(funky, upbeat music)
- Hey guys, it's me Jasmine.
We're outside today
because we are going to test some TikTok camping hacks.
We're going to tell you if they taste good
and if they're worth it or not.
But, it wouldn't be camping without some of my friends.
- I love camping!
- I love camping?
- It's going to be fun, guys.
- We're just missing a pool.
- Where's the cabana?
- There's no pool in the forest.
It's all about the dirt.
- Bring Katie on your camping trip.
- Let's go make some food.
- Okay, that's the idea. - Yeah.
- Alright.
- We can all agree on food. - Yes.
(upbeat music)
- I'm up first and I found this
one pan mac and cheese recipe on TikTok.
I'm a little skeptical about this recipe
because it calls for two different kinds of milk.
And I feel like that's taken up a lot of space in my cooler
where a margarita should be going.
So we'll have to see if this recipe is worth it.
I'm also a little nervous about the cook time,
but let's see if it works.
So for my version, I'm going to start
with 1 lb of elbow noodles.
And then I'm going to add two types of cheese.
I'm adding some shredded Monterey Jack cheese
for the creaminess, and then some sharp cheddar
just to add a little bit of that bite.
Next, I'm going to add some whole milk and some heavy cream.
The key is to do both,
it really adds to the richness and creaminess.
Some bacon bits because everything's better with bacon.
I mean, come on.
Season with a little salt, pepper,
because Katie likes pepper.
- [Katie] You know it. - This is for her.
- [Jasmine] Yum.
- [Kelly] Then I'm gonna add half a stick of melted butter.
Alright, I'm just going to stir this up
until everything is evenly combined.
And I'm going to cover it with aluminum foil,
make sure it's sealed tight.
And put it over my fire for about one hour.
So I'm cooking over hot embers and not direct flame.
So this has been cooking for about 30 minutes,
as you can see, it's still super liquidy.
I did see someone on TikTok
bake this in the oven before they went camping
and then they used the grill to reheat it.
So, I think I'm going to go try that and then report back.
This is out of the oven.
I'm going to put my finishing touches on it
and see how it tastes.
And for the extra punch,
I'm going to top my mac and cheese
with some flaming hot Cheetos.
Let's see if it was worth it
bringing all that milk instead of the margaritas.
Let's taste it guys.
- Oh, let me go in. Okay.
Mmmm.
Whoa, it's good.
- Yeah, it's good.
What do you think of the hot Cheetos?
- I really like the hot Cheetos on top, it's a nice crunch.
- The bacon.
- The only fail on this is that you've cooked it inside.
That's not your fault. It was taking too long to cook.
It would've wasted too much wood.
- A little more at home prep.
- Final thoughts is, I think it tastes really good,
but I don't know if it's worth it to assemble it all,
put it in your cooler and then have to reheat it.
- So final rating?
- Thumbs up.
- Up.
- Middle.
Are you guys ready for my next one?
- Yeah, let's try the pizza.
- Lets do it!
- [Group] Woohoo!
- For my Tik Tok hack,
I have chosen a really, really simple one.
It really involves only one ingredient, frozen pizza.
So if your friends last minute,
we're like you're in charge of lunch or dinner.
You can run to the store and pick up a pizza
and let it thaw in your car on the way to the campsite.
The best part about this
is it's really, really customizable.
So I have let a pepperoni pizza thaw
and I'm going to add just some jalapeños.
They don't need to be refrigerated.
It's easy to take with you on the camping trip.
Just place those all around
and then roll your pizza into a spiral. Nice and tight.
Oh my goodness. It's breaking.
I think we needed a more doughier dough.
Be honest with you, that's not great.
It's like an earthquake happened to this pizza.
This is such a fail. We're still going to eat this.
I'm just going to go bake it later.
(Katie sobs)
So we have a second pizza everyone.
We're going to try this again.
This was in the refrigerated section,
so we're hoping it's a bit more doughy.
Adding jalapenos,
sliced them a little bit thinner this time.
I don't know.
This doesn't feel promising, guys.
It's like a Swiss roll.
You might have some cracks, but it might be okay.
Okay. Okay.
Some stuff fell out, but we've got a roll.
Once we've got that log,
we'll cut it into individual slices.
The bigger, the better Kelly says.
Ready? Woo!
And put these guys in a foil pouch, close up the pouch,
ready to go on the fire.
We're going to let these guys cook for about 30 minutes or
until they're cooked all the way through.
It's basically like a cinnamon roll, but with a pizza.
So we have our pizza off the fire and it's time to see
what it looks like.
Ooh. A lot of steam coming out of here.
Oh, definitely cooked through.
The cheese is melted.
It doesn't look as pretty as I was hoping.
And this is after about 30 minutes.
Last thing we need to do is get Jasmine and Kelly
and see if they like it.
All right. Pizza time.
- It smells good.
- It smells good. It doesn't look amazing.
But you're camping.
- Yeah.
- So I would have used..
- Non-stick spray.
All right, let's go in.
Oh, I got a jalapeno.
Ooh, ready?
- Hmm. It's good.
It was good pizza, but those jalapeños cooked.
So the benefits of the roll is it kind of feels
like a sandwich or all of its all mushed together.
- When you're camping,
not everyone's hungry at the same time.
So you can just take one roll, throw it on the fire.
It's more convenient.
- Totally.
- This is worth it.
- How many thumbs up?
- Two.
- Two thumbs up.
- Six thumbs up!
- Woo!
- Jasmine, I think it's your turn.
- Oh, it's dessert time, baby.
- We've done savory. Now it's time for dessert.
Strawberry s'mores.
And I think camping's not camping without s'mores.
Although easy, it involves strawberries over a fire,
which means warm strawberries.
And I don't really know how I feel about it,
but Katie was pretty excited about it.
- [Katie] It's going to be good.
- We'll see.
So super simple. You just take a strawberry,
put it on a skewer and then take your strawberry.
Dip it in marshmallow cream. Get it over the fire.
I like mine. Nice and toasted.
Just slightly burnt. That smokiness is amazing.
It's so hot.
- Jasmine.
- What?
- It's camping. Oh, I also,
You guys like my knees?
- I love your knees.
Those aren't long red socks?
(overlapping speech)
- Guys, I went on vacation and burned my leg.
(Jasmine coughs)
- Jasmine. You're so weak.
Jasmine, I do have a question.
- What?
- Why are you wearing long sleeves?
- Because I don't like the sun hitting my skin.
- Do you have smoke? Do you wanna trade spots?
- Yeah.
- You're just looking perfect in that location, though.
- Thank you.
- Let's go put on toppings.
Perfectly toasted.
After you've toasted to your liking,
use your favorite toppings.
I am going for a s'mores flavor
because that's what I'm craving.
So I am topping it with some chocolate syrup
and of course graham cracker crumbs.
- [Group] Cheers.
- These look really good.
- Whoa. You know what?
I think leaving the stems on is good
'cause you can hold it by the stem
and not get your hands as messy.
- I love the flavor.
I think Kelly had a really good idea earlier.
She mentioned that if we used frozen strawberries,
they might stay cold.
That is something that I would be willing to try.
It was just too warm for me.
- I love the warm strawberry. I love the sweet chocolate.
I love this sweet marshmallows with the char.
It was a hundred percent up thumbs.
- I'm with Jasmine on the warm fruit. It's too warm.
And it was so messy. Like it's too gooey.
Like I'd rather just eat it in a traditional way.
- Have you guys had a s'more? It's messy.
- That's way messier.
- How many up thumbs?
- I do one up thumb.
- It's just not worth it, so I'm gonna say no.
- And two up thumbs.
- That's the rating system.
- Makes sense.
- Yes, but no.
(group laughs)
Okay guys, that's it.
We're done. We're super full.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
We're going to go enjoy those margaritas
Kelly was talking about.
Let us know in the comments
if there are any other Tik Tok hacks you want us to try.
Until then...
- [Group] Bye!
- You guys, I thought we were going to the tent.
- Margaritas.
- The tent is fun.
- Oh, yes!
