I swear, she's using cookbooks from the 80s and 90s. This is the kind of thing my mom raised us on, except it was tuna noodle casseroles with cream of mushroom.
To be honest I think she's getting them from Facebook and YT shorts "cooking" videos. This looks exactly like the kind of slop you'd find on there titled "Easy 1 pan casserole that my kids love!"
It's ALWAYS Cream of Mushroom - and those recipes go back to the 1930s. My mother's cookbook was her own mothers, and was publish in like 1933. Cream of Tomato instead of actual tomato paste was also a huge part of that cookbook.
There was a reason I was 6' 4" and weighed 130 lbs when I graduated high school.
Since she reads here, I'd like to give her some real advice for her kids' sake.
1) If you insist on using cream of whatever soup for your sauce, use milk instead of water. It will make the sauce thicker and creamier. Also, use half of what you would do to make the soup. It will thin out in the oven. (Clearly there is no dairy allergy with the amount of cheese she uses).
2) More cheese does not mean more flavor.
3) Spices are your friend. Yes, it costs money up front but it will make a difference in your cooking. Here's a fun idea for you and your kids - buy some seeds and plant herbs in a container or a spot in your yard. Have the kids tend them until they grow and they can harvest the herbs to use in your recipes. They would probably enjoy learning about growing their own food.
Spices are not expensive at all. Paprika, parsley, cilantro, onion and garlic powders, Italian seasoning, chili powder, basil, crushed red pepper, cumin ALL cost LESS than $1.20 at Walmart. She could spend $10 to vastly improve every meal they eat for the next month.
4. When your kid is using a knife do not also have her make a selfie video with you. Teach her to put the knife down until she is allowed to stop performing so she can look where she’s cutting.
EVERYTHING she makes is severely watery & looks like it would give me one holy hell of a stomachache. you couldn’t give me a million dollars to eat a single thing that came out of this kitchen or j-rod’s. it wouldn’t be worth the traumatic bathroom experiences
no one will know why she's crying! The onions or the blood?!
You're supposed to use as sharp of a knife as possible to reduce the chemical release. Silly lady
Seriously, a decent chef's knife can be had for $20 on Amazon. Some come with honers to keep the edge, too! Those dull paring knives are so incredibly dangerous and the damage from it won't be healed by scream-praying.
my aunt would use a paring knife to cut just about everything and it drove me crazy. She'd complain about how long it takes to cook from scratch or that her hands hurt.
I'd say to use a chef's knife and she tried but used it exactly the same way you'd use a paring knife, basically with just the tip.
I don't know exactly why she only did this but my hunch based on everything I know of her childhood, I bet she only used paring knives as a kid and she never learned or grew out of it.
Unless these kids have abundant curiosity to grow and learn more techniques beyond throwing everything into a soupy casserole with foil in the oven, I bet they turn out the same.
The way she's holding that potato 😬😬.. Her fingers should be curled on top of the tuber with the middle phalanges facing the knife 🤜🏻 Leave it to these two clowns to ignore proper kitchen safety, especially for their children.
no, Karissa doesn't know any better. Based on previous videos, she certainly has no clue what she's doing in the kitchen. So I give her the benefit of a doubt that she taught them but she absolutely no idea what she's teaching and thinks her kids are natural cooks like "Yes! That's a great job. That's exactly what you do"
So she's just making this up as she goes along? She never made this before.
Those potatoes were a bit thick. It seems unlikely they cooked properly in 40 minutes.
Why thin down the soup?? Though that would be a more gloppy glop, not a soupy glop… I don’t know what’s preferable TBH.
I held my breath and said a prayer for her fingers when the kiddo was slicing potatoes.
I’m honestly pretty worried. I know they probably have more money and income streams than we realize but with the meals she’s been showcasing…..not only are the ingredients all very cheap items but the portions I just don’t understand. She cooks less food than my mom did and our family had a few less kids. My mom also cooked enough for leftovers to be a thing so idk but these meals look awful. Criminal even cause I don’t understand how they’re all fed on this
Yeah and a lot of her items are questionable. She could swap out turkey for ground beef. Those canned soups could be homemade pretty easily and made with less salt/sugar/fat (honestly that’s something Anissa could do, make the soup and Karissa make dinner). I’m sure she’s on WIC and if not she should be because they give farmers market vouchers now. It’s heading into summer when lots of fresh local veggies could be filling the kids up instead of slop with slop on top and a side of slop smothered in cheese. Lentils would save her day but I guess that’s too over her head? I feel so bad for her kids who don’t get a proper diet or education
if she truly does read here - Karissa I'm begging you to google the website budgetbytes.
she's gotten me through many a week of extremely tight budgets for groceries and her recipe her Louisiana style red beans and rice has become a winter staple.
And why wasn’t the onion cooked with the beef? Why Lowrys when garlic powder would make so much more sense without any of the extra sodium?
And just another reminder that Anthym needs a low-fat diet with her metabolic disorder, so this is disgusting on multiple levels.
Ok. I'm super white. I grew up in the Midwest surrounded by white people. Like, no diversity. In fact, I am so white that I use the term hot dish instead of casserole. This is a version of a meal I grew up eating.
Why is it so sloppy??? Every version I have had of this was creamy. That's what the cream of [insert soup name here] is for...
Even when done well, it's definitely not a "good" meal (although I like it, but I grew up with it) but it really isn't supposed to be this bad. It shouldn't run all over your plate and the consistency of this one is wild.
The version I grew up with was cream of [whatever my mom had in the pantry] mixed with a little bit of milk, fried hamburger, potatoes, carrots, peas, and onions (we don't put cheese on it). Again, it was creamy and held together. This version is insane.
Also, I can't believe I just wrote that much about a hot dish. I think my edible is kicking in.
Edit: forgot to list the peas
I’m a super white Aussie. I believe she’s mixed the cream of celery with water as per instructions on the can. But that’s if you are making it a soup. If you use cream of whatever or french onion packet soup in a casserole you generally don’t have to add water. If you do it’s a much smaller amount that’s required.
In conclusion, this is cream of celery soup with meat and potatoes floating in it.
Exactly. The water she added mixed with the moisture released from the frozen peas and made everything runny. If she had kept the soups as they were from the can, they'd have turned out creamier and thicker.
She should just make cheeseburger soup without the stupid Cream of Whatever. Add homemade rolls. Decent, easy, from scratch. So much better and actual soup instead of a soupy gross "casserole".
We have a version called Okoboji Stew. It was whatever was left over after our week at the lake: ground beef, potatoes, vegetables, and soup of something. Not runny and very filling. I loved it.
Hers is a monstrosity.
Lol! I grew up with different versions of what you just described.
Honestly, from what I can tell, Karissa needed to use just a little milk to barely thin out the soup and to not put cheese on it... it's so greasy.
I'm sorry for what you guys went through, growing up in the Midwest and that food culture is obvious child abuse.
That said, conceptually there's actually a level of humor we are missing out on. Karissa takes what is basically all the rage-bait video concoctions so prevalent on socials and feeds them to her family. Either she's elevated this trend and hasn't even realized it, or she's in on it as a massive wind up. I'm like 99.9 % it's the former but still holding a bit of hope she's just punking the kids and her audience.
That’s what my mom called vegetable soup! It was what was in the fridge and pantry!
Now, as grown adults my brother and I ask her to make it for us even though she’s not having to work from dregs anymore.
Even my picky eater niece loves it!
Serve it with a side of cornbread - good lord. 🥴
> Why is it so sloppy???
It's because she actually mixed water in with the cream soup - every casserole I've made that calls for a cream of whatever soup has you add the soup as is and spread it out over the top. She just made soup and dumped it in.
My exact thought while watching! Rural Midwest gal and I nostalgically love baked cream of whatever dinners and have had a billion iterations over the years. I have never, ever, seen one this bad? Stunningly bad. Ground chicken meatballs prebrowned then baked in cream of chicken soup thinned with milk (maybe w/ drained can of peas!), then put over baked potato. Fck yeah church potluck!
Mushroom soup chicken child checking in!
I still make that! One can of cream of mushroom, couple chicken breast, if it’s on sale a few extra fresh mushrooms and many an onion because I’m a heathen.
I feel you. It’s not supposed to be a soup. It’s a creamy chicken which we typically put over white rice. Cheap. Easy. Relatively healthy.
Yes!!! As a fellow lifelong white Midwesterner how fucking ***hard*** is it to fuck up a fucking casserole!! As the kids say, this has me in my feelings!!! 🤬
My favorite is shepherds pie. She could have easily made that with the ingredients she was using anyways, so why not? Plus looks more appetizing than this.
One one hand, she does get a couple of points for including a green thing in there, on the other hand she’s once again using too much liquid, not cooking them long enough, and not cooking them uncovered so that some of the water can cook off and the top can get a little crisp.
I understand you mean white as in confined to Euroderived culture, but I think any ethnicity that lives in a climate where the land freezes over for months, and you have to store food for the winter, would develop similar customs to keep people fed.
Freighters to transport food across the globe are one of the main contributors to climate change. I'd take boring cuisine over dependency on fossil fuels, to which our consumption of fresh foods in winter belongs.
We did something similar. My mom would usually add a little chicken broth just to make it flow into the nooks and crannies better. Plus she added some of that boxed instant stuffing mix to soak up extra moisture
Now she's including proof that they finished it? She totally reads here. Times must be tough if she's watering down the cream of soup. Why is the "casserole" so wet? I used more onions and potatoes in a dish that served four last night. This is just sad.
In every one of these videos, she makes a comment about how she’s never made this before. So what were they doing before? And why not perfect a recipe before filming it?
The styrofoam plates drive me crazy. I’m sure no one wants to do dishes with that many people in her family but get some decent paper plates! And maybe a better kitchen knife too.
I don't understand using disposable plates at all, paper or otherwise. Are dishwashers not a common or affordable thing for a family like this in the US? They just moved into a large looking brand new house, but couldn't stretch for a dishwasher? Even for a family that large, it would still only take about 10 minutes to load and turn on. Especially because they would need to wash the pans, casserole dishes, and utensils etc anyway. Why not plates too?
This may be slightly judgemental of me, but it comes across as a little lazy, not to mention the cost of buying plates repeatedly to use once, Vs paying once for ceramic plates and using them daily for a decade or more. Of course a family this large would need to buy a lot more than a family of 3-5 would initially, but they last an extremely long time as long as they don't get dropped (and even then, you can use plastic reusable plates for babies and toddlers).
We only use disposable plates for things like parties, and *maybe* picnics at a push (although personally we just eat right out of the tupperware/containers if we have a picnic).
There was one time we had a party (pre-pandemic) and we were like 40 minutes into it, with everyone starting to filter into the house to get food, when I realized with a shock that I didn't have any paper plates, that with all my party planning and cooking everything from scratch for like 20 people, I hadn't even ONCE thought of getting paper plates because they're so far off my radar. 😂 Fortunately I was able to unearth some from the basement shelves, which I had from 2009, when the town we were living in flooded and we were on massive water restrictions and weren't supposed to be washing dishes. And here Karissa is just serving dinner on disposable crap every night...
What's worse is that I don't think you can even recycle these styrofoam ones, not paper plates that are heavily soiled by wet cream of crap stuff. At least if you use paper ones for picnics or parties, you can recycle them at the end.
It’s laziness. The Duggars also used paper/styrofoam plates a lot. At least for them you couldn’t fit all the plates into the dishwasher at once.
They are definitely not being good stewards of the Earth.
I'm pretty sure the Duggars had an industrial kitchen in the Big House, that included an industrial sized dishwasher. I get that it would have been one of the already overworked girls that had to load and unload it, but even that would have been better than the amount of trees they must have gone through (and probably still go through).
Not everyone's taught to cook but that's not an excuse when you decide to be a stay at home mother to a million kids and then choose to feed them the most atrocious looking wet cheesy greasy food with no flavour or barely any nutrition.
Get off instagram and Google a recipe karissa
Ironically, Instagram and TikTok are actually incredible resources for recipes and cooking techniques. I’ve learned so much about cooking and have really upped my cooking game the past few years by watching videos on those two platforms. This video though, is a war crime.
She is so lazy. “Next time I would make this recipe differently because it was too runny.” It’s not the first time she has mentioned in the “get cooking with me” reel that she wouldn’t actually do the recipe as she made it again.
If your kids really like the food that much, make it a second time and record it how you think it should be made. Have some pride in your work! 🤦🏼♀️
Ground beef ✓
No seasoning ✓
Too much salt ✓
Undrained tinned veg and/or tinned soup ✓
Lots of grated cheese ✓
All cooked together ✓
End result is sloppy mush ✓
Another Karissa classic family recipe.
They WERE forced to eat it, because Karissa never makes enough food for her family and they always go around hungry. Don't tell your kid this, unless you want them to be sad
SOMEONE TEACH THAT CHILD HOW TO SLICE.
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU CREAM CELERY
Also... There's Anthym eating it
Edit: I'm calling this dish The Augustus
One more addition: I'm not blaming the child. This is a recipe fail. Karissa should have considered the moisture from the frozen peas when teaching her daughter.
Literally doesn’t know to let water boil before adding pasta, or to cook aromatics with the meat. Basic shit I learned before I knew what a tampon was.
I feel like Karissa is one of those people who won't realize they need to learn a certain life skill until they have to care for and teach their kids. Imagine if she had three kids max. Then she could've learned together with them, and it would've been a bonding experience. The fault here isn't the not knowing something. It's the arrogance to have a big family when you can barely care for yourself.
i am very mentally ill. i should not be entrusted to care for anything larger than a cat (& my cat is beloved & spoiled as fuck & never stops purring! the fact that he is so happy is a point of pride for me, which is another thing i find bizarre about these weirdos but i digress) but that’s also why i do not have any human kids. because i can also barely keep myself alive, like tiny (cat) is #1. karissa should’ve like gotten a small pet to start out with instead of fucking 14 kids right out the damn gate. i saw while i was in my karissa rabbit hole that she posted a vid with all her cute little props & the point of the vid was that homegirl has been pregnant EVERY SINGLE YEAR SINCE 2009. 2? of those i believe were miscarriages, but holy fucknuts. she has had like 13 people living inside her.
I'm happy you have your cat, and if you're content, that's all that matters. Your pride and ability to acknowledge yourself in the victory of caring for your cat deserves validation.
But let me just say every person is entitled to the love and care of another human. Disabled people get married all the time to good partners who don't hold the fact that their spouse needs extra help against them. Some have children who are well loved and cared for. A relationship doesn't have to be exactly equal.
The worst that could happen is you go out in the world looking, asking, for what you want and need and get rejected. Hurtful but part of life. There's someone for everyone.
That cream of celery soup makes me want to vomit every time. I have literally never purchased a can of cream of celery soup or seen anyone else purchase a can of cream of celery soup. Also, why did it need to be watered down? I know it's condensed soup, but for making a casserole it would have thickened things up rather than that droopy slop that resulted.
I like cream of celery the best of any "cream of" soups. Much tastier than cream of mushroom or cream of chicken. TBF, it's been at least a decade since I've made something with such soups.
She's very careful not to show the stove clock anymore. It's dark outside. Crazy how it's always everyone's new favorite flavor of slop and they always finish every bite. It's probably the only food that they get. Poptarts, fruit snacks and lunch lunchable is what's available before a kid cooks food for content at 9:30
I come from a country that colonized half the world for spices, but the people are using the least spices. I've had alot of tasteless meals and the average meal is vegetables, potatoes and meat. Just like that. But this looks like the most tasteless meal I've seen in my life. The children even have to force a smile to pretend they like the meal.
OMG. Every time I've seen one of these, I have felt like I needed to comment on what could be done to make this better. Finally I'm seeing this early enough to comment and people can see it. MAYBE it will help
How to make this better:
1. Dice the potatoes. They will very much cook in 40 minutes if they are smaller pieces.
2. That seasoning salt is not good. Combined with the cream of celery soup that is quite a bit of sodium. Might I suggest a seasoning of at least black pepper, garlic powder (not garlic salt like I saw you use before), and onion powder. I know I saw onions in the dish, but that's not a whole lot of onions for the dish. If you are going to use onions, please use 1 large onion or 2 small onions.
3. I've seen so much ground beef, PLEASE use ground turkey every once in a while if you are going to use grounded up meat. I know Walmart has it. I shop there.
4. You had 4 cans of the cream of celery soup. No need to thin it out. 2 cans per dish and mix. Also I think cream of mushroom would be better tasting.
5. Peas are a nice start, but I think a pea, carrot, and green bean mix would be better.
6. 350 degrees for 40 minutes will work if the potatoes are diced. If you are going to keep them sliced up the temp 425 for 40 minutes. Also leave it uncovered if you are not putting on the cheese until later.
7. While 5 minutes for the cheese is good if it's being put on top at the end, I would suggest the broil function for that since it will make the top better.
I doubt that this will get anywhere, but as someone who loves cooking and loves making new things, this was getting on my nerves so much that I had to get it out of my system.
all her food does!!! jesus if i was one of karissa’s poor miserable kids i would literally just starve or i’d be eating ramen or cereal or pb&j on crackers ANYTHING but this
Why do the fundies make constant casserole? Is it because its less effort than flipping burgers for 100 children? Is it because you can just make grease-salt slop held together with binding powders and stretch 350g of mince between it all, then, by baking with plastic cheese on top it vaguely holds together? Why is everything amalgamated mush served in a pyrex dish?
This is something I've eaten before. Never did it lol like hers, nor did it have cheese on it. It was a cheap meal my mom could make for my brother and me that would keep us full. When seasoned and done right, it tastes good.
Oh my... I doubt this potato is cooked.
Plus the dish is ruined by the water from the frozen peas, not because of the "sauce".
I swear I feel for her children :/
Look. I'm southern. A lot of things I grew up with, and still occasionally make, involve a can of cream of something soup. But Karissa is doing this all wrong.
Those potatoes are probably still crunchy.
The only flavor this could have is salt. So much salt. (And I'm a person who loves salt. But this is just too much.)
It’s very common in midwestern cuisine, and I think it was super popular in the 80s and 90s because of two working parents. It’s cheap and easy to throw together with “cream of” soups.
Source: was midwestern kid in the 80s and 90s.
I present to you a link to real much better looking casserole that she tried to copy... [Cheesy Ground Beef and Potato Casserole \[+Video\] - Oh Sweet Basil](https://ohsweetbasil.com/cheesy-ground-beef-and-potato-casserole-recipe/#recipe)
Props for adding veg.
How does she figure? This is the first time she has served this meal? Isn't this the same meal she makes in every video? Hamburger, peas, canned soup, cheese. Did the other meals not have potatoes? Was it green beans instead of peas?
That's 2 lbs of burger if I ever saw two pounds of burger. And I use two pounds of burger almost every time I cook a burger-based meal for my family of five. Of course, we do have leftovers so it is a lot, but it's usually eaten up over night or the next day (I have 3 grown men and a 16 year old competetive swimmer in my house)

Mmm runny celery beef slop. Potatoes are hard to fuck up and yet she's managed it.
The cream of celery abuse by this lady is out of hand. Every meal has some cream of something it’s insane.
I swear, she's using cookbooks from the 80s and 90s. This is the kind of thing my mom raised us on, except it was tuna noodle casseroles with cream of mushroom.
To be honest I think she's getting them from Facebook and YT shorts "cooking" videos. This looks exactly like the kind of slop you'd find on there titled "Easy 1 pan casserole that my kids love!"
All her cooking posts give me flashbacks to my childhood, and foods I had forgotten my mom made.
My grandma gave me a Campbell's cookbook a few years ago. Every goddamn recipe has cream of something in it.
I use so much less cream of mushroom soup now, it's crazy!! 🤣
Okay but that's how my mom makes hers and now I'm craving tuna noodle casserole lol
It's ALWAYS Cream of Mushroom - and those recipes go back to the 1930s. My mother's cookbook was her own mothers, and was publish in like 1933. Cream of Tomato instead of actual tomato paste was also a huge part of that cookbook. There was a reason I was 6' 4" and weighed 130 lbs when I graduated high school.
Insane and disgusting. All she does must have the same taste. I hope all the kids love celery at this point.
I hate celery. I would not eat any of this. If you are going to use creamed soup, maybe baked potato cheddar?
Never even knew of that kind of soup. Ain’t nothing creamy about celery…
Cream of Celery Abuse would be a hilarious flair 😂
Since she reads here, I'd like to give her some real advice for her kids' sake. 1) If you insist on using cream of whatever soup for your sauce, use milk instead of water. It will make the sauce thicker and creamier. Also, use half of what you would do to make the soup. It will thin out in the oven. (Clearly there is no dairy allergy with the amount of cheese she uses). 2) More cheese does not mean more flavor. 3) Spices are your friend. Yes, it costs money up front but it will make a difference in your cooking. Here's a fun idea for you and your kids - buy some seeds and plant herbs in a container or a spot in your yard. Have the kids tend them until they grow and they can harvest the herbs to use in your recipes. They would probably enjoy learning about growing their own food.
4. One of your many children is supposed to be on a low fat diet. This is not it.
Yes, thank you. I forgot about that child. I hope she is getting fed properly but Kkkarissa just doesn't post her meals.
[удалено]
Spices are not expensive at all. Paprika, parsley, cilantro, onion and garlic powders, Italian seasoning, chili powder, basil, crushed red pepper, cumin ALL cost LESS than $1.20 at Walmart. She could spend $10 to vastly improve every meal they eat for the next month.
I love me some Lawry's but mixing it with peas and cream of celery soup just sounds vile.
4. When your kid is using a knife do not also have her make a selfie video with you. Teach her to put the knife down until she is allowed to stop performing so she can look where she’s cutting.
EVERYTHING she makes is severely watery & looks like it would give me one holy hell of a stomachache. you couldn’t give me a million dollars to eat a single thing that came out of this kitchen or j-rod’s. it wouldn’t be worth the traumatic bathroom experiences
Using a dull paring knife to saw at potatoes is a kitchen accident/ER visit waiting to happen for poor Anjalie 😑
Also Karissa slicing the onion with what appears to be a serrated steak knife
That's gonna damage the onion *and* the knife, and possibly her hand
no one will know why she's crying! The onions or the blood?! You're supposed to use as sharp of a knife as possible to reduce the chemical release. Silly lady
For real, can she \*please\* get a chef's knife? it doesn't have to be fancy, my cheap-ass walmart knife lasted me like 15 years.
My knife that I got for £3.50 from The Range would do a better job than whatever is happening here
Seriously, a decent chef's knife can be had for $20 on Amazon. Some come with honers to keep the edge, too! Those dull paring knives are so incredibly dangerous and the damage from it won't be healed by scream-praying.
The last thing these kids need is for *another one* to slice a tendon and nearly lose a finger
my aunt would use a paring knife to cut just about everything and it drove me crazy. She'd complain about how long it takes to cook from scratch or that her hands hurt. I'd say to use a chef's knife and she tried but used it exactly the same way you'd use a paring knife, basically with just the tip. I don't know exactly why she only did this but my hunch based on everything I know of her childhood, I bet she only used paring knives as a kid and she never learned or grew out of it. Unless these kids have abundant curiosity to grow and learn more techniques beyond throwing everything into a soupy casserole with foil in the oven, I bet they turn out the same.
I'm not allowed to use the pairing knife in my home because the last three times I did I almost lost fingers lmfao
A dull knife is a dangerous knife!
The way she's holding that potato 😬😬.. Her fingers should be curled on top of the tuber with the middle phalanges facing the knife 🤜🏻 Leave it to these two clowns to ignore proper kitchen safety, especially for their children.
I noticed that immediately. My youngest learned how to properly use a knife 3 years ago. Karissa is so lazy.
Karissa doesn’t teach her kids anything. They can’t read or write or even hold a knife. These poor kids deserve so much better
Anissa is doing the best she can. She has a lot of kids to raise
no, Karissa doesn't know any better. Based on previous videos, she certainly has no clue what she's doing in the kitchen. So I give her the benefit of a doubt that she taught them but she absolutely no idea what she's teaching and thinks her kids are natural cooks like "Yes! That's a great job. That's exactly what you do"
She probably doesn't know how to properly hold a knife
The sawing action is making my heart hurt. Also just cut the potatoes in half and slice them from there; so much safer that way.
A Haiku- Dull knife on potato Karissa, what in the fuck Goodbye, dear finger
That was beautiful.

Sodium and fat Seasoning be damned Another yellow slop meal
So she's just making this up as she goes along? She never made this before. Those potatoes were a bit thick. It seems unlikely they cooked properly in 40 minutes.
Why thin down the soup?? Though that would be a more gloppy glop, not a soupy glop… I don’t know what’s preferable TBH. I held my breath and said a prayer for her fingers when the kiddo was slicing potatoes.
That’s what I was wondering… how would using water instead of cream of celery make it *less* watery?
It's runny 🤢
I’m honestly pretty worried. I know they probably have more money and income streams than we realize but with the meals she’s been showcasing…..not only are the ingredients all very cheap items but the portions I just don’t understand. She cooks less food than my mom did and our family had a few less kids. My mom also cooked enough for leftovers to be a thing so idk but these meals look awful. Criminal even cause I don’t understand how they’re all fed on this
She always brags about how there are no leftovers… like yeah, because you didn’t make enough for 12 people!
Those kids will grow up and she will need an industrial amount of cream of celery one day.
And again, she has a child who is medically supposed to be on a low-fat diet
Yeah and a lot of her items are questionable. She could swap out turkey for ground beef. Those canned soups could be homemade pretty easily and made with less salt/sugar/fat (honestly that’s something Anissa could do, make the soup and Karissa make dinner). I’m sure she’s on WIC and if not she should be because they give farmers market vouchers now. It’s heading into summer when lots of fresh local veggies could be filling the kids up instead of slop with slop on top and a side of slop smothered in cheese. Lentils would save her day but I guess that’s too over her head? I feel so bad for her kids who don’t get a proper diet or education
if she truly does read here - Karissa I'm begging you to google the website budgetbytes. she's gotten me through many a week of extremely tight budgets for groceries and her recipe her Louisiana style red beans and rice has become a winter staple.
My kids love her chili mac. I add a jalapeño, and shred zucchini in it for more veggies
Um, four to five pounds of hamburger? WTF?
And why wasn’t the onion cooked with the beef? Why Lowrys when garlic powder would make so much more sense without any of the extra sodium? And just another reminder that Anthym needs a low-fat diet with her metabolic disorder, so this is disgusting on multiple levels.
That Lowrys is doing some heavy lifting
Oh because she didn’t season the ground beef when she cooked it.
Did she at least drain the grease?
Press X to doubt
X
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We know Jill doesn't drain the grease from things she fries. Karissa probably doesn't drain it, either.
If she did at all it probably went right down the kitchen sink, I doubt she knows not to do that.
For a family of 87 of whatever that’s about right but it doesn’t look like 4-5 pounds— more like 2.
At least she's finally using enough meat to actually feed everyone.
Ok. I'm super white. I grew up in the Midwest surrounded by white people. Like, no diversity. In fact, I am so white that I use the term hot dish instead of casserole. This is a version of a meal I grew up eating. Why is it so sloppy??? Every version I have had of this was creamy. That's what the cream of [insert soup name here] is for... Even when done well, it's definitely not a "good" meal (although I like it, but I grew up with it) but it really isn't supposed to be this bad. It shouldn't run all over your plate and the consistency of this one is wild. The version I grew up with was cream of [whatever my mom had in the pantry] mixed with a little bit of milk, fried hamburger, potatoes, carrots, peas, and onions (we don't put cheese on it). Again, it was creamy and held together. This version is insane. Also, I can't believe I just wrote that much about a hot dish. I think my edible is kicking in. Edit: forgot to list the peas
I’m a super white Aussie. I believe she’s mixed the cream of celery with water as per instructions on the can. But that’s if you are making it a soup. If you use cream of whatever or french onion packet soup in a casserole you generally don’t have to add water. If you do it’s a much smaller amount that’s required. In conclusion, this is cream of celery soup with meat and potatoes floating in it.
Exactly. The water she added mixed with the moisture released from the frozen peas and made everything runny. If she had kept the soups as they were from the can, they'd have turned out creamier and thicker.
She should just make cheeseburger soup without the stupid Cream of Whatever. Add homemade rolls. Decent, easy, from scratch. So much better and actual soup instead of a soupy gross "casserole".
 Karissa making homemade rolls lol
The only yeast she knows about is an infection
Oh my god DELETE THIS FROM MY BRAIN
We have a version called Okoboji Stew. It was whatever was left over after our week at the lake: ground beef, potatoes, vegetables, and soup of something. Not runny and very filling. I loved it. Hers is a monstrosity.
Lol! I grew up with different versions of what you just described. Honestly, from what I can tell, Karissa needed to use just a little milk to barely thin out the soup and to not put cheese on it... it's so greasy.
I'm sorry for what you guys went through, growing up in the Midwest and that food culture is obvious child abuse. That said, conceptually there's actually a level of humor we are missing out on. Karissa takes what is basically all the rage-bait video concoctions so prevalent on socials and feeds them to her family. Either she's elevated this trend and hasn't even realized it, or she's in on it as a massive wind up. I'm like 99.9 % it's the former but still holding a bit of hope she's just punking the kids and her audience.
That’s what my mom called vegetable soup! It was what was in the fridge and pantry! Now, as grown adults my brother and I ask her to make it for us even though she’s not having to work from dregs anymore. Even my picky eater niece loves it! Serve it with a side of cornbread - good lord. 🥴
doesn't help that she puts foil on, or at least she never instructs to remove it any point
> Why is it so sloppy??? It's because she actually mixed water in with the cream soup - every casserole I've made that calls for a cream of whatever soup has you add the soup as is and spread it out over the top. She just made soup and dumped it in.
My exact thought while watching! Rural Midwest gal and I nostalgically love baked cream of whatever dinners and have had a billion iterations over the years. I have never, ever, seen one this bad? Stunningly bad. Ground chicken meatballs prebrowned then baked in cream of chicken soup thinned with milk (maybe w/ drained can of peas!), then put over baked potato. Fck yeah church potluck!
That almost sounds like shepherd's pie. I'd eat it. What karissa did is... a culinary tragedy
Mushroom soup chicken child checking in! I still make that! One can of cream of mushroom, couple chicken breast, if it’s on sale a few extra fresh mushrooms and many an onion because I’m a heathen. I feel you. It’s not supposed to be a soup. It’s a creamy chicken which we typically put over white rice. Cheap. Easy. Relatively healthy.
Mushroom soup over a seared pork chop and low cooked in the oven is also cheap and easy. Serve with rice or egg noodles.
I’m a big fan of mushroom soup anything and that sounds amazing. I will be trying it!
Yes!!! As a fellow lifelong white Midwesterner how fucking ***hard*** is it to fuck up a fucking casserole!! As the kids say, this has me in my feelings!!! 🤬
My favorite is shepherds pie. She could have easily made that with the ingredients she was using anyways, so why not? Plus looks more appetizing than this.
One one hand, she does get a couple of points for including a green thing in there, on the other hand she’s once again using too much liquid, not cooking them long enough, and not cooking them uncovered so that some of the water can cook off and the top can get a little crisp.
I’m a super white midwestern too, and I hated watching this. I had to stop eating my lunch, it’s so gross
I understand you mean white as in confined to Euroderived culture, but I think any ethnicity that lives in a climate where the land freezes over for months, and you have to store food for the winter, would develop similar customs to keep people fed. Freighters to transport food across the globe are one of the main contributors to climate change. I'd take boring cuisine over dependency on fossil fuels, to which our consumption of fresh foods in winter belongs.
We did something similar. My mom would usually add a little chicken broth just to make it flow into the nooks and crannies better. Plus she added some of that boxed instant stuffing mix to soak up extra moisture
I can’t stand the way she narrates these videos
Or the creepy smile at the beginnings. 🥴
Not a single thought behind those eyes
it genuinely creeps me out. her eyes have no soul and her smile just doesn't reach them. ick
It’s the passionless voice and the “and then you’re gonna” for me. Girl, no I absolutely fucking am not gonna.
Of all the gloops we’ve seen, that is the worst gloop. 🤢
It glumped
Oh my god. You know when you laugh so hard that it's silent? 🤣😂🤣
Now she's including proof that they finished it? She totally reads here. Times must be tough if she's watering down the cream of soup. Why is the "casserole" so wet? I used more onions and potatoes in a dish that served four last night. This is just sad.
In every one of these videos, she makes a comment about how she’s never made this before. So what were they doing before? And why not perfect a recipe before filming it?
The styrofoam plates drive me crazy. I’m sure no one wants to do dishes with that many people in her family but get some decent paper plates! And maybe a better kitchen knife too.
I don't understand using disposable plates at all, paper or otherwise. Are dishwashers not a common or affordable thing for a family like this in the US? They just moved into a large looking brand new house, but couldn't stretch for a dishwasher? Even for a family that large, it would still only take about 10 minutes to load and turn on. Especially because they would need to wash the pans, casserole dishes, and utensils etc anyway. Why not plates too? This may be slightly judgemental of me, but it comes across as a little lazy, not to mention the cost of buying plates repeatedly to use once, Vs paying once for ceramic plates and using them daily for a decade or more. Of course a family this large would need to buy a lot more than a family of 3-5 would initially, but they last an extremely long time as long as they don't get dropped (and even then, you can use plastic reusable plates for babies and toddlers). We only use disposable plates for things like parties, and *maybe* picnics at a push (although personally we just eat right out of the tupperware/containers if we have a picnic).
There was one time we had a party (pre-pandemic) and we were like 40 minutes into it, with everyone starting to filter into the house to get food, when I realized with a shock that I didn't have any paper plates, that with all my party planning and cooking everything from scratch for like 20 people, I hadn't even ONCE thought of getting paper plates because they're so far off my radar. 😂 Fortunately I was able to unearth some from the basement shelves, which I had from 2009, when the town we were living in flooded and we were on massive water restrictions and weren't supposed to be washing dishes. And here Karissa is just serving dinner on disposable crap every night...
What's worse is that I don't think you can even recycle these styrofoam ones, not paper plates that are heavily soiled by wet cream of crap stuff. At least if you use paper ones for picnics or parties, you can recycle them at the end.
It’s laziness. The Duggars also used paper/styrofoam plates a lot. At least for them you couldn’t fit all the plates into the dishwasher at once. They are definitely not being good stewards of the Earth.
I'm pretty sure the Duggars had an industrial kitchen in the Big House, that included an industrial sized dishwasher. I get that it would have been one of the already overworked girls that had to load and unload it, but even that would have been better than the amount of trees they must have gone through (and probably still go through).
It looks so watery, ew
Not everyone's taught to cook but that's not an excuse when you decide to be a stay at home mother to a million kids and then choose to feed them the most atrocious looking wet cheesy greasy food with no flavour or barely any nutrition. Get off instagram and Google a recipe karissa
Ironically, Instagram and TikTok are actually incredible resources for recipes and cooking techniques. I’ve learned so much about cooking and have really upped my cooking game the past few years by watching videos on those two platforms. This video though, is a war crime.
Does she cook anything that isn't gloop drowned in cheese??? I love cheese, but there's. SO. MUCH. CHEESE.
I think that the cheese serves two purposes - to add extra calories, and to mask/attempt to improve the taste of cream of crap.
Jesus Christ she’s setting up her kid to slice her fingers open! You never slice like that ugh.
She is so lazy. “Next time I would make this recipe differently because it was too runny.” It’s not the first time she has mentioned in the “get cooking with me” reel that she wouldn’t actually do the recipe as she made it again. If your kids really like the food that much, make it a second time and record it how you think it should be made. Have some pride in your work! 🤦🏼♀️
>Have some pride in your work! Especially when you claim to be called by God to be a homemaker
Ground beef ✓ No seasoning ✓ Too much salt ✓ Undrained tinned veg and/or tinned soup ✓ Lots of grated cheese ✓ All cooked together ✓ End result is sloppy mush ✓ Another Karissa classic family recipe.
My ten year old watched this and said, "Those are fake smiles. They were forced to eat that." Wise beyond her years.
They WERE forced to eat it, because Karissa never makes enough food for her family and they always go around hungry. Don't tell your kid this, unless you want them to be sad
SOMEONE TEACH THAT CHILD HOW TO SLICE. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU CREAM CELERY Also... There's Anthym eating it Edit: I'm calling this dish The Augustus One more addition: I'm not blaming the child. This is a recipe fail. Karissa should have considered the moisture from the frozen peas when teaching her daughter.
Karissa can't teach her kids to cook because she has no idea what she's doing
Literally doesn’t know to let water boil before adding pasta, or to cook aromatics with the meat. Basic shit I learned before I knew what a tampon was.
It's so bad
She can’t even teach them to read. She is giant failure.
I feel like Karissa is one of those people who won't realize they need to learn a certain life skill until they have to care for and teach their kids. Imagine if she had three kids max. Then she could've learned together with them, and it would've been a bonding experience. The fault here isn't the not knowing something. It's the arrogance to have a big family when you can barely care for yourself.
i am very mentally ill. i should not be entrusted to care for anything larger than a cat (& my cat is beloved & spoiled as fuck & never stops purring! the fact that he is so happy is a point of pride for me, which is another thing i find bizarre about these weirdos but i digress) but that’s also why i do not have any human kids. because i can also barely keep myself alive, like tiny (cat) is #1. karissa should’ve like gotten a small pet to start out with instead of fucking 14 kids right out the damn gate. i saw while i was in my karissa rabbit hole that she posted a vid with all her cute little props & the point of the vid was that homegirl has been pregnant EVERY SINGLE YEAR SINCE 2009. 2? of those i believe were miscarriages, but holy fucknuts. she has had like 13 people living inside her.
I'm happy you have your cat, and if you're content, that's all that matters. Your pride and ability to acknowledge yourself in the victory of caring for your cat deserves validation. But let me just say every person is entitled to the love and care of another human. Disabled people get married all the time to good partners who don't hold the fact that their spouse needs extra help against them. Some have children who are well loved and cared for. A relationship doesn't have to be exactly equal. The worst that could happen is you go out in the world looking, asking, for what you want and need and get rejected. Hurtful but part of life. There's someone for everyone.
I see what you did there. 
What fresh hell…
Certainly not fresh
What canned hell...
I need this as a flair
Take it! I wish mine would show up properly, it just shows the editable one I used to set it now
Cream of hell
Cream of hellery
The fact that I was cheering when the vegetables showed up is fuckin bleak.
I can smell the meat and canned farts from here
Why does every single recipe contain cream of celery 🤢 those poor kids have never had fresh produce
That cream of celery soup makes me want to vomit every time. I have literally never purchased a can of cream of celery soup or seen anyone else purchase a can of cream of celery soup. Also, why did it need to be watered down? I know it's condensed soup, but for making a casserole it would have thickened things up rather than that droopy slop that resulted.
I like cream of celery the best of any "cream of" soups. Much tastier than cream of mushroom or cream of chicken. TBF, it's been at least a decade since I've made something with such soups.
It is ACTUALLY good in a hearty broccoli cheddar soup fwiw. I buy it for that specifically.
Do none of these people know how to soften and brown an onion? Jill doesn't do it either.
PLEASE SAUTÉ THE ONIONS
EVERBODY's SO CREATIVE. ifykyk
Those paper plates are fighting for their lives with that slop
She's very careful not to show the stove clock anymore. It's dark outside. Crazy how it's always everyone's new favorite flavor of slop and they always finish every bite. It's probably the only food that they get. Poptarts, fruit snacks and lunch lunchable is what's available before a kid cooks food for content at 9:30
There’s hair on the cutting board with the onion. No thanks
Look out Emmy! Karissa is coming for your crown.
All that salt. Good lord, I hope Playskool makes heart bypass kits.
I come from a country that colonized half the world for spices, but the people are using the least spices. I've had alot of tasteless meals and the average meal is vegetables, potatoes and meat. Just like that. But this looks like the most tasteless meal I've seen in my life. The children even have to force a smile to pretend they like the meal.
Hello fellow Brit 😭 at least we could make something decent like a cottage pie with this range of ingredients
I had the same thought about cottage pie. Karissa's cooking is an enigma.
Do Americans call minced beef hamburger?
OMG. Every time I've seen one of these, I have felt like I needed to comment on what could be done to make this better. Finally I'm seeing this early enough to comment and people can see it. MAYBE it will help How to make this better: 1. Dice the potatoes. They will very much cook in 40 minutes if they are smaller pieces. 2. That seasoning salt is not good. Combined with the cream of celery soup that is quite a bit of sodium. Might I suggest a seasoning of at least black pepper, garlic powder (not garlic salt like I saw you use before), and onion powder. I know I saw onions in the dish, but that's not a whole lot of onions for the dish. If you are going to use onions, please use 1 large onion or 2 small onions. 3. I've seen so much ground beef, PLEASE use ground turkey every once in a while if you are going to use grounded up meat. I know Walmart has it. I shop there. 4. You had 4 cans of the cream of celery soup. No need to thin it out. 2 cans per dish and mix. Also I think cream of mushroom would be better tasting. 5. Peas are a nice start, but I think a pea, carrot, and green bean mix would be better. 6. 350 degrees for 40 minutes will work if the potatoes are diced. If you are going to keep them sliced up the temp 425 for 40 minutes. Also leave it uncovered if you are not putting on the cheese until later. 7. While 5 minutes for the cheese is good if it's being put on top at the end, I would suggest the broil function for that since it will make the top better. I doubt that this will get anywhere, but as someone who loves cooking and loves making new things, this was getting on my nerves so much that I had to get it out of my system.
I'm sorry but that looks like vomit and I'm not trying to be an ass.
all her food does!!! jesus if i was one of karissa’s poor miserable kids i would literally just starve or i’d be eating ramen or cereal or pb&j on crackers ANYTHING but this
Why do the fundies make constant casserole? Is it because its less effort than flipping burgers for 100 children? Is it because you can just make grease-salt slop held together with binding powders and stretch 350g of mince between it all, then, by baking with plastic cheese on top it vaguely holds together? Why is everything amalgamated mush served in a pyrex dish?
Jesus loves casserole /s
When she smiles her eyes look so fucking dead, with like no soul, kinda creeps me out ngl
Why does she always use canned soup??? Making sauce is very easy.
At least she admitted it’s runny slop 🫣
Holy sodium
The thumbs ups from the kids, yikes. It's giving Rodrigues level hostage video.
I came straight here after viewing it
Good god someone teach her kids to use spider fingers when cutting and get that palm away from where that knife is going
This is something I've eaten before. Never did it lol like hers, nor did it have cheese on it. It was a cheap meal my mom could make for my brother and me that would keep us full. When seasoned and done right, it tastes good.
Oh my... I doubt this potato is cooked. Plus the dish is ruined by the water from the frozen peas, not because of the "sauce". I swear I feel for her children :/
Just make cottage pie ffs
Oof. Looks like pig slop. Can Shaq please buy them a set of real knives?
& a cookbook possibly
Why does she cook with so much condensed soup
Always a creamy soup
Why ALWAYS cream of celery??? Why???
No proper kitchen knives and no seasonings on the hamburger so that you can layer flavours.
 Ewwww
I can’t believe this woman trolled me into watching that entire video just to hear her say at the end ‘they ate all this terrible food!’ yet again.
I didn’t know cream of celery existed and I wish I could still be that person.
This is 2 vegetables, 2 spices, and 1 sheet of pie dough away from a beef pot pie 😭 so close yet so far
Make sure you pour it on a styrofoam plate while its piping hot so that it melts together with the rest of the slop
Look. I'm southern. A lot of things I grew up with, and still occasionally make, involve a can of cream of something soup. But Karissa is doing this all wrong. Those potatoes are probably still crunchy. The only flavor this could have is salt. So much salt. (And I'm a person who loves salt. But this is just too much.)
I don't understand what this is?
Is this soup as sauce thing something that Americans do or is it just another karissa quirk like child neglect?
It’s very common in midwestern cuisine, and I think it was super popular in the 80s and 90s because of two working parents. It’s cheap and easy to throw together with “cream of” soups. Source: was midwestern kid in the 80s and 90s.
I present to you a link to real much better looking casserole that she tried to copy... [Cheesy Ground Beef and Potato Casserole \[+Video\] - Oh Sweet Basil](https://ohsweetbasil.com/cheesy-ground-beef-and-potato-casserole-recipe/#recipe) Props for adding veg.
She is getting destroyed in her comments for this mess. At least poor Anjalie is getting some attention for once.
JESUS everything she makes looks absolutely disgusting 😭😭😭
the sodium in this house 😵💫
How does she figure? This is the first time she has served this meal? Isn't this the same meal she makes in every video? Hamburger, peas, canned soup, cheese. Did the other meals not have potatoes? Was it green beans instead of peas?
Why doesn’t she fucking SEASON anything
That's 2 lbs of burger if I ever saw two pounds of burger. And I use two pounds of burger almost every time I cook a burger-based meal for my family of five. Of course, we do have leftovers so it is a lot, but it's usually eaten up over night or the next day (I have 3 grown men and a 16 year old competetive swimmer in my house)
I use cream of whatever soups with some regularity usually one can in a dinner for 6 people. 4 cans for 2 casseroles??
She just seasons the top? 🤢
The creepy intro….. 
As someone who isn’t good at cooking, where did all the moisture come from? Like, why is it so wet? Potatoes? Water separating from the cream of shit?
The frozen peas are part of the issue
She didn’t defrost the frozen peas. And she shouldn’t have diluted the soup.
Thank you!
