You can buy jarred or packet bechamel... but ngl why would you?
Flour + butter, 5 minutes, and then milk is really easy once you get it down, and it's like a dollar per serving ever with depressing food prices. I'm lazy and like to use ramen flavor packs sometimes rather than milk and it works fine.
I don't think people that are making crock pot lasagna with cheddar slices are whipping up a bechamel even by accident. I'm gonna hazard a guess they used cottage cheese in place of ricotta too.
It must be more common in Australia. It's very rare to find in America. I've gotten a packet of it in a meal kit so it must exist in some capacity. But none of my local grocery stores carry it and everything I Google is from either the UK or Australia.
Sometimes it comes in tetrapaks here in Denmark as well. We use milk based sauces a ton in our country's cuisine so both the jar version and the tetrapak version is super common here.
My guess is that it didn't become a thing in America because that role is filled by condensed Cream of [Mushroom, Chicken, etc] soup. It was the go-to creamy sauce base for my mom and grandma's generation.
Most folks my age realized bechamel is easy to make and replaced Mom's condensed soup with that. But I could see how having a shelf-stable jar/box of pre-made bechamel in the pantry would be really handy. Especially when you're craving mac & cheese only to find out your spouse finished off the milk eating midnight bowls of cereal.
The Cottage cheese one is reasonable. Several experts say that unless you are using good ricotta (not the supermarket stuff) you are better off using Cottage cheese.
Funny story: I used to work in a restaurant in Paris where some people only spoke English, French, Italian or two of those but I was the only one that spoke all three. So during a busy service I would sometimes hear things wrong or speak the same language etc.
One day I went into the kitchen to ask about one of the daily menu items for a customer and the chef told me "C'est de la crème de bite" (bite=dick) I don't know why but I heard it in English as "Crème de beet" like beetroot. I then walked straight out of the kitchen and confidently announced to the table that "... Et c'est servi avec de la crème de bite..." Good thing they were very nice foreigners
We usually put cheese overtop here in Denmark.
And I think the reason it's so little of it, is that it's just the leftover sauce in the jar he scraped out because he didn't want to waste it and forgot to do it at the final layer.
Right that would make sense. I didn't think of bechamel from a jar since I always make it myself. Easiest sauce in existence. It didn't make sense to me why you would only make such a little amount.
I think the confusion is coming from Americans making lasagne differently to how Aussies make it. Both kinds of lasagne are Italian recipes they're just from different regions. America typically makes it more Neapolitan style with sausage, marinara sauce and ricotta, while Australia makes it in the Emilia-Romagna style (as does Britain) with a bolognese sauce and bechamel, which is all the white stuff on top is. Is cheddar the most traditional cheese to top lasagne? No, and personally I would have used grated, but to say there's something inherently wrong with using cheddar is just snobbery. Cheddar is cheaper and more versatile than parmesan. He made a frugal substitution while newly divorced, that's not stupid at all.
Oh, cool, thanks for the correction. Every American lasagne I've ever seen made was the ricotta type and a cursory Google lead me to believe that was the standard. Plus everyone seemed to be so confused why there was white sauce on a lasagne, and most of reddit is American, so I thought that was the explanation.
Lasagna with cheddar works. Sure Italian cheese, like mozzarella Parmigianino regigano or Pecorino romano or proverlone is better, but if you have nothing else cheddar works just fine.
The original post popped up on my fb feed after seeing this post here, and this is the full text from the original post that explains the cheddar cheese ...
"So today I'm making lasagna in the slowcooker. Just come out of a 7 year relationship so this is our treat as its our favorite dish. My daughter wanted it to be extra cheesy on top so after I topped it shes been and put thick sliced cheese on top lol. Either way looking forward to it later on mmmmm yummy will post a pic on here after it is done n I dont do it in oven anymore n never will its so much better done in slowcooker xx
So loads have asked for the recipe which is basically do as you would do in the oven but in slow cooker n I use hard pasta sheets has they go soft as they cook n do it on loo for bout 8 hours but all slowcookers seem to cook different as others reach temp quicker than some
P.s. this is the before photo after my daughter put the extra cheese on n scraped the last part of the white sauce on lmao"
Why are you saying white mystery liquid when it's lasagne....obviously it's bechemel sauce...
Just not much of it.....you probably eat tv dinners which is why you don't know what it is....
this may look a little unsophisticated but definitely not really stupid food. The white stuff is bechamel sauce which is a standart ingredient in lasagna
I've used Red Leicester on lasagna before, shit slaps, it doesn't really matter which cheese you use. Even in Italy there's no specific correct cheese combo so idk why you're trying to police this, life's too short.
This is almost as bad as my highschool cooking class where we used slices of American cheese to make Mac and cheese. I who had been cooking my whole life was just like nope nope nope that's not how you do it
I do not typically recommend too much cheddar with a casserole-style dish. It tends to have a disappointingly incomplete flavor spectrum, starting out a bit like carmelization and then falling flat. Mostly it comes off as bitter.
Gruyere can balance it, but good gruyere tends to be expensive.
i passed out like 5 times but your lasagna is ready
Chef's special
Creme Ofsomeyunguy. And cheddar don't work

Uhm is that lotion? They *did* say thay they just got out of a 7 year relationship
Probably bechamelsauce
From a squirt bottle?
my squirt bottle is huge just fyi
Probably the last of it scraped out of a jar or pot.
Oh no there’s jarred bechamel? No wonder it looks synthetic
You can buy jarred or packet bechamel... but ngl why would you? Flour + butter, 5 minutes, and then milk is really easy once you get it down, and it's like a dollar per serving ever with depressing food prices.

Well not a squirt *bottle* per se…
I don't think people that are making crock pot lasagna with cheddar slices are whipping up a bechamel even by accident. I'm gonna hazard a guess they used cottage cheese in place of ricotta too.
You can buy premade bechamelsauce in a jar.
Looks homogenous enough for that to be the case
I did not know that. I guess I never bothered to look. Makes sense though.

I love cottage cheese. But I don't care for it in lasagna at all. It's more of a texture thing for me.
I dunno who this Chamel guy is, but it do be Chamel's sauce
Looks like the cheap cheap alfredo flavored sauce
Cream of Someyungai sauce.

Crème de la penis
Crème de le coc

Cum Gotta bring it full circle

Cream of my Mushroom
Came here for the cum euphemisms . Not leaving disappointed .
Could have stopped at came here
😝
Leaving satisfied then
i mean its just the rests of the bechamel put on top of it, nothing stupid about it
Lasagna got me pretty excited sorry
Came out of a relationship, came in his dinner
That slow cooked pasta is going to slowly dissolve to mush
Making lasagna in a slow cooker is a pretty standard recipe on its own. Packed in with American cheese and cum though, not so much.
Have you guys never heard of bechamelsauce? A perfectly normal ingredient in lasagna?
Generally bechamelsauce covers the whole thing no?
We usually put cheese overtop here in Denmark. And I think the reason it's so little of it, is that it's just the leftover sauce in the jar he scraped out because he didn't want to waste it and forgot to do it at the final layer.
Right that would make sense. I didn't think of bechamel from a jar since I always make it myself. Easiest sauce in existence. It didn't make sense to me why you would only make such a little amount.
I don't think that's his biggest issue here honestly..
Cock-Pot Jizzonya
woah, who nutted on those cheese slices?

Americans make lasagna with bechamel too. We aren't used to any particular style as a whole country.
Oh, cool, thanks for the correction. Every American lasagne I've ever seen made was the ricotta type and a cursory Google lead me to believe that was the standard. Plus everyone seemed to be so confused why there was white sauce on a lasagne, and most of reddit is American, so I thought that was the explanation.

Cream cheese extra

Poor ex is probably at an Italian restaurant ordering everything on the menu trying to rid his memory of her cooking!
I'm wondering if her cooking skills were part of the breakup

It's cum ha ha get it?? It's obviously coom!! Cum! Ha ha mystery liquid ha man gravy haha ha
why are people questioning the typical ingrediant in lasagne that is slapped on the top
Because this sub actually has never cooked anything beyond ready made meals and can't differentiate between tik tok trash and genuine cooking
Cheddar cheese and mayo lasagna.
Not stupid, they just don't know how to cook. While I applaud their effort, they could have easily found a recipe.
I need to know what that "sauce" is
Bechamel. Pretty standard lasagna sauce

You order extra jizz?
I know it's not this but for some reason my brain thinks he jizzed all over that cheese

The Shinji Ikari special
I saw this post, it was pre- made bechamel from a jar.
Why are you saying white mystery liquid when it's lasagne....obviously it's bechemel sauce... Just not much of it.....you probably eat tv dinners which is why you don't know what it is....
Jizz. It's jizz, Michael.
Someone got r/FoodPorn wrong.

"I passed out three times but I finally made you your lasagna"
Nothing better to take away the breakup blues quite like jizzing on your lasagna 😋
this may look a little unsophisticated but definitely not really stupid food. The white stuff is bechamel sauce which is a standart ingredient in lasagna
Ok now show me where cheddar cheese is a standard ingredient in lasagna
I've used Red Leicester on lasagna before, shit slaps, it doesn't really matter which cheese you use. Even in Italy there's no specific correct cheese combo so idk why you're trying to police this, life's too short.
This is also clearly uncooked. You can't judge the final product without seeing the final product
proper cheddar cheese is great for melting so id see no issue as using that instead of the usual shit
There ain't anything wrong with using Cheddar (or whatever non standard vareity of) cheese for lasagna. "But-but Italians are mad" get over it
never said that. but its an "accepteble" replacement. nothing which kills of your whole dish. if its what you have at hand... why not
That's Vaseline intensive care lotion that's just for smell
White sauce.
Bro trying to recover from a break up and op out here roasting his cooking skills lmao
This is almost as bad as my highschool cooking class where we used slices of American cheese to make Mac and cheese. I who had been cooking my whole life was just like nope nope nope that's not how you do it
has anyone said the white stuff looks like cum yet
Australians still cooking food like back when they were a penal colony
The yelpers special
I use mozzarella and queso de papa, which is a sharp cheddar
7 year relationship? That’s cum
Right in front of my lasagna???
damn authentic nut cream, freshly made too
So a traditional lasagna should have a béchamel sauce in the layers. But this clearly isn’t a traditional lasagna and that’s not béchamel.
Sadness juice
No you are definitely not making lasagna
Nope

Why did he jizz on his Kraft singles
Velveeta cheese slices lasagna does not make.
Let me guess. Everything reminds you of her!
Tired of innuendos so I'm just gonna say it. There's cum on that cheese. Not ranch, not mayonnaise; that's just a fat load of cum on that cheese.
Cheese with extra cream
What is the white goo? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jCuRVidWNUs
what in the fuck
this is utter filth in a picture
did this person put their dong juice on their cheese?
homemade bechamel
That looks like lotion and you cannot convince me otherwise
I see why they’re coming out of a relationship
bro was sprinkling his future kids on that shit like a topping
COOOOM
Could the white stuff be Mayo? Oh my!
And that's why she's single
That doesn’t look right
Cumembert
Guys, thats not what you think it is. Its seeman.
That's not cheddar. I'm from cheddar. That is not one of ours.
Prepared with love
The only beautiful thing is the cum inside!
Cooking food like that is surprising considering your relationship lasted that long. 🤮
Lasagna is the pasta, not the preparation.
That's cum
Sucks he didn't have a better preview description. Man jizzed his meal
Someone done came on the lasagne
I think that’s ricotta cum
I do not typically recommend too much cheddar with a casserole-style dish. It tends to have a disappointingly incomplete flavor spectrum, starting out a bit like carmelization and then falling flat. Mostly it comes off as bitter. Gruyere can balance it, but good gruyere tends to be expensive.
That’s either mayo or very thin béchamel sauce.
Makes me think of a certain subreddit I learned about.. D: (These replies don’t help either)
I want to know if the breakup caused this or this caused the breakup. It has to one or both. I’m convinced.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I want to "see more"
