**RECIPE FROM BEN**
.5 Lbs bacon
About 2 cups of diced aromatic veggies. Whatever you want. I used: shallots, fennel and carrots. You could probably do apples, other root veggies, garlic, onion. Empty out the fridge.
A few of cut up mushrooms
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs dredged in flour
1 beer. A lager or a brown ale.
1 recipe of buttermilk biscuits: • Buttermilk Biscuits, w...
Herbs that you like. I do a few sprigs of thyme, generally, or maybe sage
Chop the bacon up and cook it off in the bottom of a dutch oven. When it’s crispy, remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon and set it aside.
In the hot bacon fat, brown the chicken thighs on both sides. You don’t need to cook them through, just get some brown on them. Set them aside as well.
Assess how much fat is in the bottom of the pan. I often remove about half so my dinner isn’t greasy.
Add the chopped up veggies to the fat and let them brown up and soften.
Add your mushrooms and let them cook a bit. Once they have softened a bit, put the bacon and chicken back in the pot with their juices. This would be a good time to season your stew, so add salt, pepper and whatever other herbs/spices. This is a good time to preheat your oven to 450°.
Pour in your beer. You’re looking to just cover the contents of the pot, so if one beer isn’t enough, fill the can with water and add water until there’s enough liquid. Bring it to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer to reduce it a bit.
Make biscuit dough and cut out biscuits. Keep them in the fridge until the stew is ready. Melt some butter with herbs and pepper in a small pan.
After about 30 or 40 minutes of simmering, the stew should be somewhat thickened and reduced. Float the uncooked biscuits on top of the broth. Brush the top with the herbed melted butter, and put the entire pot into your oven. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits are nice and brown on top.
Serve with more of that beer! - Навчання та стиль

Adam: People who eat spicy food are not more manly
Also Adam: Look at this baby cry at the onion
You actually get used to chopped onions and their chemical warfare.
Gat I’ve actually never cried while cutting onions lol.
@@jmandoeskarate4456 Different people act differently to chemical warfare.
@@oneblacksun Chemical warfare? Did an army attack a camp by having ninjas sneak in and cut a fuck ton of onions?
What qualifies for being “manly” and a bit of ribbing amongst friends are two very different matters.
He's to tall?
Just make him eat shortening, sheesh Adam. It's not that hard.
chey I’m glad this is at the top where it belongs
I am too
hi dad
So that's why me and my father are shorter than most girls in my high school.
I am too, drinking a gallon of shortening every week there for, I am 2 feet tall as of this reply.

I bet Adam's version would have used white wine instead of beer.
i already have white wine so might as well

He’s crying because his knives are dull

For real though, if you have a sharp knife and you cut onions it wont hurt your eyes at least i think so
@@viccapule487 I have an extremely sharp knife, still cried. I'm just bad at cooking lol
@@viccapule487 Actually you cry when you cut against the grain (from root to top). You can tell that the cells are aligned that way via the 'veins'. If you cut top to bottom, you're splitting fewer cells open, so less of the internal liquids gets aerosolized.
@@Ironeyes I didn't get it like where should you cut it from
i like to see how you are always trying a lot of new things, because usually when people start making any kind of success they tend to stick to a formula or something. i admire you and the way you do things organically, always experimenting new video formats and everything.
keep on cooking, friend. we're loving it.

Didn’t take a sip when he opened the beer. Is your friend a cop? He seems like a cop.

I think cause the beer is light af
One beer for you, one beer for stew.

Which video
Eriq Valdivia the first one from like 10 years ago
I made this for my girlfriend and I last fall, and she loved it so much, she "forced" me to make it again for Thanksgiving. I then told my mom about it and linked her to this video, and she's made it twice herself since as well. Definitely a big hit with my family! I randomly started thinking about it again, and even though it's 85 degrees right now.... I think i'm gonna go ahead and make it again anyway!
I think this is the first time I've actually seen Ben's face. Until now he's just been a floating voice making jokes about Star Trek.

"Isn't that the most California looking light you've ever seen" -- Adam
I've never seen someone roast light before. First time for everything I guess.
i don't think he was roasting the light. He's just saying that the light is easily associated with california, where his friend lives
Pretty sure he was complimenting the light, not roasting it.
Felt more like a compliment
@@Someone-ps6be nah, calling something related to california is definitely roasting it
Is he really your friend when he isnt using a single drop of white wine in his recipe ?
I put tears in the recipe
Shh, Jk
i watch his food whenever i'm hungry and eating junk food, it makes me feel like i'm eating like a king
haha i do that

"Adam only using white wine in his recipes"
Adam: "Ill show them! ILL SHOW THEM ALL"
Alpha Pax it’s funny because the one recipe which isn’t adam doesn’t have white wine
I just spent a couple of hours making this dish and it is absolutely amazing! It was very well worth the time. I down sized the ingredients slightly and made it in a 10inch cast iron and it is amazing. Thank you to the both of you for sharing.
This recipe looks amazing. I'm so glad you narrated the episode. Without your voice, it wouldn't have felt like a Ragusea video at all. Even if you're not in the video, this feels 100% like a Ragusea video, minus the difference in lighting but I can stomach that, no biggie.
I was about to say “congratulations on getting a gas stove” but then
It's 2 AM on a school night yet I'm here for this when I don't even cook.
I SENSE AN ASEAN
lol same
Hey I know it’s been 4 years but I hope your doing well
Gosh the meeting of MaxFun and Adam Ragusea content is sending me.
It’s the Greatest Generation crossover episode everyone has been waiting for. Amazing!!
It’s because of your black table. It “absorbs” the light:)
never thought of that. makes sense.
absorb*
Black literally absorbs light
Dude is drinking a Hamms with his meal. My kinda guy.
I love Hamms. It’s better than most other beers of its variety, and only costs $0.40 a can where I live!

Adam! I was so skeptical about this vide. Watched it, kept feeling you know... “WTH” ... but, I must confess, the next day, I bought everything and I made it following your video. Darn, it was so good, that before cleaning the dishes later, I took some pita to “clean” the pot!
You, sir, have “changed” me forever on my stewing ! Thanks, keep this going!
Every single vid you put out Adam is well worth the watch. Keep doing what you're doing! I'd love to see some more seasonal specific recipes like this.
Just saying, finding out you are also friends with people / a fan of Maximum Fun content is the most incredible thing in the world to me. Props to you Adam for posting and sharing such wholesome content. Small world, too.
Thank you, both of you. This video was full of nice little tips to help up my chicken stew game.
Comes home to see this

i love to hear this man talk. its so freakin relaxing
Tried this yesterday, minus the biscuits, and it turned out delicious. Even better after a day in the fridge! For veggies, I used carrots, lots of onion, garlic, and eggplant. For beer, I picked up a heineken. Yum! Thank you!
Tried doing this today, turned out wonderful. Thank you!
Reminds me of how we made beef stew when I was a kid. We'd crack open a few cans of Dinty Moore, pour them into the dutch oven, and then put a layer of (probably) Pillsbury biscuits over the top. One of my favorite meals as a kid. Might have to try this (maybe try a version with beef instead of chicken) and see how much it sends me back.
Adam: beer chicke-
White wine: IM I A JOKE TO YOU!!!
Huh this funny
Funny enough I made your pot pie recipe with a biscuit topping yesterday as opposed to a pie crust.
Good stuff!
Why do I get so happy when I see these in my recommended
4:05 So, use beer, then dilute with water.
In other words: Tecate.
“Aging Indi-Rock Icon...”. That’s priceless. I actually found your channel through those podcasts. Very fun.
I'm 19 and just now needing to learn to cook. and you sir are a godsend and everything I know about cooking as come from you!
3:47 I feel like something else should be used here but I can't put my finger on it
Hmm 🤔
Does it rime with light line?

Does it rhyme with fight crime?

I've made this at least 5 times now and each time it has been delicious. Also a great way to use up whatever veggies you might have, it's incredibly adaptable and forgiving.
Isnt all the stews usually are forgiving and a great way to use the vegies you have.
Did not expect to see a cameo mention of Bean Dad in my re-watch of older Adam videos but here we are. 6:33
yknow i usually think a "favorite food" is a dumb thing. But i have consistently loved this stew with every fiber of my being. This is my all time favorite food ever.
I love you Adam! Watching thus video while eating your recipe for brown chicken risotto! Can’t wait to try this one!
"Thanks Ben for the recipe and stop being so tall"
It's so great to see a collaboration between you and Ben. 😁
Oops I totally forgot, thanks Ben for this excellent recipe, and great pro lighting LOL!
Oh man, just made this, and I have to admit I was skeptical about "steaming" biscuits - and also my ability to make biscuits, because I've never done so before. But they turned out freaking fantastic! They still had a nice crunch on top, but were deliciously tender underneath. And, like you, I didn't pour off any bacon fat, figuring it would get sopped up by the biscuits, and how could that be a bad thing? I'm going to stick by that theory because I feel like I have now adequately put on a Personal Winter Insulation Layer® of butter and bacon fat with one meal. That was great, thanks!
An Adam video I haven’t seen today will be a good day
I've tried this recipe, and I'll never understand why anyone would want soggy bottom biscuits. I'd rather just bake mine on the side and dip them in the stew as I go.
Peng photography skills Adam and editing is smooth asf keep it up
This is absolutely fantastic on a good cold day
When he said "Fry them thighs in that there bacon grease" I imagined a Sling Blade type voice! 😂😂💯💯
I just discovered your channel around two days ago and have never been so happy.
I'm definitely going to convert this into a "meal-in-a-jar" recipe (pressure canning). Crack open a jar, add biscuits, bake for half and hour, and *voilà!* ; a delicious hearty dinner.
Having seen that very bag in my own kitchen, he used Bob's Red Mill Pastry Flour for his biscuits. It's between AP and cake flour in gluten content and is unbleached (unlike cake flour).
I like your footage Adam!
This Great Gen / Goose Video crossover content is really starting to melt my brain
Having seen The Greatest Generation live, I can confirm that Ben Harrison is indeed freakishly tall. Dude had to bend down a bit to get into the picture I got with he and Adam Pranica.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
This looks amazing, must try!
Great video as always !! I've been researching differences between stock and broth lately and can't seem to find any videos on the topic. Would love to see a stock vs. broth video from you in the future since I'm sure I'm not the only one who is looking for answers !
My mum made this at my recommendation after seeing the video, cannot understate how fantastic it was
My german heart is bleeding when seeing Lager in a can. But the recipe is still going straight to my great meals for winter list
Hahaha did he really just cook with the Brooklyn lager and then drink a freaking Hamm’s 😂😂😂
Adam roasting his friend Ben is the best part of this video.
I was thinking you'd do something like a pecan pie, but I'm not disappointed
The ultimate crossover video!
Looks incredibly delicious. Sad it's summer here and hot weather calls for fresher recipes.
I like Ben's house-plants. Also I like this format.
This worked pretty well with hard cider as a happy medium between beer and apple juice.
Another great video! Long live the Empire!
Wow, just learned 3 useful things watching this video:
1. Cut bacon strips lengthwise first to make cubes instead of long rectangles (can’t believe I never thought of this)
2. Use shears to cut up meat inside pot
3. Use a measuring scoop as a makeshift cookie cutter
Adam is “that short friend” ifykyk
Just blew my mind that you were involved in greatest gen
Working my way forwards on Greatest Gen and backwards (somewhat) on Ragusea. Heard Ben talking about this video on an episode I listened to a few days back.
Oh I needed this
And here i imagined that Adam and Ben cooked by firing a hand phaser at a pot of spaghetti ...
I could totally see him in one of those cooking shows
I just made this. It was excellent. I used onions and garlic with it. It was great
Roast got whole new meaning in this video.
6:12 My Dawg is pouring himself a Hamm's!! You don't see those too often these days. Top 3 EZ-Drank American Beers right there. Props to ya bud.
What size dutch oven is Ben using here? It looks like 5 quarts, but I could be wrong.
Why I roast my friends, not my meat.
What kind of beer should i use? I dont live in america and im not sure if they sell lager where i live
this video is 10 percent recipe of how to make the stew itself and 100 percent Adam ranting about Ben's stature
who knew a cooking channel would have a fandom with so many memes
Old ass video but for anyone feeling nice and lazy, this recipe works amazingly well with pilsbury biscuits in a tube.
Indeed it does!
Next up, "Why I cook my cutting board and NOT my steak"
I need this in my life.
Was that John Roderick from The Long Winters who performed the song "It's a Departure" on the album "Putting the days to bed"?
The kind of title only on Ragusea's videos, strangely intriguing and surprisingly appetizing.
this guy is the vsauce of cooking
As a bit of a Chinese / Vietnamese twist, try this recipe but with some chinese 5 spice. It totally brings it to a new and unique level.
Chinese 5 spice in a hearty American western, Russian, or French Onion soup or stew is something sooooo worth trying.
I love these home dishes that have no official name.
