Binging with Babish: Cheesy Blasters from 30 Rock

[TV clip begins] "all right cheesy blasters you take a hot dog stuff it with some Jack cheese folded in a pizza you got cheesy blasters and then all the kids say thanks Meat Cat and then Meat Cat flies away on his um skateboard" "I can't eat this" [TV clip ends] hey what's up guys welcome back to binging with babish where this week you might be wondering is this the new kitchen? no it's not it is my alma mater high schools learning kitchen when they've been kind enough to let me come back and experiment on their students, with cheesy blaster. it's a recipe that involves jack cheese hot dogs and of course pizza so we're gonna start by oven baking our frozen pizza. I'm going with frozen supermarket bought ingredients here because I imagine this is what liz is talking about. one of those frozen snacks that are part of the ongoing public effort to make children less healthy so we're gonna do is the song says. We're gonna take some hot dogs stuffing with some Jack cheese and then fold them in a pizza I later found it more effective to butterfly the hot dog entirely and place the cheese into its gaping maw covering for maximum meltage. I'm also doing a backup pizza here that first pizza was a little overdone for my taste but it'll do for a practice round I'm gonna start by trying to make a sort of individual cheesy blaster that is cutting a strip out of my pizza, placing a single hot dog in the center, and rolling to completion. let's take a look at the cross-section here.. nothing really to write home about but, we have to do it according to the binging with babish bylaws and be careful with your first bite because it's gonna remind you just how hot cheese is physically capable of becoming and also maybe opted for some regular hot dogs because these natural casing joints were just making it too difficult to eat. so let's try again this time with an I think more appropriate pepperoni pizza and two cheese stuffed hotdogs the entire thing rolled into one horrific package. not only will this be more impressive to your dinner guests but also it's gonna make I think for a better cross-section. let's take a look oh yeah, now that's a cheesy blaster, now if you're 30 years old like me and you don't want to die in 3 years you got an invite the culinary Club at your high school the Tang gang. come on in here guys, these kids were kind enough to invite me to their school and now they get to eat this thing have at it guys. I'm gonna go have some kale or something... yeah look at these animals go, disgusting breathtaking. alright thanks guys now let's take a break from corrupting America's youth and try making a babish version of the cheezy blaster which I think can only the form of a calzone. what I've got here is a pretty simple pizza dough if you want to see how to make pizza dough go check out the video in the upper right hand corner, now, and since this recipe is good for about four small pies I'm going to take a quarter of the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface stretching and rolling if necessary into maybe a 14-inch round. standing in for hot dogs I've got some spicy Italian sausage here and I've got three different kinds of salami. I figure that's good enough for Meat Cat and standing in for jack cheese is some low moisture mozzarella, now let's start by saucing the inside of our calzone normally we wouldn't do this I've served sauce on the side but we got to try and be slightly true to form here. top it with some mozzarella some of our chopped salamis, followed by a bit of our Italian sausage and how about some ricotta since the original cheesy blaster also had two different kinds of cheese. we're gonna fold this guy up just like a big ol calzone using a sort of empanada folding method around the edge to crimp it closed we're then going to use a serrated knife to cut three steam vents in the top if you don't this thing's gonna pop in the oven and normally we use a brush to brush the whole thing down with egg yolk but they don't have any so I'll be sending them one in the mail. about 20 minutes later and it totally matched that oven and we've got ourselves a lovely looking calzone. let this guy rest for like ten minutes before cutting into it otherwise you might burn your little fingers out and dig in making sure to document a hearty cheese stretch this is after all a cheesy blaster and of course here to help me induct it into the clean plate club is the Tang gang thank you guys for having me back to your school and please make healthier life choices than I do.

Thanks Meatcat!

See here’s where I’m upset, and I know i’m insane for caring this much about home made Cheesy Blasters, but I think it’s what Liz would want.

His first Go was obviously in jest with the frozen pizza etc. But then he just completely ignored what a cheesy blaster should be and made a calzone. I love a calzone. But he was supposed to show me home made quality Cheesy Blasters. I trusted this man.

I’d have really liked to see him make some individual size, true to form CB’s. Get some decent dogs, like some Viennas or Nathans or such. Cut them in 1/3’s and jack cheese stuff them. Then even a basic biscuit dough with some saucy and cheese and maybe pepperoni wrap it up and bake it.

This whole video just made Meatcat sad.

"Standing in for hot dogs I've got some spicy Italian sausage here... and standing in for jack cheese is some low moisture mozzarella."

So, you just wanted to make a calzone. Use a good WHOLE sausage and stuff that weiner with some damn jack cheese. Put that in the calzone with your meats, sauce, and more hot cheese, and then you can say it's a Cheesy Blasters.

The Babish version of a Cheesy Blaster, which I think can only take the form of a calzone.

The 30 Rock/Parks and Rec crossover we never got.

Great now the theme song is going to be stuck in my head all day. "First you take a hot dog..."
