don't need to put it in a saucepan. Just let it go in your Vitamix until it's hot and thickened. You can hear the sound of the blender change as soon as the consistency is right. My Vitamix came with recipes on how to make soups in the blender which is a similar process. The action of the Vitamix heats up the contents. I'd say it takes a good 5 minutes to get the sauce to thicken.

[@massages_for_world_peace8909]

Wish I had a vitamix! It sounds much easier than stovetop. :) The person she got this recipe from did it that way, btw, in her vitamix.

[@jodieroberts3875]

I made this tonight. I sauteed the soy curls in a dry pan so they'd get a little color. I also discovered the cheese sauce doesn't reheat too well. I baked it in the oven topped with gluten free bread crumbs and vegan parmesan.

[@aklee5640]

Loved the video, fun and interesting and good information, thanks :)

[@legohandsliz]

I am definitely making this next week! Yum. I feel nostalgic for childhood casseroles now.

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Its amazing.

[@ardishafdahl8296]

Oh.My.Goodness…..this is THE best cheese sauce - evaaaah!!! Do not skimp out on the liquid smoke! Truly - I’m from WI and. The original cheese head and this rivals many sauces I’ve made to mimic “cheeze” sauce!

[@Inspirationhills]

Great idea, I can't wait to try, hoping to turn my bf onto plant base life

[@renefrentzen8670]

The “Game Changer” sauce recipe from Jill McKeever is the best !! I will have to try it this way now. I usually use for nachos

[@lsmith7169]

Your relationship with your brother is lovely. He is a charmer. I made this dish without the soy curls as we don't have these in Canada yet. It was amazing! I also made your oatmeal and banana cookies and they were great too. Thanks!

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

awesome so glad you loved the cookies!!

[@crystalmccallum165]

L Smith , where r u in Canada. I was in a middle eastern Indian market yesterday and they had a few varieties plus some other great plant based finds

[@ejwilliams2002]

Great take on Jill Mckeever's recipe. I love her cheese recipe!! So good!!

[@LindaASJ]

Your brother is hilarious

[@ellentevault6244]

He was so cute. He seem to keep looking for the cheese for cheese sauce. 😂😂

[@77Sharon]

Love this! Definitely making it this week 😍

[@kristhorne7215]

Your brother is awesome! Go Air Force!

[@Equinox1.5]

Great to have a sous-chef! Lovely to see you both cooking together :-)

[@TeamBroccoli]

Love Jill! I haven't made this recipe, but i need to, looks great!

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Its been our go to dinner lately!

[@kathystoner5239]

I like how easy the sauce looks to make. I will have to try this recipe!

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

So easy!!

[@lafujimama]

This looks fabulous. We are Alex fans!

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Thanks for watching!! Love your channel!!

[@MissZee48]

Great video -- thank you for the recipe. Tried the cheese sauce and was pleasantly surprised. Haven't been the biggest fan of nutritional yeast, but enjoyed the sauce with my broccoli & rice and just ordered soy curls to give them a try as well. Love you and your brother -- great team in the kitchen. :)

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Awesome so happy you enjoyed it!!

[@elizabethschouten1980]

I used to hate nutritional yeast! I still don’t love it but I’ve found that I’m learning to like it better by easing into it. Lol. I use about half of what a recipe calls for and up things like garlic powder and other seasonings and slowly work my way up to where I now can almost use the full amount a recipe calls for! I just keep trying! Those taste buds have to change eventually!

[@katherinehall1967]

Y’all are just too adorable. Excited to try this recipe! I would make the sauce right now, but I don’t have the red capsicum. I can make it without, but the nice, savoury capsicum adds a beautiful flavour, it’s worth waiting for. Oddly, it’s what ACTUALLY makes it taste so cheeselike. Yeah, Jill is brilliant with soy curls and IP recipes, I love her. And she IS a great mom! The love in that family between the parents and the kids (and the cute doggie) is SO tight, it crackles! That kind of familial bond is quite admirable, to be sure. You and Alex seem to have such a lovely friendship. I can tell he’s thrilled to learn from you and move his food intake forward to a healthier, cleaner level. Good, strong military running on clean fuel! Awesome. Alex, thank you for your brave service to our country! Be safe, and you are in my prayers.

[@peacefeline1107]

Yes, please, please, PLEASE make the buffalo chicken dip recipe!!! ❤️💛❤️ I loved that recipe before going plant based and would love to have it again but healthy. I love Jill and that cheese recipe is what I use too. I add about 1/4 tsp of turmeric as I feel it give a little depth to the cheese flavor. I don't use the smoke as I'm not a fan. I enjoy seeing your special guest chef, Chef Alex. Congratulations on the graduation and I wish Alex the best in the Air Force!

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Thanks for watching!! I'll totally be making a buffalo "chicken" dip recipe in the future!!

[@peacefeline1107]

The Jaroudi Family YaY!!!

[@jenwylie4093]

Looks delicious! I use rice pasta, a cheese sauces and spicy textured vegetable protein to make a dish that tastes like Hamburger helper, but way healthier. It's pretty crazy how easy it is to transform bad food into good food! I'm glad your cheese sauce is so easy and not nut based. I think I'm going to give it a try!

[@debbieguthrie2307]

It takes a brother to lick the corn starch off his fingers. You taught him well

[@fishermgcj]

I made the sauce after watching Jill, but I love the way you put it together with the rice and broccoli. I WILL make this soon. I already have all the ingredients. Thank you.*ginny*

[@Inspirationhills]

Just made it. It taste great!! I kind of over cooked the rice and broccoli but it taste amazing! Thanks!!

[@robinlaycock9734]

Did anyone cook the casserole in the oven after assemblng?

[@terrymonaghan568]

First, I love your channel! Where do you buy white miso? I ordered miso but it's dark and liquid like soy sauce. Can that be used for this cheese sauce? The white miso you use looks like a paste. What brand do you use and where do you buy it?

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

I use a different brand now - the one I was using back then was being delivered poorly. I had a few deliveries with the packaging being cracked. After that, I was annoyed and just started getting the one they have at our Whole Foods. As long as it is a white (soy) miso paste it'll work.

[@terrymonaghan568]

@@TheJaroudiFamily Thank you! I wish I had a Whole Foods near me but I can probably find it on Amazon. Keep doing what you do! I love your channel! I'm new to the WFPB world and your channel really helps!

[@Raisingirl7]

How much rice and broccoli to the recipe for cheese sauce? Thanks for the video!

[@judithgreaves8267]

What a great video !! You are one of my favorites on you tube...and WOW you have come so far in a short time !!! I was watching your videos when you were giving away Dr Greger's cookbook and now look at how many subscribers you have..Awesome!! I am working on transitioning from a SAD diet to plant based and my greatest challenge will be to convert my 4 grandchildren that live with me (ages 15,13,11,and 5) and I think this recipe will be a keeper!! I also watch Jill and love how she is so simple with her recipes without crazy ingredients and they look very tasty! I am sure your brother will learn a lot from you!

[@michelled7100]

Love the two of you working together. Good luck to Chef Alex in the Air Force! I tried soy curls once and they were kinda mushy (used them in the ipot). I will try them again just soaking and maybe use the shredding suggestion you gave. I also tried Jill's cheese but did not put it on anything--I am going to give it a try again in this recipe. Thanks for more fun videos and ideas!

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Thanks for watching Michelle!

[@77Sharon]

Making this tomorrow. 🤗 Have you tried baking it in the oven after or, will that dry it Out?

[@suzywernet5312]

How much rice and how much broccoli is in that big bowl? Did you use fresh broccoli or did you use frozen? I’m just trying soy curls for the first time and I just want get the quantities right!

[@duanes2000]

Just blend it longer in the vitamix. No need to heat it on the stove.

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

What a great idea! I didn't even think of that, I was just following how Jill originally made it.

[@katherinehall1967]

The Jaroudi Family Yeah, I wondered why you didn’t do that, too. I hate doing dishes, so I never forget that step, lol! I just figured you were doing it for the benefit of people without a high speed blender! 😁🙃

[@lisaredwine4857]

I have one, but have never used it that way. How long would be enough?

[@edielynch7819]

How long do you blend your cheese sauce? I do the Jill Mckeever sauce also and blend it on high for 5 to 6 min. Thickens up really great!

[@sandorkocso1798]

lol he looks like Dr Greger in the kitchen :)))

[@cckindheart]

How many cups of rice were in the bowl?

[@julieguay336]

LOVE it!! I will make this for my kids, but cannot find soy curls anywhere :( what else can I sub?

We find ours on amazon! They are linked in our shop- www.amazon.com/shop/thejaroudifamily

[@julieguay336]

@@TheJaroudiFamily yes, in US $ it's not too $$ but for Canadian shipment it's a bit $ for me... Next time I go to a bigger city I will see if I can buy some.

[@michellestone7761]

This was so good...I made it again...twice in 3 days. Is that normal? ☺️

[@J316girl]

Instead of corn starch you may want to try tapioca flour..it will give it a mozzarella feel. I am definitely going to try this recipe. Thank you.

[@livingtherufflife]

I know this is older vid but you two are too cute! Good for him on learning to cook for himself and going plant based. Military food can be soooo unhealthy but sometimes they don't have much choice.

[@maisymazoo]

what are the amounts of broccoli and rice that you used to go with that amount of cheese sauce?

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

1 bag of frozen broccoli and 1 cup of uncooked brown rice.

[@maisymazoo]

thank you!

[@wastenotwantnot6754]

Yummy! Thank you for this recipe. I love Jill Mckeever too. I just haven't had a chance to make it. Now that it has the Chef Alex stamp of approval, I will definitely give it a go. My nephew is about the same age. If I even mention the word vegan, vegetarian, or plant based. I get a "Oh gross!" From him. The soy curls intrigue me. I'm more of a beans, brown rice and greens buddha bowl kind of vegan. But it looks like a crowd pleaser! Good job!

[@TheJaroudiFamily]

Thanks for watching!!

[@robertwhitman756]

This recipe looks delicious. I am definitely going to try it. This may be a random question, but where did you find the large and wide serving bowl?

I found this one at Kirlands.

Also, the soy curls are cheaper on the Butlers food site than on Amazon.

This looks so good! I have a question. Could you sue these soy curls with BBQ sauce for kind of a sloppy joe recipe?

You can do anything you want to! Experiment!!

I thought it was dr Gregor when I saw the thumbnail @!

[@sandracarli1110]

Thank you for sharing this recipe! Nice to meet Alex, but I found him quite disruptive...

[@norvy729]

I tried the recipe without soy curls and relpaced it with soya chucks. I found this recipe quite bland. I think your soya curls make the recipe rathen than sauce itself.

[@cheezheadz3928]

Soy curls dont have flavor. You have control of spices so why was it bland?

[@pennyanonymous4293]

That was way more than a T of miso - I'm guessing you do need more than a T
