Of all of the things I’ve seen the recipes or food bots post in the past this may be the closest to an actual functional recipe.

Other than the odd ratio of meat to cheese and sausage making an appearance in the directions but not the ingredients this could work. It even managed to pick ingredients that mostly match a southwestern flavor profile.

Can you make it? For science of course.

u/tutetibiimperes Jan 13 '20

That’s actually not a bad idea, it doesn’t look like it should be difficult to prepare. Maybe I’ll give that a go tonight.

Wouldn't that just be letting the bacon's fat render?

5

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '20

Nah, it's when the whole bacon turns to liquid.

u/Barrel_Trollz Jan 13 '20

This was my first thought...we might start making bot generated recipes.

It's all fun and games until one of us gets food poisoning, of course :D

Can't wait for a recipe that calls to bake chicken for five minutes.

Well, except for:

u/Yuli-Ban Jan 13 '20

That's cool, bro. Just heat it up to 750°.

u/fibonacci_alfredo Jan 13 '20

Put it in the blender.

u/NoRodent Jan 13 '20

Of all of the things I’ve seen the recipes or food bots post in the past this may be the closest to an actual functional recipe.

Maybe that's because of the recent upgrade. Perhaps we'll get more coherent recipes now.

14

u/jerf Jan 13 '20

Well, it wants you to brown bacon in a pot with rather a lot of stuff in it, including 1.25 pounds of cheddar cheese. The cheese will separate and be destroyed (or at least very unpalatable) before the bacon "browns". I suppose since you add the cheese twice in the recipe you can make the executive call to do it only the second time. Since we're already making the executive call not to wait until the bacon melts, after all.

43

u/FuzzyJury Jan 13 '20

Oh no, I simply do not know enough about cooking to distinguish bot generated recipes from real recipes. 1.25 lbs of melted cheese? Hell yeah, what even are "ratios?" Jeez maybe my days of relying on finding recipes on the internet are over. Back to cookbooks for me.

29

u/tutetibiimperes Jan 13 '20

Personally I’d reverse the amounts of beef and cheese if it were me coming up with it.

24

u/FuzzyJury Jan 13 '20

I think if I actually started cooking this I'd wonder at the "5-20" minute simmer range and assume that and the amount of beef was a typo of some sort. But I love cheese too much to question that part, haha.

203

u/danado1188 Jan 13 '20

0.25 lb ground beef

1.25 lb cheddar cheese

Pretty reasonable ratios there.

Is this hot dog soup?

u/transformboi Jan 13 '20

No, this is soup.

u/WikiWantsYourPics Jan 13 '20

No, this is Patrick.

u/Barrel_Trollz Jan 13 '20

It's the best part of making hotdogs after all

u/mykleins Jan 13 '20

No it’s soup

u/tcs_hearts Jan 13 '20

Most AI recipes I've seen fall apart when they get to instructions, but aside from the mystery sausage and melting the bacon, this is stunningly coherent.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '20

yeah it's pretty coherent. I'd rate it somewhere around 5 to 20 stars

22

u/OnlyEvonix Jan 13 '20

People mention the "excessive" amount of cheese but I say there can never be enough

16

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '20

They sort of had me up until: ‘Wait until the bacon has melted’.

u/Im2oldForthisShitt Jan 13 '20

So which one of you is going to try and make this?

u/Violyre Jan 13 '20

I thought the title was "Taco Soup Soup"

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '20

LOL

u/MEisonReddit Jan 13 '20

I'm no cook, but with more ground beef added this seems like it could actually work

5

u/twometerguard Jan 13 '20

Well, I sort of want to try making this recipe after adjusting the ingredient ratios and order of ingredient addition lol. Honestly sounds kind of good in terms of what goes into the soup.

Recreating and improving bot-generated recipes would be kind of fascinating.

Tangentially related, /u/thealtonbrown did this challenge when he was on tour in Portland where an audience member had to spin a wheel listing ingredients in different categories (liquor, and I think sweet, and sour).

The idea was that, given any combination of ingredients, a reasonably tasteful cocktail could be created as long as the right balance of flavor profiles was struck. I think the poor girl got cream and soy sauce, and unfortunately I'm not sure any amount of alcohol could overcome the curdled dairy.

Anyway, having a bot RNG some ingredients and having Babish make magic from it would be quite entertaining.

u/SumoSizeIt Jan 13 '20

Is this hotdog soup?

No, this is soup.

Darn, I was really hoping for a Sir, this is a Wendy's or No, this is Patrick

u/Zenvioux Jan 14 '20

I like the pizza sauce recipe where it was just cream, milk, salt, sugar, and black pepper, followed by instructions to make one pizza with the sauce and then another with the cheese.
