French Market Onion Soup.
2007-03-18 07:53:00
You might not imagine a tough World War II flying ace would open a restaurant called"Mimi's," but that's exactly what happened in the 70's. Arthur J. Simms flew spy missions over France during the war and helped liberate a small French town near Versailles. After the war Arthur ran the commissary at MGM studios in Hollywood, stuffing the bellies of big-time celebs like Judy Garland, Clark Gable and Mickey Rooney. He later joined his son Tom in several restaurant ventures including one called "French Quarter" in West Hollywood. This was the prototype for the French-themed Mimi's Cafe. In 1978, the first Mimi's opened in Anaheim, California. Today there's over 40 Mimi's in the chain with a new one opening every other week; all of them serving this amazing onion soup that can now be part of your culinary repertoire. Oui!1/4 cup butter3 medium white onions, sliced3 14-ounce cans beef broth (Swanson is best)1 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon garlic powder3 tablespoons Kraft grated parmesan

Lone Star Steakhouse Baked Sweet Potato
2007-01-12 15:09:00
It saddles on up next to your entree at this huge steakhouse chain, but it's not what it claimsto be. Sure, the menu says "baked sweet potato," but you're actually getting a sweet and tenderred-skinned yam underneath all that yummy melted butter and cinnamon/sugar. And don't justget any yam for this top secret clone. You want to use garnet yams, if you have a choice. Then be sure to cook them long enough that the sugar in the yams begins to squirt out and burn in acouple of spots. Each yam should be tender, but not mushy. The skin on the outside will turnfrom red to greyish-brown, and inside it will be a hearty shade of black.4 garnet yams3 tablespoons granulated sugar1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon1/2 cup whipped butter1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake yams for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When they are done, they will bevery soft in the center, and you will see liquid from the potato oozing out and charring.

Kraft Shake'n Bake.
2006-12-31 06:25:00
Need a recipe that copies Shake 'n Bake in a pinch? Or maybe you don't feel like coughing up the dough for the real thing. Here's the TSR solution for a quick clone that will give you the same texture and flavor of Kraft Shake'n Bake using very common ingredients. You may notice the color is a bit different in this clone when compared to the real thing. That's because this recipe doesn't include beet powder -- a hard-to-find ingredient that lends a dark orange tint to the original. But sink your teeth into the chicken (baked the same way as described on the Shake'n Bake box) and you'll swear it's the same stuff.1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon corn flake crumbs2 teaspoons all-purpose flour1 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon paprika1/4 teaspoon sugarscant 1/4 teaspoon garlic powderscant 1/4 teaspoon onion powder1.Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.2.Prepare chicken following the same technique as described on the box of the original mix using 2 1/2 lb. of bone -in chic


KFC Potato Salad.
2006-12-31 06:22:00
Here's a simple clone for the potato salad that is purchased as a side dish from America's largest fast food chicken chain. Some of the skin is left on the potatoes in the real thing, so you don't have to peel them too thoroughly (great news for lazy cooks like me!). Just be sure to chop your potatoes into cubes that are approximately 1/2-inch thick, and then let the salad marinate for at least 4 hours so that the flavors can properly develop. If you let the salad chill overnight, ittastes even better. Tune in for more KFC clone recipes each week this month!2 pounds russet potatoes1 cup mayonnaise4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish4 teaspoons sugar2 teaspoons minced white onion2 teaspoons prepared mustard1 teaspoon vinegar1 teaspoon minced celery1 teaspoon diced pimentos1/2 teaspoon shredded carrot1/4 teaspoon dried parsley1/4 teaspoon pepperdash salt1.Lightly peel the potatoes (you don't have to get all of the skin off) then chop them into bite-size pieces and boil in 6 cups of boilin

2006-12-31 06:19:00
Here's a clone for another of KFC's famous side dishes. We'll use easy-to-melt Velveeta as the main ingredient for the cheese sauce with its very smooth texture. Then a bit of cheddar cheese is added to give the sauce a sharp cheddary zing like the original. It's a very simple recipe that will take only 15 minutes to prepare. That's great news if you're a lazy cook like me who wants to dig right into the tasty vittles.6 cups water1 1/3 cups elbow macaroni4 ounces Velveeta cheese1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese2 tablespoons whole milk1/4 teaspoon salt1.Bring water to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan.

KFC Cole Slaw.
2006-12-31 06:17:00
If you've ever seen a clone recipe for KFC Cole Slaw floating around on the Internet, it probably looks like this. That's because this formula has become one of the most copied & pasted recipes from the first book, "Top Secret Recipes." It's also one of the most requested recipes on the TSR Message Board. So, to fulfill all those requests, and to stake claim to a recipe that's rarely sourced as a TSR original, here's the killer recipe to clone the world's best slaw. And, because I love to out-clone the "copycats", I'm going to take it one step further. Tune in nextweek for an original version of this clone recipe that tastes just like the real thing but includes only five ingredients...and is completely fat free! Don't be lieve it?

It's the Rice Krispies Treat for all you chocolate lovers.

Hot Dog on a Stick Hot Dog.
2006-12-26 14:04:00
One hot summer day in 1946 Dave Barham was inspired to dip a hot dog into his mother'scornbread batter, then deep fry it to a golden brown. The first Hot Dog on a Stick was born, andDave soon found a quaint Santa Monica, California location near the beach to offer his newcreation along with a tall glass of ice-cold lemonade and mustard on the side.The chain uses only turkey dogs for this treat, so we'll do the same. Just be sure you find the shorter dogs, not "bun-length." This time size does matter. For the stick, simply snag some of the disposable wood chopsticks from a local Chinese or Japanese food restaurant next time you're there.2 cups flour3/4 cup corn meal1/2 cup sugar1 3/4 teaspoons salt1 teaspoon baking soda1 3/4 cups fat-free milk2 egg yolks, slightly beaten10 turkey hot dogs8-10 cups of vegetable oil5 pairs of chopsticks1.Preheat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 375 degrees.2.Combine the flour, corn meal, sugar, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.3.Combine the milk and e

Got one of those cool hand blenders? You know, the kind of gadget that used to be pitched onthose annoying yet compelling late-night infomercials? It comes in handy for this recipe, whichrequires the split peas to be smashed into a smooth consistency, just like the original. If you don't have a hand mixer, a standard blender works just fine. This soup is very tasty and very low in fat. And the barley gives it a special chunky consistency and added flavor that isn't found in most pea soups.2 cups split peas6 cups water2 14.5-ounce cans chicken broth (4 cups)1/3 cup minced onion1 large clove garlic, minced2 teaspoons lemon juice1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon granulated sugar1/4 teaspoon dried parsley1/4 teaspoon white pepperdash dried thyme1/2 cup barley6 cups water2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 cup)1/2 stalk celery, diced (1/4 cup)Garnishchopped green onion1.Rinse and drain the split peas, then add them to a large pot with 6 cups of water, chickenbroth, onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt,

If you already have a recipe that claims to be a clone for this delicious meatloaf...you can nowtoss it out, purge if from your hard drive, burn all hard copies. No clone recipe that I've foundyet -- and there are several circulating -- has come even close to the tender, tasty meatloaf youcan get from this popular chain. Don't be fooled! To make a REAL clone, first thing you've gotto do is use ground sirloin, just as the restaurant chain does. And then you need to know how tomake the special sauce that goes into the meatloaf and on top (no it's not ketchup and it's not V-8). And there's no minced onion in there (just look at it!), or onion soup mix for that matter. So,search no more for the perfect clone of Boston Market 's tasty meatloaf. You've now got theresult of days and days of vigorous testing.

As far as salad dressings go, this is one of the most requested, and tasty. At the Benihanachain of hibachi grill restaurants, you are served a side salad before your meal that is dousedwith this tangy, slightly sweet, fresh ginger dressing. This Top Secret Recipes version of thatdressing is a real cinch to make, once you've got the ingredients. Just dump everything into ablender, whiz it, and you're set. Although this recipe is inspired by the many variations of theclone recipe that are floating around (and that I have received by e-mail), you should know thatthis is an original never-before-published creation that comes closer to the original product thanany other version I have seen.

Applebee's Baked French Onion Soup.
2006-12-25 12:32:00
Don't even try to find this one on the menu at Applebee's, because it isn't there; though it's themost popular soup served each day at this huge restaurant chain. This is the first of several bigtime soup clones we'll unveil here in the next few weeks to help get you through the cold winter months. And they're all a cinch to make. Just be sure you have some oven-safe soup bowls for this one, since we'll have to broil it a bit before serving. Under the gooey melted provolone of the original version you get from Applebee's is a unique round crouton that's made from bread similar to a hamburger bun.

McDonald's Yogurt Parfait.
2008-02-01 20:00:53
This one's super easy to make, plus it's low fat and delicious. The yogurt in the original is very sweet and creamy, like Yoplait. So that's the brand that you should use, although any brand of vanilla yogurt will work fine. If you use Yoplait, you'll need two 6-ounce containers of the stuff per serving. For the granola, just look for one that contains mostly oats. It should be crunchy and sweet (such as "maple" flavor) and can also include puffed rice bits. You can even make these a day or two ahead of time. Keep them covered in the fridge, and hold off on the granola topping until you serve 'em up or it'll get mighty soggy.4 cups vanilla-flavored low-fat yogurt (or 8 6-ounce containers of Yoplait)2 10-ounce boxes sliced strawberries with sugar added, thawed1/3 cup frozen blueberries, tha

McDonald's BigXtra.
2008-01-20 19:01:07
McDonald's roll-out of the BigXtra! is another bomb dropped on the battlefield of the latest burger war. Burger King took the first shot by introducing the Big King - a pretty good clone of McDonald's signature Big Mac, with a bit more meat and no middle bun. Then Mickey D's fired back with a clone of Burger King's popular Whopper, to be exact. That's just under 5 ounces of ground beef, stacked on a huge sesame seed bun, with the same ingredients you would find piled on the Whopper - lettuce, onion, tomato, ketchup, mayo, and pickles. Plus McDonald's addition of a special spice sprinkled on the beef as it cooks. It's all very tasty. Especially if you like Whoppers. Today the Big Xtra! is less extra, having been shrunk down and renamed Big 'N Tasty.1 large sesame seed bun (4 3/4-inch

McDonald's Lobster Sandwich.
2008-01-20 18:56:16
Yes, this actually exists. On an excursion through some New England states I practically drove off the road when I first saw a sign advertising lobster at this fast food chain. I just had to get a closer look. That's when I discovered that this unique sandwich is served only at select McDonald 's locations, mostly in Maine, for a limited time only during the summer months. It's basically a lobster salad served on a hoagie roll with some lettuce, but with fresh Maine lobster, is quite tasty.Since you can't get this anywhere else, I figured this sandwich was a prime candidate for kitchen cloning. Here's a recipe to make a version of your own that has never before been published.1\2 cup cooked Maine Lobster (fresh is best)1\2 tablespoon mayonnaisepinch salt1 lettuce leafsmall hoagie roll1. Mix

McDonald's Arch Deluxe.
2008-01-20 18:53:14
In 1996, McDonald 's set out to target more educated tastebuds in a massive advertising campaign for its newest burger creation. We watched while Ronald McDonald golfed, danced, and leisurely hung out with real-life grown-up humans, instead of the puffy Mayor McCheese and that bunch of wacko puppets. Supposedly the Arch Deluxe , with the "Adult Taste", would appeal to those dancers and golfers and anyone else with a sophisticated palate. But let's face it, we're not talking Beef Wellington here. The Arch Deluxe is just a hamburger, after all, with only a couple of elements that set it apart from the other menu items. The big difference is the creamy brown mustard spread on the sandwich right next to the ketchup. And the burger is assembled on a sesame seed potato roll (which actually tastes

McDonald's Big Mac Sauce - Special Sauce.
2008-01-20 18:43:09
If you like Big Macs, it's probably because of that tasty "secret" spread that is plopped onto both decks of the world's most popular double-decker hamburger. So what's so specialabout this sauce? After all, it's basically just thousand island dressing, right? Pretty much. But this sauce has a bit more sweet pickle relish in it than a typical thousand island salad slather. Also, I found that this clone comes close to the original with the inclusion of French dressing. It's an important ingredient - ketchup just won't do it. That, along with a sweet & sour flavor that comes from vinegar and sugar, makes this sauce go well on any of your home burger creations, whether they're Big Mac clones or not. This is the closest "special sauce" clone you'll find anywhere.1/2 cup mayonnaise2 tablesp
