The worst thing about jack is his arrogance, he makes Yorkshire pudding for the first time and acts like he's an authority on how they should be made. Kay's cooking may not be very good but she's humble about things she doesn't know even if she's filming herself do it.
Idk I don't get that vibe from Jack personally he just seems to be a household cook who's like "Here's my way of cooking (x)". He's still kind of arrogant but I've never gotten the impression that he thinks he's the authority on how food should be made
Also do not know what pasta your using he's using penne not macaroni, also lasagna is layered sheets not a pasta bake wtf it's not lazy man's lasagna because it's just not lasagna it's lazy man penne pasta bake
I can't wait for Jack to make his Lazy Man's PB&J. It'll probably be smashing whole peanuts and grapes together with a hammer, and about a pound of cheese.
The scariest thing about Jack's cooking is the fact he's cooking for kids. The school chili contest were he used rotten brisket should be considered a crime.
I remember Jack constantly doing this thing where hes like "im cooking for 40 people this time, so im going to take every shortcut possible and make something truly awful so that everyone within a 30 mile radius AND online knows how bad I am at cooking" Like, cooking for a crowd is the one time where putting extra effort into it is actually worth it.
yeah true he actually seems to purposefully cook extra bad when it's for other people, crowds and competitions. makes zero sense but alright that's jack, i guess. 😂
I think he's full of crap, I don't know what maniac(s) would want him cooking for their event or crowd. He reminds me of the neighbor or random guy who sees you cooking something on the smoker and asks what you're cooking, but you know it's just so they can do the playground one-upmanship thing. Neighbor/Guy: "Whatcha cookin'?" You: "Pork butt." Neighbor/Guy: "I just did 30 pork butts the other day." You: *Nodding* (and resisting the urge to yell, "Bullshit" at him).
@@mikebraun7971 I think that it can be more severe than one-upping anyone and he's probably a habitual liar at this point. Like when he told his mom that he wanted to knew the proportions because "the people in Germany are complaining" (like his comment section isn't usually disabled) then he tells his mom that he won't be using this footage in the video and includes it anyway with the part when his mom tells him not to. He's always cooking for some imaginary guests like people would want to eat his cooking again and again. It probably happens, but I doubt that they are coming again (maybe aunt Myrna). The same with that unfortunate chili. He hypes himself up so much that I bet in his mind nobody knows how talented he is but if only an expert tasted his food then they would know that he's a genius. And the fact how he refers to himself in plural form when he's cooking - "we will show you how to..." - like he has a whole camera crew, editors and producers. It could be even kinda funny if he wasn't a father.
Yeah like that chili church competition he uses brisket he cooked a year ago an some other stuff that was old. An entertaining that in competition an got mad with the church because he didn't win. Like dude if ur cooking for crowd or especially for competion or getting paid to cook for someone. It time to go all out. It not time to do short cuts. U give the nthe best I got why because the more people that can eat ur food an enjoy it can become future customers. Just kike restaurants you will have regular customer an new customer u treat new customers just like regular customers because even regular customers at one time where new customers. Now yeah don't take advantage of ur regular customers they take priority because as long as there happy they come back. But the new customer can still become a regular as long as u treat them right
Jack makes me feel better because despite having minimal experience I still know how to cook for human consumption. Jack's gut biome is somewhere between a Denny's dumpster behind a cheap Motel, Chernobyl, and a biology class's hazardous material disposal.
The kid was a teen too. I thought it was a small kid, but he’s older. At least that’s what I learned from August the Duck. His videos on Jack are hilarious.
Jack's from California, he later moved to Tennessee for tax reasons. Probably my favorite aspect of jack is that he genuinely equates himself to a chef or TV cook.
More than just tax reasons. He feels more comfortable in a state like Tennessee for mainly cultural and political reasons. Jack is an EXTREME Right-wing Conservative whose on the record supporting, among other things, the Genocide of Palestinians, the criminalization of Homosexuality, "Pastor" Maury Davis (a convicted murderer), and he also warns viewers to ONLY leave comments on his channel in English, so I can only assume his views on newly arrived immigrants are rather retrograde as well.
If you haven't already, you need to review Jack's chili. He uses a 18 month old slab of rancid green brisket for the meat, then enters it in a chili contest (suprise - he doesn't win).
"It's like wiping your ass and then taking a shit" took me out 😂 "The moisture is going to destroy the lasagna" LOL. But remember, water is the enemy of flavor, Brian 😉
Guys, thank you for saying baked ziti! I immediately thought that as well. It would be better if he only combined the pasta and sauce and then layer it all in the baking pan.

Jack is from California, but moved to Nashville over a decade ago. And to be honest, while I wouldn't call it a lasagna, the whole thing would rather classify as a pasta casserole. I somewhat remember watching that episode a decade ago, and it wasn't that bad. But I unfollowed Jack because he became too creepy for my taste on Twitter. And of course, I know better about him now. And I nearly forgot: The pasta he used looks like a shorter variety of penne rigate.
I really like the guest chef idea and sharing the pain/joy with someone else. It's a bit more engaging to have the banter and it looks like you guys had a great time.
there is definitely room for a cooking channel about how to quickly and effectively knock up easy simple meals like baked ziti for instance but i feel like jack can't be trusted with much after all the times hes eaten raw ass chicken on camera.
I sincerely hope that the teacher who’s allowing him to give kids food poisoning sees his channel and bans him. I think it’s very likely he left all that sitting out overnight.

For me a lazy man's lasagna is a lasagna, that doesn't need to cook for 4+ hours. I don't make a traditional lasagna, it is a bit more adjusted for the German pallet, which means more tomato and saucier (and in my case extra spices because i like flavour). I usually make my lasagna like this: 0. start in the morning 1. put bacon and minced meat in an enamelled cast iron pot and let it brown 2. finely dice Celeriac (it's cheaper and tastier than celery), carrots and onion and add it to the meat along with some tomato paste. 3. When it smells right (I don't know how to explain it better) add (red wine), tomato purée, bay leaf, oregano, nutmeg, thyme and a little bit of cinnamon and cumin, just a little, you won't taste it later, it just makes it taste better. 4. let it simmer until you need it, so for 4 hours or more if you want it for lunch, maybe stir it every hour or so, but you don't really have to. 5. add garlic, basil, parsley, pepper and salt to taste. 6. make a béchamel sauce, flavour with nutmeg and pepper, add some Italian hard cheese, I use grana padano because it is cheap. 7. assemble with lasagna sheets, that don't have to be precooked (the standard here in Germany). If you want it cheesy, and a bit more stable, you can add some cheese between the layers. 8. bake until the cheese on top is lightly browned, maybe 30 minutes If I am lazy, I don't wait for 4 hours and instead cook the... "ragout" / sauce on higher heat. You could dice the vegetables in a food processor, but I find cleaning the thing more annoying than just dicing the stuff with a knife. Mixing it all together obviously will taste good too, but if you do that, why don't you just eat Spaghetti with a bolognese sauce?
@@GGysar Lmao that is not what the vast majority of ppl do when they make lasagna, and you know damn well that wasn’t what I was talking about. If ppl do make a traditional ragu alla bolognese for their lasagna though, they most likely have that prepared in advance. You don’t have to make that traditional sauce to make lasagna. You can prepare a great pasta meat sauce from scratch in less time and ain’t nothing lazy about it.
@@BijinMCMXC I always cook my bolognese that long because it isn't more work, it just requires some planning. Prepare it in the morning, put in on the stove and it will be ready for lunch or dinner, whenever you want to eat it.
I bet Jack didn't even check the mozzarella or ricotta if it was vegetarian because most cheeses(especially Italian cheeses due to the obsession with tradition) aren't vegetarian due to the use of rennet instead of a vegetarian alternative.
Sometimes I wonder if Jack knows his cooking is terrible and he’s pranking us. But then, the man does eat nearly raw chicken, so that might be giving him too much credit.
My mom made some sort of "stovetop lasagna" using mafaldine pasta. I think it was all the ingredients of lasagna, but served like spaghetti. But her technique was better than Jack's and it was pretty delicious haha.
Ah, an Uncle Roger fan. This dish would make my Italian ancestors cry, and I don't have any. I used to live in ltaly, and I know good Italian cooking. This isn't it.
Thank you for uploading this today. I've been up all night puking and only slept two hours. Now I gotta watch both the kids. You long windedly tearing apart a Jack video is precisely what I needed to make this day better!
Your friend's cool and chill. Loved the colab. And, yeah, I mean, that video from Jack is probably the best he's done. It's definitely 100% edible (not something you can say about most of his videos). I mean, I'd eat the hell out of it, for sure. But yeah... seems like it was baked ziti... of sorts.
I'm no professional chef, but I always have a high-rated recipe for reference. I may tinker with it a bit for personal taste, but I follow it as close as possible. My philosophy is you don't need to be an expert at everything you cook, but have a handful of meals you can cook really well.
I only remember one time doing this international food thing in school. Wasn't as diverse as you would think. Seeing as how EVERYONES PARENTS WERE MEXICAN. So we just had tons of Mexican food. Nothing wrong with that just kind of another day of eating home cooked food.
I love Jack's stare, when he tastes his dish... I always hear that modem-is-connecting sound (Beeeeeeeyuuuuuuuuu... pong ! pong !) dunring the half second period he stares in the void before saying "it's delicious !"
Love listening to you react alone but with a guest is a nice change of pace too. Great chemistry in this one would be cool to see him back on channel. Really enjoyed the one with your editor too!
I hate to admit that I made up a recipe in college that I've always called the "Poor Man's Lasagna", because you can get all the ingredients for about $15 and it'll feed you for a week. I have a fancier, more traditional recipe as well (most things are from scratch) that I make when I have guests. But I think my "Poor Man's Lasagna" might actually be even lazier than the one in the reaction lol. I sincerely apologize to anyone I'm about to offend with this recipe but here goes... I heat up jarred pasta sauce, brown some ground beef and throw it in the sauce. Then I just make layers of the sauce, dried lasagna noodles, sliced Swiss cheese, dollops of cottage cheese (instead of ricotta) and bagged low moisture mozzarella. Throw all that in the oven, covered with tin foil for 40 mins. Then take the cover off and add more mozzarella on top and cook until it browns. It only takes about 15 minutes of prep and assembly. If you don't have the time to prep a really good lasagna, it's surprisingly a lot better than something like Stouffer's or the other pre-made ones from the grocery store. But if you've got the time, definitely go with something a little more.... traditional. I apologize to everyone for releasing this sacrilegious recipe to world, but in a pinch it's a time and money saver!
As an Italian home cook, casserole type pastas do end up absorbing sauce over night, but I grew up with that not being a bad thing. Being an adult you lose some texture but gain letting your gravy meld into the pasta. Not saying that's good in a professional setting, it isn't at all, but at home? Man it's comfort the day after. That's real lazy Italian cooking. Day after pasta is godly if it's made right the day of
Block cheese is not cheaper than shredded, and if it is it's by a few cents. Not twice the price. However, if you buy grated cheese, it won't melt like block cheese because of the anticaking agent they put in it. I make a version of this in soup form. It's called Lasagna Soup. I put the cheese on top at the last minute, make my own sauce from our garden tomatoes, peppers, onions and garlic, all of which I smoke in the smoker. I can the sauce/meat part of it so all we have to do is cook the pasta (tried canning the soup with the pasta, but it turns to mush) - so much better fresh. Then we top with the cheese and we're good to go. Does this version not look like way too much for a single class? You could feed the school with all that.
When I was a newly married wife who was working 40+hours a week and bringing work home and trying to raise kids. I because well versed in making a lot of fast meals for my family, I never made this, ever. My Italian step dad would have died of a heart attack if I did😂😂😂
So that meant we had Italian on the weekends when I could make a proper meal. We had leftovers into the week. Rest of the week we had whatever momma threw together. 😂
So, Uncle Roger correctly stated when reviewing Jamie Oliver that when you make ramen, you need to use ramen noodles. To make lasagna, you need to use lasagna noodles. otherwise it's just pasta. Lasagna is built up in layers, not mulched together. it's baked. it has seasonings in it. This barely qualifies as pasta.
Growing up one of my favorite dinners was something like this. We'd throw together white cheddar mac and cheese, ground beef, and spaghetti sauce. Then we'd cover it in cheddar cheese and bake it in the oven. We called it "poor man's lasagna."
When I was very young, Dad tried making crock pot lasagna. Clearly, the first step is to cook the noodles. So he left them in there for 24 hours and then ditched the idea when he found grey mush the next day. Porridge has more texture and color than that did.
The worst lasagna on earth, is the one that woman made in the dish washer, with the recycled spaghetti sauce. That should be considered a crime against humanity.
Ed is hilarious dude. I Love your guest man! After I ran out of Uncle Roger videos I really started hitting these ones. Definitely good content, thanks Chef!!
I'm almost halfway through this and....as an Italian I'm MORTIFIED at what I'm seeing. I'm no pro chef, but I know my Italian cuisine. He's making BAKED ZITI that freaking looks like penne vodka!!! And his kitchen looks like something out of Blue's Clues! Uggggh, can't WAIT to see how this ends😩🙄
The whole point of lasagna is the distinct layers and that it gets baked, at least do one of those two things, ideally both. This is not lazy mans lasagna, this is crazy mans lasagna.
I mean, that's literally the definition of lazy cuisine. Just pile the ingredients into a bowl. And mix it together. It's definitely not "nachos" or "lasagna" because these dishes have their own names but it's all the same ingredients.
everyone´s safe? the public is safe? did you not hear him say he made this for his son´s school class? also looking at the church chili i highly doubt the public considers itself "safe"
I'm confused. Lasagna are sheets of pasta, those are Pene. And Maccaroni are small tubes. Also if you want to make Lasagna, you need the meet to better solidify everything. Vegetarian lasagna will not hold as well.
Hey Chef Brian it was great to finally meet you. Hopefully you check out more of the Ocky Way Tic Toc’s. And Masterchef Australia Reynold aka the Desert King.
We are waiting!!! Glad you include Uncle Roger in your videos since he got cancelled! It would be cool if you re-create the awful dishes exactly and taste them on your vlog to further analyze them better! I think that would be comedy gold!
5:00 - 7:00 I’m glad you had the guest chef explain their background. From 5:00 and earlier he gave me the impression of an experienced amateur chef. When you had him explain his track record a bit more in depth I really had more respect for his insight due to experience.
This video was great. I like how Ed's dry take (presumably from confusion) paired with your willingness to dive into the marvel of ineptness that is "Cooking with Jack." Thanks for the laughs.
@@SehrDummerAccountNam I haven't looked into him too much, but he did accuse his church congregation of cheating at a chili cookoff because he lost. Not the most egregious thing, but definitely sets a tone.
I'm confused how this isn't just a pasta meal, rather than specifically lasagne Edit after watching the video: That's basically what we call in the UK a pasta bake. Pasta with extra cheese on top grilled in the oven 🤷
Let’s be honest, No one is safe from Jack. Whenever there’s a family event or any sort of event where he cooks everyone is doomed. But Ed was a great addition for this episode! Would love to see more episodes from him, especially seeing the monstrosities of Jacks Cooking and how he developed his signature Iron Gut
While funny to rip good ol' Jack, over the years I learned how cooking itself is not something that comes natural, some things make no sense or just flat out work out of the norm: you need to be teach on how to cook at the end of the day, even simple things. Jack's problem is how he never, ever move from square one even when info of cooking is far more accessible nowdays and after clearly getting a stroke for his horrible food. Im not a fan of reaction channels but this one is tame, not fake and overhype, keep the good work.
Not sure if Jack is from there originally but in his older videos he lived in California. He moved to Tennessee at some point, that's where he lives now.
That looks more like a pasta salad than a lasagna. As far as easy lasagna goes, Joshua Weissman has my go to recipe. Its simple, inexpensive and delicious.
I want to know how many kids were in that class. Man made enough food to feed a small army. But on another note, I really enjoy you doing reacts with guests!

It's not a positive in any way, shape or form. Reheated pasta can contain b. cereus spores that are highly toxic and can be lethal.

For me a lazy man's lasagna is a lasagna, that doesn't need to cook for 4+ hours.
I don't make a traditional lasagna, it is a bit more adjusted for the German pallet, which means more tomato and saucier (and in my case extra spices because i like flavour).
I usually make my lasagna like this:
0. start in the morning
1. put bacon and minced meat in an enamelled cast iron pot and let it brown
2. finely dice Celeriac (it's cheaper and tastier than celery), carrots and onion and add it to the meat along with some tomato paste.
3. When it smells right (I don't know how to explain it better) add (red wine), tomato purée, bay leaf, oregano, nutmeg, thyme and a little bit of cinnamon and cumin, just a little, you won't taste it later, it just makes it taste better.
4. let it simmer until you need it, so for 4 hours or more if you want it for lunch, maybe stir it every hour or so, but you don't really have to.
5. add garlic, basil, parsley, pepper and salt to taste.
6. make a béchamel sauce, flavour with nutmeg and pepper, add some Italian hard cheese, I use grana padano because it is cheap.
7. assemble with lasagna sheets, that don't have to be precooked (the standard here in Germany). If you want it cheesy, and a bit more stable, you can add some cheese between the layers.
8. bake until the cheese on top is lightly browned, maybe 30 minutes
If I am lazy, I don't wait for 4 hours and instead cook the... "ragout" / sauce on higher heat. You could dice the vegetables in a food processor, but I find cleaning the thing more annoying than just dicing the stuff with a knife. Mixing it all together obviously will taste good too, but if you do that, why don't you just eat Spaghetti with a bolognese sauce?
Extra tomato paste can reduce the simmering time. Stuff's already concentrated.
This is not lazy lasagna it’s just lasagna…I don’t know of any lasagna that needs 4 hrs of cooking time
@@BijinMCMXC A real, traditional ragù alla bolognese needs to cook for several hours.
@@GGysar Lmao that is not what the vast majority of ppl do when they make lasagna, and you know damn well that wasn’t what I was talking about. If ppl do make a traditional ragu alla bolognese for their lasagna though, they most likely have that prepared in advance. You don’t have to make that traditional sauce to make lasagna. You can prepare a great pasta meat sauce from scratch in less time and ain’t nothing lazy about it.
@@BijinMCMXC I always cook my bolognese that long because it isn't more work, it just requires some planning. Prepare it in the morning, put in on the stove and it will be ready for lunch or dinner, whenever you want to eat it.
I bet Jack didn't even check the mozzarella or ricotta if it was vegetarian because most cheeses(especially Italian cheeses due to the obsession with tradition) aren't vegetarian due to the use of rennet instead of a vegetarian alternative.
did he say it was vegetarian? i didnt even notice😅😅😂
@asatraven4752 it's been over a year. I can't remember 🫡 but it's hard to notice things over the horror of having Jack in the kitchen
@@damiaanwolters4739 true🤣🤣
I love Ed's energy. It's that of a sarcastic dad and I am so here for it.
The many screams I scrumpt… the many things I yelled. Even with it being “lazy man” I am upsetti spaghetti
Sometimes I wonder if Jack knows his cooking is terrible and he’s pranking us. But then, the man does eat nearly raw chicken, so that might be giving him too much credit.
😂
Honestly I wonder if he just happens to have a really good editor on staff so he can eat safe food he seemingly pulled off a raw chicken.
Either that or the man has an immune system that medical researchers would really want to have a close look at.
@@annieworroll4373 Whatever the answer, I always find myself sufficiently sickened and horrified. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@annieworroll4373considering his multiple strokes I’m not sure he isn’t actually eating that stuff for real lol I think he is
"That was difficult" describes every one of Jack's lazyman dishes. Which you would assume defeats the purpose.
My mom made some sort of "stovetop lasagna" using mafaldine pasta. I think it was all the ingredients of lasagna, but served like spaghetti. But her technique was better than Jack's and it was pretty delicious haha.
Cooking with Jack videos start as if he is going to literally nail the cooking but then makes all the ancestors cry
😂
Ah, an Uncle Roger fan. This dish would make my Italian ancestors cry, and I don't have any. I used to live in ltaly, and I know good Italian cooking. This isn't it.
@@MegaFortinbras idk if he is being fr tho... Like even a child can tell that is a disaster
Is that you? Uncle Roger?
Hiyyyyaaaa
Thank you for uploading this today. I've been up all night puking and only slept two hours. Now I gotta watch both the kids. You long windedly tearing apart a Jack video is precisely what I needed to make this day better!
Hope you enjoyed it! 🤘
@@ChefBrianTsao most certainly!!!!
"longwindedly"......lmao, yep!
@@SkeleTonHammer ha!
3:37 I think the last time I used a processed pasta sauce was Ragu? That was probably like 20 years ago now for me lol
Classico Is My Favorite Brand
This is when Jack transforms into the lunch lady from the Simpsons :D
😂
Lunchlady Doris? Jack needs to cook gym mats and say "there's very little meat in these gym mats".
Such a fun video. Love your solo vids as well, but it's always great when you have another pro to bounce opinions off of. Great chemistry!
Glad you enjoyed it! More cool guests to come!
Your friend's cool and chill. Loved the colab.
And, yeah, I mean, that video from Jack is probably the best he's done. It's definitely 100% edible (not something you can say about most of his videos). I mean, I'd eat the hell out of it, for sure. But yeah... seems like it was baked ziti... of sorts.
Couldn't agree more
Of course it was edible there was no meat to undercook
Well he's saving money by not using any spices. So his dish is fast and cheap! lol
🤦♂️😂
I'm no professional chef, but I always have a high-rated recipe for reference. I may tinker with it a bit for personal taste, but I follow it as close as possible. My philosophy is you don't need to be an expert at everything you cook, but have a handful of meals you can cook really well.
I only remember one time doing this international food thing in school. Wasn't as diverse as you would think. Seeing as how EVERYONES PARENTS WERE MEXICAN. So we just had tons of Mexican food. Nothing wrong with that just kind of another day of eating home cooked food.
I love Jack's stare, when he tastes his dish... I always hear that modem-is-connecting sound (Beeeeeeeyuuuuuuuuu... pong ! pong !) dunring the half second period he stares in the void before saying "it's delicious !"
I've been waiting for you to discover the wonder of Jack's ability to invent cuisine.
😂
Please bring on Ed more. You guys are great
Love listening to you react alone but with a guest is a nice change of pace too. Great chemistry in this one would be cool to see him back on channel. Really enjoyed the one with your editor too!
Def more to come featuring Ed!
I would love to see actual, professional chefs like you and your friends, recreate Jack’s recipes and make them actually good.
I hate to admit that I made up a recipe in college that I've always called the "Poor Man's Lasagna", because you can get all the ingredients for about $15 and it'll feed you for a week. I have a fancier, more traditional recipe as well (most things are from scratch) that I make when I have guests. But I think my "Poor Man's Lasagna" might actually be even lazier than the one in the reaction lol. I sincerely apologize to anyone I'm about to offend with this recipe but here goes...
I heat up jarred pasta sauce, brown some ground beef and throw it in the sauce. Then I just make layers of the sauce, dried lasagna noodles, sliced Swiss cheese, dollops of cottage cheese (instead of ricotta) and bagged low moisture mozzarella. Throw all that in the oven, covered with tin foil for 40 mins. Then take the cover off and add more mozzarella on top and cook until it browns. It only takes about 15 minutes of prep and assembly.
If you don't have the time to prep a really good lasagna, it's surprisingly a lot better than something like Stouffer's or the other pre-made ones from the grocery store. But if you've got the time, definitely go with something a little more.... traditional. I apologize to everyone for releasing this sacrilegious recipe to world, but in a pinch it's a time and money saver!
Thanks for sharing!
I prefer cottage cheese too. Less filling.
As an Italian home cook, casserole type pastas do end up absorbing sauce over night, but I grew up with that not being a bad thing. Being an adult you lose some texture but gain letting your gravy meld into the pasta. Not saying that's good in a professional setting, it isn't at all, but at home? Man it's comfort the day after. That's real lazy Italian cooking.
Day after pasta is godly if it's made right the day of
What a wonderful collaboration!
Agreed! I was so glad Ed was able to make it on!
The worst lasagna goes to the women who cooks it in her dishwasher while washing dirty dishes. Seriously this happened.
What a delight to have Ed join you!
What an atrocity to review jack again! Get the brews ready
Hahaha
Putting hot food like that into the fridge might destroy the motor in your fridge. It'll be running overtime all night to get to 40.
In my family we'd call that a pasta bake. Definitely not lasagna.
That is absolutely a pasta bake
We call it baked ziti round these parts, although ziti kinda sucks. I like rigatoni or penne rigate for it.
Block cheese is not cheaper than shredded, and if it is it's by a few cents. Not twice the price. However, if you buy grated cheese, it won't melt like block cheese because of the anticaking agent they put in it.
I make a version of this in soup form. It's called Lasagna Soup. I put the cheese on top at the last minute, make my own sauce from our garden tomatoes, peppers, onions and garlic, all of which I smoke in the smoker. I can the sauce/meat part of it so all we have to do is cook the pasta (tried canning the soup with the pasta, but it turns to mush) - so much better fresh. Then we top with the cheese and we're good to go.
Does this version not look like way too much for a single class? You could feed the school with all that.
When I was a newly married wife who was working 40+hours a week and bringing work home and trying to raise kids. I because well versed in making a lot of fast meals for my family, I never made this, ever. My Italian step dad would have died of a heart attack if I did😂😂😂
So that meant we had Italian on the weekends when I could make a proper meal. We had leftovers into the week. Rest of the week we had whatever momma threw together. 😂
😂😂😂
Anyone who eats something with that much cheese in it would die of a heart attack too
So, Uncle Roger correctly stated when reviewing Jamie Oliver that when you make ramen, you need to use ramen noodles. To make lasagna, you need to use lasagna noodles. otherwise it's just pasta. Lasagna is built up in layers, not mulched together. it's baked. it has seasonings in it. This barely qualifies as pasta.
I feel like eating a microwave lasagna for lunch today at work. Think that would be an upgrade.
😂😂😂
There's stupid lazy and then there is working smart lazy. With no real change in effort this could be so much better looking and tasting.
Growing up one of my favorite dinners was something like this. We'd throw together white cheddar mac and cheese, ground beef, and spaghetti sauce. Then we'd cover it in cheddar cheese and bake it in the oven. We called it "poor man's lasagna."
We do something similar. Boxed mac n cheese, rotel tomatoes and drained ground beef. It costs under 5 bucks and feeds 4 to 6 people.
“The public is safe”
This must have been before he saw the chili episode.
Jack, Kay, tiktok cooks and iron wrath archive are the 4 horsemen of the foodpocalypse
And the one behind it all, Jamie Oliver lol
Jack likes to clean his oven the same way he cleans his toilet, with a power washer
When I was very young, Dad tried making crock pot lasagna. Clearly, the first step is to cook the noodles. So he left them in there for 24 hours and then ditched the idea when he found grey mush the next day. Porridge has more texture and color than that did.
😂
Oh. Oh no.
The worst lasagna on earth, is the one that woman made in the dish washer, with the recycled spaghetti sauce. That should be considered a crime against humanity.
MORE COOKING WITH JACK REACTIONS‼️‼️
Def more to come!
Ed is hilarious dude. I
Love your guest man! After I ran out of Uncle Roger videos I really started hitting these ones. Definitely good content, thanks Chef!!
Hey Chef, as a sandwich pro, you should review some of Jeff Mauro's recipes. He had a show called Sandwich King, after all!
I'm almost halfway through this and....as an Italian I'm MORTIFIED at what I'm seeing. I'm no pro chef, but I know my Italian cuisine. He's making BAKED ZITI that freaking looks like penne vodka!!! And his kitchen looks like something out of Blue's Clues! Uggggh, can't WAIT to see how this ends😩🙄
I'll be honest....the chef was too nice, we needed a more savage chef for Jack's 'cooking'
😂
Like Frenchie? 🤣
Just found your channel. Loving the videos man! Keep em coming!
The whole point of lasagna is the distinct layers and that it gets baked, at least do one of those two things, ideally both. This is not lazy mans lasagna, this is crazy mans lasagna.
LOL 😂
"It's like wiping your ass, then taking a shit."
Might be the fucking best statement for something doing something just fucking backasswards.
His lazy man tacos are hilarious. It's just nachos haha.
🤦♂️
I mean, that's literally the definition of lazy cuisine. Just pile the ingredients into a bowl. And mix it together. It's definitely not "nachos" or "lasagna" because these dishes have their own names but it's all the same ingredients.
everyone´s safe? the public is safe? did you not hear him say he made this for his son´s school class? also looking at the church chili i highly doubt the public considers itself "safe"
The teacher hopefully "knows" about Jack's cooking and set it aside/tossed it before anyone ate any
I'm confused. Lasagna are sheets of pasta, those are Pene. And Maccaroni are small tubes. Also if you want to make Lasagna, you need the meet to better solidify everything. Vegetarian lasagna will not hold as well.
Careful, the pasta is penne. “Pene” means p_nis
Hey Chef Brian it was great to finally meet you. Hopefully you check out more of the Ocky Way Tic Toc’s. And Masterchef Australia Reynold aka the Desert King.
I love your videos💗 I find them very funny and entertaining
Thank YOU for tuning in! 🙏
Found you through these videos, glad to see another one!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
You should definitely check out his enchilada video, it's the pinnacle of cheese
🤦♂️
I love this format, this would be a great way to get the spotlight on other creators and experts.
1000% more guests to come!
We are waiting!!! Glad you include Uncle Roger in your videos since he got cancelled!
It would be cool if you re-create the awful dishes exactly and taste them on your vlog to further analyze them better!
I think that would be comedy gold!
Like Brian said, this could be a good dish with these ingredients and a couple more if cooked properly.
Definitely!
5:00 - 7:00 I’m glad you had the guest chef explain their background. From 5:00 and earlier he gave me the impression of an experienced amateur chef. When you had him explain his track record a bit more in depth I really had more respect for his insight due to experience.
I love watching professional chefs over-analyzing Jack's recipes 😂😂😂
A lot more to come 😂
This video was great. I like how Ed's dry take (presumably from confusion) paired with your willingness to dive into the marvel of ineptness that is "Cooking with Jack." Thanks for the laughs.
*I can feel Italian people screaming internally*
😂
Great dish that respects his "heritage," so educational!
This dish is an embarrassment to his "heritage"
The lazy man series is about him being lazy not his dishwasher
I googled Jack’s name to watch some of his bad cooking, and I came across a list of his controversies. He’s done and said some terrible things.
What though? I have heard people mention him being a POS a lot, but they don't explain.
@@SehrDummerAccountNam I haven't looked into him too much, but he did accuse his church congregation of cheating at a chili cookoff because he lost. Not the most egregious thing, but definitely sets a tone.
@@SehrDummerAccountNamstrangled his son until his nose bled
How to cook like Jack: under-season or over-season everything, always undercook your dishes, and add way too much cheese.
I'm confused how this isn't just a pasta meal, rather than specifically lasagne
Edit after watching the video:
That's basically what we call in the UK a pasta bake. Pasta with extra cheese on top grilled in the oven 🤷
Let’s be honest, No one is safe from Jack. Whenever there’s a family event or any sort of event where he cooks everyone is doomed. But Ed was a great addition for this episode! Would love to see more episodes from him, especially seeing the monstrosities of Jacks Cooking and how he developed his signature Iron Gut
That squelching audio of him dumping that monstrosity into the serving tray is reminiscent to that of fisting a jar of mayonnaise.
This Made My Day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ed's reactions were priceless.
Still cracks me up 😂
Jack: "Whew, that was difficult..."
Me: "Yeah, to watch!!"
Bring Ed back and get him to react to Kay's Cooking! 😂
Def gonna have him back and I think that’s a GREAT idea!
Jack seems like a pretty good dude who should never, ever be allowed anywhere near a kitchen.
Nope he’s actually a huge asshole. Look it up his name’s Jack Scalfani.
While funny to rip good ol' Jack, over the years I learned how cooking itself is not something that comes natural, some things make no sense or just flat out work out of the norm: you need to be teach on how to cook at the end of the day, even simple things. Jack's problem is how he never, ever move from square one even when info of cooking is far more accessible nowdays and after clearly getting a stroke for his horrible food.
Im not a fan of reaction channels but this one is tame, not fake and overhype, keep the good work.
Thank you so much! 🙏 I appreciate you tuning in!
Not sure if Jack is from there originally but in his older videos he lived in California. He moved to Tennessee at some point, that's where he lives now.
That looks more like a pasta salad than a lasagna. As far as easy lasagna goes, Joshua Weissman has my go to recipe. Its simple, inexpensive and delicious.
I want to know how many kids were in that class. Man made enough food to feed a small army. But on another note, I really enjoy you doing reacts with guests!
Thank you! 🙏
