How To Cook(e) with Bill Cooke

Where the Hamburger actually started maybe up for debate but where the Cheeseburger started is not! SoCal can claim this honor (sorry Kentucky, 10 years too late). This is the burger we all think of when we think cheeseburger and this is how it all started. Sit back and enjoy the ride down memory lane as I recreate the legendary SoCal Cheeseburger. Enjoy!

I have spent 25 years or more learning how to make great pizza. This is my best "at home pizza" recipe yet. The 321 recipe is about the proper ratio of flour, water and yeast. If you follow this formula you will get great results, every time! Top your pizza however you like but I made a supreme pizza to show that style. Plain cheese is a crowd favorite and anything in between, its up to you!

I grew up on cracker crust style thin pizza. It was the greatest thing ever for a small child who knew nothing else. There is a LOT of great pizza but that one that brings back those memories will always be your favorite. Big O To Go Pizza in Mission Viejo was that pizza! I say was, they have now closed after just 46 short years in business. Nothing lasts forever but as long as we keep making this pizza their memory lives on! Go ahead, make the pie, share it with someone you love and hold them tight. We never know when it will be our last time, eating this pizza of course. What did you think I meant? Kind of morbid for a pizza video, geez! Anyways, Enjoy!

If you can't get to an Original Tommy's to try theirs, try this one. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy! Please share, subscribe and hit the like button if you enjoyed this episode.

The year was 1984 and Taco Bell just released its newest menu item. It would not stick around long but not because people didn't like it. It was a huge hit! Legal made them pull it off the menu and never speak of it again. Why? You'll have to watch the whole video to find out. Enjoy!

Taco Bell put up a poll to see which item you wanted to return to the menu. The Double Decker Tacos or the Enchirito. You picked the Enchirito, obviously. But what about the taco? Does it not deserve a chance to shine? I sure think so and that's why I made this video. This thing is so easy to make and really delicious so here is how you can make one too. Enjoy!

If you are old enough to remember the old Jack in the Box Burrito, congratulations! You're officially old! With age comes wisdom and knowledge. Remembering this amazing classic Jack in the Box menu item is definitely worth a few wrinkles! These things were (are) amazing and it is long past time for them to be brought back. I spent weeks and months going over any old records I could find to figure out how these were made back then. This is the best recipe available to date for how they were made. It's not hard and they really are worth all the work. I hope you will make these, even if you never had the original. Enjoy! Jacks Taco Meat 1 cup Cold Water 2 tbsp Oat Flour (finely ground quick or steel cut oats) 2 tbsp Tomato Paste 1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tbsp Chili Powder 1 tbsp Maseca Corn Four 1 tbsp AP Four 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Ac'cent Seasoning (or other brand of msg) 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce 1 tsp Sugar 1 tsp Ground Cumin A dash of Black Pepper A dash of Cayenne Pepper Squeeze of fresh lime juice (or dash of powdered citric acid) Mix all ingredients together and add to browned ground beef. Cook until combined and then pour meat mixture into your food processor. Blend until very liquid and smooth. Return meat to your pan and cook on med-low heat for 3 minutes. Mash meat until extremely smooth Jacks Taco Sauce 1 cup Cold Water ¼ cup Heinz Chili Sauce 2 ½ tbsp Distilled White Vinegar 1 tbsp Cornstarch ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes ½ tsp Seasoning Salt (Lawry's or other brand) 1 tsp Garlic Powder ½ tsp Onion Powder ¼ tsp White Pepper 1/8 tsp Ground Coriander ¼ tsp Ground Cumin Pinch of Ground Cloves ½ tsp Sweet Smoked Paprika Add all ingredients to your blended and blend until combined. Heat a sauce pan over med/low heat. Add sauce and simmer 5-7 minutes to thicken sauce. Stir often. Let cool and pour sauce into squeeze bottle for easiest application. Refrigerate sauce before use.

If you have never eaten a Jack in the Box Taco good for you and I'm sorry. They are a weird combination of yummy and WTF. There have always been rumors about what is in them (it ain't all beef folks, not even half!) and the american cheese is about as out of place as that crazy sauce. It was 1950 San Diego and they did the best they could with what they had. Luckily, there are a few simple work arounds so you can make these amazing tacos at home. I'll show you how! Jack's Taco Meat Recipe 1 cup Cold Water 2 tbsp Oat Flour (finely ground quick or steel cut oats) 2 tbsp Tomato Paste 1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tbsp Chili Powder 1 tbsp Maseca Corn Four 1 tbsp AP Four 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Ac'cent Seasoning (or other brand of msg) 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce 1 tsp Sugar 1 tsp Ground Cumin A dash of Black Pepper A dash of Cayenne Pepper Squeeze of fresh lime juice (or dash of powdered citric acid) Mix all ingredients together and add to browned ground beef.

If you live where there in a Jack in the Box then I'm sure you know all about the Sourdough Jack burger. They have been around for a very long time and are a bit unique in the fast-food world. Half bacon Cheeseburger and half Patty Melt. 100% Delicious! At least they used to be. Lately they seem to be getting a bit "not" delicious let's just say. We can fix that by making our own. Enjoy!

I love Chalupas but lets face it, Taco Bell has been pretty wacky lately. We had better figure out a plan for when they cancel it too. Luckily the Chalupa Shell is really easy to make.
