 Hello and welcome! Today I'm going to be showing you how to make a chile verde lasagna and if you guys like my green enchiladas, my chile verde enchiladas, you're going to love this lasagna. And also we're getting a lot of good feedback on that corn lasagna. You guys tried it? It was delicious. Did you like it? Yeah I've been getting a lot of messages about that so I'll make sure to link that particular recipe in the description area and also at the end of the video if you guys want to give it a go. But for now let's go ahead and get started on making a quick and easy lasagna. Before we begin with anything I want you guys to go ahead and start your oven at 380 degrees. We need it nice and warm so that this lasagna is ready like that. The other thing is that I've already pre-roasted our chiles, okay? And I've cooked my lasagna. Those are super easy and for my lasagna I just follow whatever box I'm using today and usually always burrilla. It always delivers a great flavor. It's kind of difficult sometimes to get a flavor out of your pasta but I think burrilla does an excellent job. So thank you burrilla. And what else? Yeah, do I need to say anything else? Yes I did. Yes I did. She's not in her head. No, yes I did. Let me tell you guys when you're roasting your pepper and you're peeling the roasted part off, if you're coughing because it's spicy, it's likely that your chile is going to be spicy. So move that one to the side. If you don't like the spice but if you like it go ahead and add it and let's get ready to blend. So let's go ahead and add our chiles. We're going to add our cilantro and the cilantro is to taste. If you don't like it you don't need to have it. You know we have for our family dinner today we have a family member that has a tomatillo allergy so that's why I'm not going to be adding it to this recipe but make sure to look in the description area so that you guys see my recommendation for you guys and if you're not going to be using tomatillo and you need some of that sour delicious taste go ahead and add about three tablespoons of sour cream to your blend and it's going to be perfect. Where are we at? Oh wow. One cup of water. I'm going to go ahead and add my chopped onions. Gotta sneak those onions in there. Some folks don't like them so if your family doesn't like them sneak them and blend them and you're going to be okay but if they like the onion crunch into them you can just saute them. Where are my dropping onions everywhere? No my my child's down there sniffing around. Boo boo you're sniffing. So ready for this? One, two, three, four. With this blender you get the consistency you want. You just want all the flavors blended and if you have a little cilantro we're going to blend it slightly but let me show you guys a little consistency I have going on. It's kind of like baby foodish. It's okay if it's a little thick. You want that. Oh that smells delicious. Now we're set with our sauce. Let's head on over to our burner so that we can get this sauce started and then we're going to build our delicious chile verde lasagna. Yeah hot pan hot pan. We're back to a hot pan. It's on medium heat. You want to drizzle a little bit of oil. I mean you guys know how much oil your pan needs because I know that I had some pans a while back that I would put like maybe two pounds of oil and nothing. Everything would get stuck. It didn't work so you guys know what that drizzle means. I'm going to go ahead and start with my garlic just a little bit. We just want to infuse that flavor in the oil. Get that nice aroma from the garlics. Okay we won't be here too long because you know how easily garlic burns. For some reason I've been having really large garlics. What about you? I'm trying to think if garlics is plural or if it's singular. I think it's just garlic. Garlic? You know how you say no? Well garlic because I buy a bag of garlics so it's just garlic. I think it's just garlic. Really? All right. You learned something new? I think there's garlic cloves. I think cloves is what's plural. Oh because they're I don't know. All right. I've been having large garlic. Garlic bulb? Yeah that's what they're called. That's why I'm wrecking my brain over here. Can you see me? I'm like how do you see those how do you see the thing where they're all together? Girl you should have been a linguist. You're really good with that. I can use a little bit of your language. No I'm just obsessed with knowing different ways of saying things. That's a good thing. Uh huh. All right friends now that we have our garlic in order go ahead and add that sauce we blended okay. Careful. Talks back. Looks like our teenager. Yep it does. I'm going to go ahead and put a little water in my blender so that that way I can keep all that delicious sauce. Your butters? Okay so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to add my butters and add my butter and I'm going to add my heavy whipping cream. Can you make this with half and half? Yes. Can you make it with milk? Yes the only difference is that it's going to be a little bit runnier and I like this because it gives me a nice creamy texture and oh it gets thick quick. All right I had to lower my heat so it wouldn't pop on you honey. Thank you so much. We know what a crybaby I am. I don't think you are. With this kind of stuff I am a crybaby. You always take really good care of me so the least I can do is have this not pop on you. I run when I see things popping. Our mom used to get so mad at me growing up because it would run. Like I'd put something in the oil and I would run she's like where are you going? I'm like the oil. I've never been scared of the oil. She's like where are you going? I was more scared of my mother than the oil girl. Not me man the oil scared me. So now what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and add our chicken bullion. If you're not using chicken use your favorite bullion or adjust it with salt. It should work. Yeah look at that nice little butter floating around. Makes me happy. It makes me happy too. I love butter. We may be a little tired guys sorry we stayed up watching Ozark. Yeah I had started and I didn't finish it so that's what we're doing since I already finished Schitt's Creek which is one of my favorite shows. That's a fun show. Yeah it is. I took a break from reading so that's why Ozark it is. Ozark is going great. All right friends so we're going to do now we're going to go ahead and put a lid on our sauce and we're going to let it cook for about eight to ten minutes just till it thickens up for us and I'll come and show you in just a moment. I'm saving it for later. There you go thank you. I've never had anyone pick my teeth before thank you. Well I have a habit of taking people's teeth. You're a mom. People that I love. Yeah you do. All right friends I just turned this burner off and you can see that it's just thickening so wonderfully. Okay so it'll take you about eight to ten minutes and now that we have this set let's head on over to assemble our lasagna. Oh you don't want to dance okay. Oh you're in a really good mood today. You're wearing your hoops. Yes I'm in better spirits. You're ready to cook. All right so let's go ahead and grab a little bit of our chile verde. I should say salsa de chile verde right. Make sure you spread it all on the bottom. You know one thing that I haven't made on the channel is a regular lasagna because I really you know I'm not traditional about it yeah but it's better than the frozen ones and that's kind of what I try to go for. Now we're gonna layer in our lasagna sheets. They do have the no-cook lasagna sheets but I've tried those. I really like these because I really love the garfield curl on the side. Is that what that's called? Well I associated it with garfield and friends okay. Garfield, garfield, the cat. Yeah oh nice. I've already established that I like cartoons. Pour some more sauce and heat glue. That was such a cartoon junkie when I was younger. I did more cartoon watching than reading which I was the opposite. Okay and I know you guys love the rotisserie chicken. It's super easy to get a hold of or tenderloins. They get cooked in like what 10 minutes. I was gonna say two seconds but now about 10 minutes so that's what I used. I used some tenderloins and I chopped them up real fine. But if you guys have that rotisserie chicken that's like five bucks for a whole chicken go ahead and use that. Nice shortcut. Yeah yeah yeah. I think that's what my meals have been all week honey. If you don't like chicken, skip the chicken. This is good especially now that school's back you know. Yeah this one's an easy one. Just put it in the freezer and then when you're ready. Call ahead a teenager to defrost it. Good luck if they remember. Teenagers don't want to do anything. Teenagers watching do something. Do something. Maybe it's just my teenagers and my suegra. Maybe I'm the one with the problem. No girl you're not. My ex suegra. Okay so now what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and add some more sauce to the top. I'm so happy I came over today. Yes yes yes. Well one don't I ever come in but. Well you're over to help but today you get to be not over me a little bit. There you go. Thanks sis. I appreciate your support. I love you. So let's layer another. I love you too sis. Layer another one. Is that pepper on there on the sheath? No girl these are I roasted the chiles and when I roast the chiles it ends up on my hood that I have to clean up and yeah everything sticks to my stove area for some reason. Okay it smells savory and tangy at the same time right now like the what's in the air and the chiles but I could smell a little bit of that because I know what it tastes like. Uh-huh. I could smell the tanginess so full of flea. Yes yes yes. Well I didn't add the tomatillos obviously because Papa's allergic but also the last ones we had were super tart. I had somebody in the comments tell me how tart they were. Like it was really acidic so this is a good little recipe. You can always grow your own that's the best way. Yeah but not when you have a family member that comes and uses your yard to play soccer. I guess that would defeat the purpose. Oh I love having him over. He's the best. So for the cheese friends if you don't have a white cheese which is normally what's used for this I would say go ahead and use it because I use a lot of that Costco Mexican blend that works for this. Make it comfortable for your home. Don't feel pressured sometimes you just got to get a recipe out feed your family and let me tell you the cheese they're not going to cry about it. I think it's more of the adults that cry about it. Yep you can still put love into it right? Yeah. Is that what you're saying? Yeah yeah yeah. Some more delicious sauce. I know when you're cooking and you're probably like you don't need that much sauce. Well if you're watching your calories obviously you don't need that much but nobody here's watching. I'm not I told you guys I'm probably gonna be gaining that weight I lost back or not my body's really content with what I'm doing. That cucumber water is what we're drinking right now without fail. Pretty much every single day I switch it up a little bit but I have a combo that has a little bit of sugar but it's so good. If you like an Tojitos Mexicanos let me know in the comments and I'll make the recipe. Actually I am going to make the recipe for you guys. It's so good. Yeah. All right ready? Sausage. I like making this one because my mom uh she gets really bad heartburn when I use like red sauce like the pasta sauce. She gets really bad heartburn so I know she'll enjoy this one. It makes me happy. You're such a good daughter. I try to be. You are. Grandma was so sweet. She helped me uh try and reorganize my kitchen and my living space for the holidays but good lord girl. She's such a cutie. She is. She tries. She tries so hard. I can't find certain things so I'm a little bit everywhere. That's okay. I appreciate her help. Shout out to you mom. I'll let her know because she's not watching this. One day. All right. One more layer. Oh I didn't put sauce in that little pot. My bad. You guys always forget like when I do then she loves. Some of them get the sauce inside. Some of them don't. You're like you forgot the sauce. Something I know was talking to you. We have a friend in the comments that always reminds us to add sauce. Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Or my ingredients. My friends that helped me. You forgot to add this or that. I'm like thanks. You guys know how much my kids work me. They sure do. Girl they're not happy with me right now. Why? Because of your hair color? I was like I get ready. They're like oh your lips though whenever I wear bright lips they're happy and I thought maybe I could counterbalance. My kids are not happy and I was like telling my sister I think I know why they're like being so machibious. Is that how you pronounce the word? Machibious. Yeah. I have such a horrible pronunciation for my English words. I'm sorry guys but they have been hassling me. I'm going I was going through my like my stuff that I was going through and I'm like you know what Claude it's because I don't have my bright colorful wrestler hair. I miss your hair too. Do you? I like this one. I like this one too but I like bright hair. This one's fun. I just need a little bit of a break for my hair. Okay? Yes. So now let's go ahead and add the remainder of our sauce. You want to need a spatula but no. Yeah you're heating me up. Yes I'm so hungry. That's a good thing. I like making you hungry. That means you enjoy. Actually you're the human being that you and Bebe enjoy all my food and then Punky's been doing so well with enjoying food. He has. Yeah he's like hi mama what are you making today when he's being a brown-ozer. I love it. All right let's add the remainder of our cheese. We all love that bubbly bubbly on the top. You know when I say bubbly bubbly what it reminds me of? What? Champagne? No. It reminds me of when uh Punky uh was doing some tutoring stuff. Do you remember what happened? I should tell you guys a story right now when I put this in the oven I'm going to tell you guys okay so if you guys want to hear it make sure to pay attention. I'm out of panko crumbs but I thought that this would be great because it's corn you know so I'm gonna be using uh corn flakes crumbs. Do you have a corn flakes just throw in the blender? Same thing and I mixed it with a little bit of cotija. Oh good call. If you don't have cotija go ahead and use parmesan. This will give it a good color too. Yeah that means I have to go back to the Korean market that's where I usually get it. Um unless we have a good link on amazon do we? Mm-hmm. Then that's what I'm gonna do. I don't gotta go anywhere. That's a that's a that's a thing like when you have everything in your house you don't need to go anywhere. The convenience. Yep. Although I'm trying to get you on that cake where you order your food online and go pick it up. Oh like what like what? Like my face. My face. The cart type stuff you know. Oh at the grocery store? Mm-hmm girl. I'll convince you don't you worry. I don't know I maybe go in there and like take notes and spy on the kids the teenagers that are putting the groceries and you know how to pick the groceries. They're pretty decent. I'm pretty sure that they put them through whole training. Yeah. All right friends now that this is ready it's gonna go ahead and go into the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes. As soon as this is bubbling it's cooked because everything's already pre-cooked here we just need it all to get warmed up and marry each other and just want to stick together. Kind of like us. So I'm gonna go ahead and put in the oven and then I'll come back and share that story with you. While our lasagna is baking let me tell you guys this story about my little punky. He's not so little anymore but I have had him in tutoring for years right? So in this particular day my sister decided to help me out and take him to his tutoring session because you know I had had it. It was rough for you. It was rough for me during that time it was so difficult. I was like bouncing here there at therapies and all these things. So she takes him to tutoring and turns out that with the tutor he's telling telling her miss so-and-so oh like she's teaching her what letter was she teaching? She said um she was teaching him the letter p and he had to draw something that started with the letter p and so she said maybe like a little piggy bio and so he started to draw the pig and then he put a squiggly squiggly instead of the male private part he said the other p part the p word that can't say on here but you guys can think about a squiggly squiggly you know so my sister turns and she's like what did you say club? I said um miss whatever her name was I don't want to say it right yeah because of confidentiality but I said mrs. Kay um I assure you I know nothing about where he saw a squiggly squiggly penis I think I said maybe you should bring this up with my sister I said but I'll relay the message and I was bright red I was dying so I said oh I need to use the restroom maybe excuse for a quick second girl I laughed so hard in the bathroom he really said like a squiggly and we're thinking oh he's gonna say squiggly tail but no so I came home and I was like hey Steph is there something that you need to tell me like is that your husband have any kind of issues or not at all I just want to clarify that out there but when my sister I was so embarrassed like why did he say that and I asked him he's like yeah mom like a squiggly squiggly I'm like what like what in the world I think he might have been like three and a half right he was like three and a half or four somewhere in between there and you guys I was so embarrassed the good thing is that his tutor was super chill super fun really nice lady and um yeah that's he used to push her buttons man remember when he didn't want to do math and he would say okay mr and then her name mr k he would say that and I would just be so embarrassed because here I am like going out of my my day and she's just getting off of work enough to meet us to tutor my my children so it's I don't know some of you guys remember me talking me talking about taking them to tutoring and all that so but she was amazing she was so patient and she would even give us greeting cards and she would make joke out of like the squiggly pig yeah for holidays and things like that it became the joke but the squiggly squiggly pee I think I came to the conclusion that he thought maybe that was the pigs private area the tail because it was so little maybe he thought well I have one so maybe this is the pigs let's hope but that's that story now um I think let's go check on that lasagna sounds good yeah you ready I'm gonna be scooping it out ready now I'm gonna be scooping it out we are ready so let me go ahead and be my own the Steffy scissor hands shout out to all my ladies named Stephanie I'm seeing a lot of you on the channel it's a popular name especially the ones I like to be called Steffy because someone doesn't let me call them Steffy because it reminds me of a dog that I adopted a girl okay okay okay why are you bringing these things up I'm doing good Steffy's gonna let this lasagna sit but I told her that she had to taste it for us yes I have to taste it for you guys you ready ooh yeah that's good let's scoop this one out for you honey well obviously it's gonna be a little messy because it's gonna be for you I wanted to take care of you today and feed you I wish you would stop feeding me not happening it's it's full season everybody's eating that's all I was trying to get you guys to lose a few pounds so that way you don't feel guilty when it's time because you can plump you up apparently my size looks bigger but then it all means fork about to go buy another set of forks they're missing in action yeah they're always missing what you're doing I'm putting some of the addiction in here that chili oil is everything yes friends claud and I are doing our homework so that we can get this to a store near you let's see let's try this for those of you that don't like to watch me eat I appreciate you coming in here and watching this recipe and on that one I'll see you on the next one bye you like that I do though one half yeah because you're ready to eat yes it's hot but I'm not playing around I couldn't help but know what is that deep fire over there um yeah I'm tired of cleaning my range and all the oil splatter everywhere you guys have seen on the videos but I was thinking more for my selfish needs like some hot chicken with my oil yes make the oil guys wow girl I've never had it like this let's take another bite oh that's a really good balance I haven't had our green lasagna with that chili oil before heaven I'm in heaven all right you guys like this one make sure to check out that Mexican corn lasagna we did because it is to die for hmm Mica put the camera down you got to you got to taste yours all right bye guys bye
