OMG! I just saw this! Lol - THANKS guys! Glad you enjoyed them! Now - about that hug...... ;)
Thanks for sharing all of your great recipes Chuck! We'll make our way to Oregon one day ;)
Thank YOU for the recipes, you mad alchemist... :P you're a bit far for me to plan it, but you've earned about three hugs from me for your recipes as well!
Oh my gosh Chuck, I didn't know you had a UA-cam channel!!! Yay :) Have been following you on FB since you were truly brand new! Lots of love...
Thanks for letting them share this ❤️❤️❤️ and now we know about you is a extra bonus! Kindness cures everything ✌🏻️
I have been making carrot dogs for 60 years since i was 12, That was the year I gave up meat, and Dairy, That was also the year I heard the actor Bob Cummings talk about supplements, and I went whole hog there. my dad used to take me to the country club and proudly he would order me a large salad, with lemon on the side, and a plate of veggies with no oil or salt. and I always had a marvelous time with my parents there. My sister died at 61, my dad at 59, and my mom a very healthy eater at 85, everyone asks me why don't you have white or gray hair, and I tell them my diet, and supplementation provide what I need. I beat asthma, I take no medicine, this is the essence of great health.
I loved that view at 8:59. Brought back memories when I drove through St.Louis to get back east. Marinating in the pressure pot was a good move.
Hehe thanks very much for the plug, guys! That view to go with the grilling is amazing... Fancy joining me in my quest to find how Chuck's recipe works with other dog-like veggies? Parsnips are interesting and really sweet, with a bit of a different texture, and I'm determined to find others!
Yes it is an amazing view! Oooh we might have to try out some others... intriguing! We will probably do another batch soon!
Thank you for incorporating your instant pot in there! I really need to learn how to use mine in more recipes so this has inspired me!
We do too! It is so useful but we always forget about it since it is stored away in a cabinet. I will say, we have gotten way more use out of our small kitchen appliances since starting this UA-cam channel :) It is fun to test out different methods!
Love that your from Missouri! I lived in Kansas City MO for most of my life and miss it!
Omg the view from your roof is amazing ❤ St. Louis is my favorite city to visit and seeing that makes me miss it so much 😭
Awesome! It's amazing what you can do with straight up whole foods an a little creativity. Recently found a recipe for a potato and carrot based queso that is unbelievable.
I really need to start making my own queso! There are so many good recipes out there!!
You should! We first found it and used it to make vegan hamburger helper (amazing) and now we always have a big glassware container of it and stopped buying vegan cheeses. So far we've used it for nachos, macaroni, quesadillas (really awesome for this), cheese fries, cheesey broccoli, even grilled cheese sandwiches and veggie sausage and cheese biscuits.
We'll make half of the batch spicy and leave the other half plain, for obvious reasons.
Super cheap, filling, and nutritious! Makes a ton. It's literally just potatoes, carrots, nooch, water, oil, lemon juice, and some spices.
All of that sounds super tasty! I'll have to try making my own after I get through my Trader Joe's queso!
I finally got around to making these... They are now on the weekly menu! Every Sunday.
You two are awesome...
I think I'm going to try this using raw onions instead of sauteed. I might even add a little.......gulp......catsup.
Thanks for the great recipe! And thanks to Chuck!
I have made the carrot hot dogs. They were very good!! Loved them!
Wow, I just made these. I couldn’t tell the difference from a hot dog. I do think it’s better to use skinnier carrots. Thanks. I also signed up with new vegan guy website.
Great video! Funny and love the music! OK...I will give carrot dogs a shot!
I love you and BNV and all you UA-camrs sharing your knowledge .. I worked with a knowledge hoarder for ten years that liked to blame people for not doing anything .. Poor dear, may she rot like a forgotten potato lol
Ohhh......... my favorite video so far!!!!
If you are WFPB No Oil please note that Better than Boullion does have canola oil in it! :) Chuck is one of my favs. I've not yet tried the carrot dogs yet.
Yes this is a good point :) We stick to no oil 99% of the time but we really like using this... probably not the best, but it works well! Chuck has created a lot of amazing recipes - we love the cauliflower taco meat and his Bolognese is so good!
Amazing! Thanks Priscilla!
What kind of buns do you guys eat ... are they wheat flour free and do you have any healthy tortillas wheat flour free that you would please recommend.... thanks a bunch
You guys look so healthy now! You going to make the cover of B4 & Afta mag. Thats a spinoff of New Vegan mag. Jus thinkin! KUGW=KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK....BLESSED
LOL Thank you Donald. We certainly feel a lot healthier these days!
Yumm
Who knew carrots could be so tasty!
I love carrot hot dogs!! Sooo good!!
These are the bomb! I did make them and the seasonings are spot on. I tried another recipe once, but not enough liquid smoke. These will be a mainstay moving forward. Thanks for posting!
Chuck is a genius! We love his recipe!
What kind of buns did you use I can t wait to try this recipe.
Hi Megan! We used a generic whole wheat kind in the video, but I prefer to use the Ezekiel 4:9® Sprouted Whole Grain ones when possible. They are a bit more expensive though!
@@KrocksInTheKitchen Thank you I will keep my eye out for those. I have watched all of your videos. I went grocery shopping and got the stuff I need to start the eat to live 6 weeks and I will be doing the 6 weeks eat to live until I reach my goal weight d then ad more whole grains but and seeds and fruit to maintain.
You most definitely need thinner carrots!! Thinner ones taste much better!!
Lightlife makes some great vegan 'hotdogs' that totally fool non vegans. They are so good and lots of protien and only 50 cal per link.
We will have to check them out! Thanks for the suggestion!
Are they SOS free?
Wow, somebody REALLY likes Rob Thomas and Matchbox Twenty. The shirt AND the water bottle!?
LOL Okay, I might have a Rob Thomas problem 😃 I actually didn't notice I had both the bottle and shirt on until we were watching this back 😅 I always have my Rob Thomas water bottles with me though - those things keep water cold for like 24 hours!
Too funny Thanks😂😂
An instant pot will say “burn”, I know from experience. Not good.
Rut roh
The drumstick spoons...
Lol! As a drummer who loves to cook, I think it's only fitting that I have drumstick spoons :D
One would expect nothing less 😋
😂😂😂😂😂
Skinnier carrots taste less like carrots once prepared. Also the white carrots are more mild. I put mine in a pan on the stove with the marinade, and then let them simmer so the marinade becomes thicker and sticks to the carrots... smaller carrots in diameter definitely helps.
Thanks for the tips! :) We will have to test these out!
@@KrocksInTheKitchen I'd also suggest piercing the carrots with a fork after the instant pot step, then let them sit overnight in the marinade before grilling. It makes a HUGE difference!!
@@DelightfulDissident Thank you for the tips! We will be making another batch soon, so we'll definitely try that!
Ooh I'm going to try this method today thanks.
I will have to try the white carrots! Excellent idea.
This is becoming one of my favorite channels..y'all are so awesome 😊
My favorite part of this video is leaving Brian alone with his thoughts. Talk about laughing out loud! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for another awesome video. 👏👏👏
I also add smoked paprika and cumin powder. After boiling I like to let them sit in the fridge for a couple days and the flavor really intensifies. The leftover juice makes great mashed potatoes and if you marinade the little carrot parts you can make beans and carrot weenies!
You marreid him because he is very sweet and kind, and a good man! Y'all are both a very sweet cute couple! I love watching your show. I have seen this also on Jill McKeever, and The Plant Based Cooking Show (with another Jill) first about a year ago, so maybe I will try this because I have been very curious! WOW, 6'6" he is a mountain of a man. Thank you for sharing, Shalom and G-d bless y'all!
Those look amazing but more importantly, MATCHBOX TWENTY!!!! I’ve been a huge fan since the beginning!! Right on! You guys are great, love watching your videos!!!
Awesome recipe! I don't have an instapot and lack the patience to let it marinade for hours. So I simmered the "dogs" in the marinade until they were cooked! I haven't tried grilling them yet, but looks promising!
Good for you guy's!! 👏I'm so impressed with your willingness to try alternative, healthy foods. I've been vegan (for health reasons) for 5 year's & your out of the gate devotion is incredible & so admirable! I can already see huge changes in you both. Please keep up the great work 👍. I promise you, you won't ever regret this. You're a great testimony & you'll save lives of ppl that need to see your transformation. I wish you'd had blood labs prior to the diet for reference. That would make a great video for the skeptics. 💖 2 u beautiful ppl. Thank you
Thank you very much! 😀It would have been great to get our health stats from a doctor before hand. I did get my blood work done a month or so after we started and everything was great. 😀
-Brian
Jessica here! I have blood work from before we started, right after we started and I’m due for another round again soon. Everything has drastically improved since we started this almost a year ago. My blood pressure was elevated before as well and it has gone back into the normal range. Thanks for watching!
@@KrocksInTheKitchen that's awesome! I thought it would've improved, but it's great to have proof for the naysayers. Have you watched the documentary, "Plant Pure Nation" by Nelson Campbell. He's the son of Dr T Collin Campbell who wrote the China Study. The documentary made me think about you. Check it out. It's informative.
You guys look fantastic keep on doing what you're doing
Thank you very much! We are loving it!
I'd use smaller carrots, cook a minute longer in the IP, or let them sit overnight in the brine. I did them with thinner carrots and OMG they were fantastic. Even my non-WFPB wife tried one and thought that, except for the texture, they tasted like hot dogs. And she's a HUGE Nathan's / Sabrettes dog fan. I couldn't detect any "carrotty" flavor. In fact, I have all the ingredients ready in my kitchen as I type this. Grilling out on Saturday!!
Maybe if you poked the carrots with a fork a bunch of time the marinade would sink in better and give more flavor?
Every video of yours seems to have a moment where I'm like "OMG!!! I have to leave a comment about ______!" Lol! I love better than bouillon, it's one of my favorite kitchen hacks. 😁 Love your videos and all the humorous edits. (Also, Let's Go Blues!)
We love the comments! Thank you :) and yes Let's Go Blues!!
That bit playing with the knife cracked me up.
Don't play with knives. 🙂
-Brian
I coordinate “Vegetarians & Friends”. We meet once a month for a pot luck. This month it’s a picnic - I’ll let you know what the guys think of carrot dogs. I’m also bringing S.O.B. burgers from Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook. Would love to see your version of a vegan burger. Love you guys. Thanks for all you do!
Delicious! I made it and topped it with your chili recipe. Super Labor Day recipe. Thank you!
Chuck is awesome! Love BNV recipes ❤️ Keep up the good work Krocks!
Thank you for watching! :)
FYI... take the leftover marinade and add it to some rice and cooked veggies.. for a Smokey rice stir fry...
Wow, that's a great idea! I am totally doing that next time!😀
total non vegan over here but this idea intreges me for fedding my kids carrots. getting enough veggies is important even for those of use whose bodies function better giving up grains than animal protien. I watch a lot a vegan things actually. I appricate real food. and when the channels don't get to preachy. please include more veggie recipies that don't exclude meat eaters.
These carrot dogs really blew my mind with how good they were! 😀 I promise we will try very hard to not be preachy. 😀
-Brian
I just have to say... you two are simply the best! I adore your personalities, you are definitely my kind of humans! Haha 🤣 Another wonderful video from you guys! I will certainly have to try this recipe out some time! Much love to you and yours!
Your carrots to big. Do smaller regular sizes. You can poke tiny holes to help infuse them. You don't need tge syrup and garlic powder wworks just fine also. Add paprika, papper, nutmeg. Instead of veg broth or your cubes( way to much sodium) can take a package of low sodium beef/brown, chicken or even Turkey GRAVY package and mix just 1/4 the package with a little water. After instant pot. Put in fry pan and put carrots and add the leftover juice marinade and let it simmer and stick to it. You can chop onions etc, toss in while pan fry to let the leftovers infuse & stick to them .( only until leftovers brine all brown on the carrots. Leave skin on carrots for that regular hot dog skin it mocks. You can use shaved chopped carrots as a healthy substitute for bread coating for chicken nuggets also. Will need to air fry. No oil needed.
I like veggie burgers ( I hope that's not a no no with y'all ) and I cannot wait to try the BK one. I am lucky I got a natural aversion to meat. I started vegg'n more and feel better and am a bit smaller too I think. I like boca burgers better than Morningstar farms ( hope dat's ok too? I've not seen enuff of ur vids to know if you're aggin em ) LOL and the real secret to the boca burgers is to Burn em! I pan fry and they are charred beyond recog. I have even fed them to kids and they didn't know. I don't like the Morningstar farms corn dogs the "meat" in them has no snap. You gotta have a snap for it to be a hawt dog. I know everything I mentioned prolly has too much sodium. YOU GUYS ROCK BUTT!!
I’ve only been watching your videos for a couple of months, so this may be “old hat” to you, but since I haven’t seen you do it I thought I would mention it. Baba ghanouj. I know you like hummus, but baba ghanouj is a whole ‘nother thing. I found that by playing with the ingredients I can make a really nice substitute for mayonnaise/sandwich spread. This is wonderful because I love chickpea salad. If you’ve never tried chickpea salad, just take a can of chickpeas, squash them up but leave them chunky, add minced celery and onion, your “mayonnaise,” a little lemon juice or cider vinegar, a pinch of sugar or other sweetener to balance out the acidity, and salt and pepper to taste if desired. It is a marvelous substitute for chicken salad. You can put it on bread and make a sandwich, make a wrap, just serve it on the lettuce, or stuff other vegetables with it, like mushrooms. You can dress up this chickpea salad and even make it quite elegant with the addition of fresh herbs, diced apple or grapes. I like what you’re doing. Keep up the good work!
Jessica to answer your question... For the same reason that Jessica Rabbit married Roger Rabbit "He makes me laugh". Brian you remind me of my brother with the nerd refs throughout your videos. Since I live 2000 miles from him it is a nice reminder.
Yum! We were thinking we would get rid of our grill since we don't eat meat anymore. But, we will definitely try this. My 7 year old never liked meat except the really bad stuff, like hot dogs and sausage. Lol.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I came on Chuck's recommendation and will binge all day!! You guys are great. And WOW! The shot of your first video is amazing! What a change!!
Thank you so much! The photo from the first video was after we'd lost around 200 pounds combined :D We are getting close to 270 between the two of us since starting in June 2018! It is amazing what plants can do!
I use a very similar recipe but instead of cooking the hotdogs in the marinade the recipe a use calls for boiling the carrots in water and then marinating them for several hours. I usually marinate overnight. Then you can cook them in a skillet, oven or on a grill and just keep basting them as you did. I think it gives a little more flavor.
That looks amazing! Will definitely try this recipe! Thanks!
I don't know if the recipe is exactly the same but this idea was
Going around in the 1970's
Please list all the sauce ingredients thanks!
It isn't our recipe. But you can find the recipe linked in the description. 😀
MY VEGGIE STOCK - TAKE THE BOTTOMS AND TOPS PF ONIONS AND ANY OTHER VEGETABLE PEELS OR ENDS. THROW IN A SAUCE PAN WITH 4 CUPS OF WATER AND BOIL. WHEN BOILED STRAIN OUT VEGGIES AND STORE IN MASON JAR.
what type of liquid smoke did you use; i have hickory and another kind and wasn't sure
I tried this and it tastes and smells like soy sauce and vinegar. Doesn’t taste bad, but doesn’t taste anything like a hot dog.
Wonder what this marinade paired with tofu would taste like?
New subscriber, also living in St. Louis! Been binging and enjoying your videos!
Awesome! 😀 Thank you very much! It's always good to find another resident of our great city on here! 😀
-Brian
WOW, you guys have an amazing view.
#question What about texture?
How often do you guys use your instant pot are they very useful
Holy giant carrots! I always use the skinny carrots and the marinade seeps in better.
Also, after watching this, I stand by my ADHD comment. We can sense our own.
LOL! We picked all of the biggest carrots but we'll definitely try out a few smaller ones as well next time and see how it goes!
@@KrocksInTheKitchen I'm more of a toppings aficionado myself, and love experimenting with that aspect.
Speaking of toppings, do you like pizza? I love pizza.
@@InstantCrazy1 Peef loves pizza!! :)
Looking at the guys body type i gotta believe he is sneaking over to KFC and McDonald's when his lady is at work.
More likely it would be Hardee’s 😂😂😂 - His lady 😁
Hi Brian hi Jessica I know this is probably an old video but I made these hot dogs oh my goodness I am shocked how I turned a carrot into the most delicious dog ever. They even taste better than the hot dogs themselves . These carrot dogs are unbelievable delicious just unbelievable 😋 yum yum
They really are great! Even my non-plant based friends think they are really good. 😀
I made this recipe of Chuck's just last week and I was very pleasantly surprised as well. I didn't peel my carrots and I didn't have liquid smoke so I used smoked paprika and they still came out hot doggie smelling! We dont have a grill but yours cooked on the grill look even better. I am really enjoying watching your videos. And I just LOVE Peef❤
This is exactly what I did; I haven't the first clue as to what 'Liquid Smoke' would even be in German, nevermind where to find it in Berlin! Smoked Paprika worked out great, and if you leave them in the oven at about 200°C/390°F until they *look* done, maybe a little blackening on the high points, they're soft and perfect...
Experiments with Parsnips have yielded less successful results, but I'm determined to get that figured out :P
The hot dog smell really threw me off... how it is possible? LOL. Thank you so much for watching our videos and glad you love Peef :D
@@KrocksInTheKitchen how do you think hot dogs get that smell? Lol! From the flavorings and spices too!
Haha very true :) It was just bizarre to have carrots smelling like that LOL
@@KrocksInTheKitchen lol!
Ha ha! This is great! I watched Brand New Vegan's video, but the link to video didn't work and his website didn't show either. Your links were there and worked! Can't wait to try this!
Glad we could help. 😀 I let Chuck know about the issue and he is looking into it. 🙂
this would be a better chili dog casserole with your homemade chili, these carrot dogs imp heard meal, topped with corn bread . just an after thought
Sounds good to me. 😀
This looks great, and just in time for summer! I can't wait to try this out!
It was such a fun recipe! :)
With vegan chili and onions.
You two crack me up ! Who knew peef was a secret rock 🌟 ? :)
Peef has a lot of secrets!
Chuck at BNV I'm going to sub to you❤️
Carrot dogs! So I can have beenie weenie?! Yay! Need corn bread on the side ...hmmm...
Oh and could you do a video about Nuts?...go nuts!
They Call me Birdie😊
Seems pretty simple, just takes some time. No excuse not to try it.
It was really simple! We will definitely be making these again!
Ditto on BNV.
love them
Fun video guys!
Thanks for watching :)
There's a recipe out there which is similar but also adds mace and coriander but no liquid smoke. You are cook carrots and then marinate for 12 hours, then simmer carrots and marinade until all marinade evaporates. It's awesome! My carrot hating husband loves them!
Now I have an idea for what do do for the 4th! I love cooking out, this will be nice
Last year on the 4th of July, it was during our two weeks of potatoes, so we ate plain potatoes on the rooftop of our building and watched the air show (while everyone else grilled LOL). So it will be nice to have something to make this year :) We'll probably add some veggie kabobs too!
Please include affiliate links for the nonstick grill mat, Instant Pot, Curry Mustard, etc.
Wonderful video! Do you think it would be possible to skewer these "dogs" on a hot dog stick and cook them over a bonfire?
Is vital wheat gluten flour used in your diet? I have made hotdogs and sandwich slices with that and herbs. Is that considered ok....or not?
If you marinate steamed carrots in the marinade for a few days prior to grilling they WILL taste like hotdogs. 🙂
You guys are such a fun couple . I'm vegan too but Ive been trying to find oil free inspiration . Thanks I subscribed and hit the bell !
Isn’t (Chuck) the the best? Short intros, no nonsense recipes and great advice. Only thing I’d love is the taste test which is rarely done.
These are awesome I took them to a BBQ and even non-vegans asked for the recipe. Thanks so much !! Just subscribed.
I just recently found your videos and I have enjoyed every single one I have watched so far.... :) :)
I have made these. Great review. Thanks
Thanks :) They were so good!
You’ve sold me on trying this. Tomorrow will be my first time. I’ll have to use parchment paper and broil it in my oven after the instant pot cooking. Thanks.
But does it taste like a hotdog lol
I would say that it is pretty close to a hotdog. 😀
I made these. They are actually very good. I added red wine to the marinade. And whole Jalapenos.
I wouldn’t care if they tasted like meat all I care about is if they taste good 😁👍
just found your channel, then clicked on this video and saw you live in my neck of the woods. Really enjoying your channel thanks
When you opened that Instapot, I wished I could smell it, lol!
These are grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! My friend fixed them for me and others. Yummmmy!
