100 Favorite Copycat Recipes

Here is my personal list of my favorite copycat recipes. Over the years people ask me what are my favorite copycat recipes, and here is my list of my personal favorite recipes. This collection is written in order of restaurant, now the actual blog contains many more recipes, but here are my favorites.

People ask me all of the time what is my favorite recipe. I have to say hands down it is the Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce. For me, this was the recipe that got it all started.

Do copycat recipes really taste like restaurant recipes?

  • Copycat recipes can taste very similar to restaurant recipes
  • Often restaurant recipes are made with common ingredients everyone can find in their kitchen
  • You can can duplicate many of your favorite restaurant meals by recreating the recipe at home
  • Some restaurant recipes really aren't special or made with secret ingredients
  • Many of the most popular restaurant dishes are really classic dishes that we already know and love

      • You can make vegetarian sausage gravy that is excellent using Morningstar frozen sausage crumbles. Pour about 1/4 to 1/3 c oil in frying pan. Bring to high temp. and pour 1/2 bag of crumbles in pan and fry until crisp. Cover with 1/2 c. flour and stir until all granuals are covered and crispy. Slowly pour milk over the flour mixture and stir constantly until thickened. I add Liquid Smoke (about 10 drops), garlic powder 3/4 t., salt, pepper, and some seasoned salt to taste. Let thicken and pour over baked biscuits (split and butter each separately). This makes about 3-4 c. of thick gravy. Put left overs in frig. and when ready to eat just add a slight amount of added milk and put in the microwave to eat.
