300 Top Secret Restaurant Recipes - K

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y Z


KRAFT THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING


Here's a quick clone for one of the best-selling thousand

island dressings around. Use this one on salads or on burgers

(such as the In-N-Out Double-Double clone) as a homemade

"special sauce." It's easy, it's tasty, it's cheap and it

can be made low fat simply by using low-fat mayo. Dig it.


Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon white vinegar

2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish

1 teaspoon finely minced white onion

1/8 teaspoon salt

dash of black pepper


Preparation Method

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well.

2. Place dressing in a covered container and refrigerate for

several hours, stirring occasionally, so that the sugar dissolves

and the flavors blend.

Makes about 3/4 cup.



KRAFT SHAKE'N BAKE


Need a recipe that copies Shake'n Bake in a pinch?

Or maybe you don't feel like going to the store 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 after you 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. When

you're ready to get shaking and baking, use this breading on

2 1/2 pounds of chicken pieces or on 2 pounds of boneless,

skinless chicken breasts.


Ingredients

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon corn flake crumbs

2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon sugar

scant 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

scant 1/4 teaspoon onion powder


Preparation Method

1. 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 lbs. of bone-in chicken

(6 to 8 pieces, with or without skin) or 2 lbs. boneless skinless

chicken breast halves. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, then moisten

the chicken with water. Use a large plastic bag for the coating

and use the same steps as described on the original package:


"Shake moistened chicken, 1 to 2 pieces at a time, in shaker bag

with coating mixture. Discard any remaining mixture and bag. Bake

at 400 degrees in ungreased or foil-lined 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking

pan until cooked through -

BONE-IN: 45 minutes/BONELESS: 20 minutes."


Serves 4.


KRAFT DELUXE ORIGINAL MACARONI & CHEESE


It's time to clone America's best-selling brand of instant

macaroni & cheese. This recipe is for the "Deluxe" variety

of this popular product - that is, the one that comes with

an envelope of thick cheese sauce, rather than the dry,

powdered cheese. I think the "Deluxe" version, with it's

two-cheese blend, is the better tasting of the two, although

it's gonna hit you a bit harder in the wallet at the supermarket.

But now, with this Top Secret Recipe, you can make creamy

macaroni & cheese that taste like Kraft's original at a fraction

of the price of the real deal. You gotta love that!


Ingredients

8 cups water

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup Cheez Whiz

2 tablespoons whole milk

1/4 teaspoon salt


Preparation Method

1. Bring 8 cups (2 quarts) of water to a boil over high heat in

a large saucepan. Add elbow macaroni to water and cook for

10 to 12 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.

2. As macaroni boils, prepare sauce by combining cheddar cheese,

Cheez Whiz, and milk in a small saucepan over medium low heat.

Stir cheese mixture often as it heats, so that it does not burn.

Add salt. When all of the cheddar cheese has melted and the sauce

is smooth, cover pan and set aside until macaroni is ready.

3. When macaroni is ready, strain water, but do not rinse the

macaroni.

4. Using the same pan you prepared the macaroni in, combine the

macaroni with the cheese sauce, and mix well.

Makes about 4 cups.


KOO KOO ROO SANTA FE PASTA


With Southwestern-style dressing, corn, peppers and fresh cilantro,

this is an addicting clone from a quickly growing fast food concept.

Koo Koo Roo's "California Style" flame broiled and rotisserie

chicken meals come with a wide selection of very tasty side dishes,

including Tangy Tomato Salad, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Confetti

Rice. This cold Santa Fe Pasta salad is one of the favorites on the

meat until browned on first side (cook to 165∫F

vegetables, or as desired. Serves 4 to 6.



KFC POTATO SALAD


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. 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,

it tastes even better.


Ingredients

2 pounds russet potatoes

1 cup mayonnaise

4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish

4 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons minced white onion

2 teaspoons prepared mustard

1 teaspoon vinegar

1 teaspoon minced celery

1 teaspoon diced pimentos

1/2 teaspoon shredded carrot

1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

1/4 teaspoon pepper

dash salt


Preparation Method

1. 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 boiling, salted water for 7 to10 minutes. The potato chuncks

should be tender, yet slightly tough in the middle when done.

Drain and rinse potatoes with cold water.

2. In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and whisk until

smooth.

3. Poured drained potatoes into a large bowl. Pour the dressing

over the potatoes and mix until well combined.

4. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours. Overnight is best.

Makes 6 cups (about 8 servings).

1 Tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar

4 Tablespoons melted butter

2 teaspoons vanilla

Preparation Method

Preheat oven to 325-350∫F. Mix together the first seven

ingredients listed above. Stir in 2/3 cup pecan halves.

KFC OLD-FASHIONED HUCKLEBERRY CAKE

sugar into egg mixture and beat until light. Add extract. In

a separate bowl sift together baking powder, cake flour, salt.

Add the flour to the egg mixture alternately with milk. Beat well.

Fold in the berries and pour into an 8-inch cake pan. Bake about

35-40 minutes or until done.



KFC MACARONI AND CHEESE


Here's a clone for another of KFC's famous side dishes.

We'll use easy-to-melt Velveeta, with its very smooth

texture, as the main ingredient for the cheese sauce.

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. Weeell doggies!


Ingredients

6 cups water

1 1/3 cups elbow macaroni

4 ounces Velveeta cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons whole milk

1/4 teaspoon salt


Preparation Method

1. Bring water to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan.

Add elbow macaroni to the water and cook it for 10 to 12 minutes

or until tender, stirring occasionally.

2. While the macaroni is boiling, prepare the cheese sauce by

combining the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan over

low heat. Stir often as the cheese melts into a smooth consistency.

3. When the macaroni is done, strain it and then pour it back into

the same pan, without the water.

4. Add the cheese sauce to the pan and stir gently until the

macaroni is well coated with the cheese. Serve immediately while hot.

Makes about 3 servings.



KENTUCKY BISCUITS


Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon sugar

1 Tablespoon baking powder

2/3 cup milk

1/3 cup vegetable shortening


Preparation Method

Preheat oven to 425∫F. Sift together flour,

salt, sugar and baking powder into mixing bowl.

Make a well in the flour mix and add the milk.

Add shortening and begin kneading with hands

(to cut in) the vegetable shortening and flour

in the milk until thoroughly mixed. Add milk,

if needed to form, and mix. Turn onto floured

board, and knead gently 6 to 8 times. Pat dough

to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into biscuits. Place

on baking sheet and brown in oven 10-13 minutes.

Makes about 9 biscuits.



KFC HONEY BBQ WINGS


Once a regular menu item, these sweet, saucy wings are now

added to the KFC menu on a "limited-time-only" basis in many

markets. So how are we to get that sticky sauce all over our

faces and hands during those many months when we're cruelly

denied our Honey BBQ Wings? Now it's as easy as whipping up a

clone that re-creates a crispy breading on the chicken wings,

and then slathering those puppies in a tasty knock-off of the

sweet, tangy honey BBQ sauce. "Limited-time-only" signs -

we laugh in your direction!


Ingredients

Sauce

1 1/4 cup ketchup

1/3 cup white vinegar

1/4 cup molasses

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon liquid smoke

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon chili powder


6 to 8 cups vegetable shortening

1 egg, beaten

1 cup milk

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons salt

3/4 teaspoon pepper

3/4 teaspoon MSG

20 chicken wing pieces


Preparation Method

1. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium

heat. Stir until ingredients are well combined and bring to a boil.

Then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes.

2. As sauce is simmering, heat up 6 to 8 cups of shortening in

a deep fryer set to 350 degrees.

3. Combine the beaten egg with the milk in a small bowl.

4. In another small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and MSG.

5. When shorteningl is hot, dip each wing first in the flour mixture,

then into the milk and egg mixture, and back into the flour. Arrange

wings on a plate until each one is coated with batter.

6. Fry the wings in the shortening for 9 to 12 minutes or until light

golden brown. If you have a small fryer, you may wish to fry 10 of

the wings at a time. Drain on paper towels or a rack.

7. When the sauce is done, brush the entire surface of each wing with

a light coating of sauce. Serve immediately.

Makes 2 to 4 servings (20 wings).


Tidbits

Liquid smoke is a flavoring found near the barbecue sauces and

marinades. Use hickory-flavored liquid smoke if you have a choice.

MSG is monosodium glutamate, the solid form of a natural amino acid

found in many vegetables. It can be found in stores in the spice

sections and as the brand name Accent flavor enhancer. MSG is an

important component of many KFC items.



KFC COLE SLAW


If you've ever seen a clone recipe for KFC Cole Slaw floating

KENY ROGERS ROASTER'S CORN MUFFINS


He knows when to hold em, and he knows when to fold em. And

lately he's been folding em quite a bit as Kenny Rogers Roasters

restaurants across the country have bolted their doors for lack

of interest. Looks like that whole "home meal replacement"

think hasn't worked out too well for this fire-roasted chicken

chain. But that doesn't mean that Kenny didn't know how to make

awesome corn muffins that are served with every meal. And since

it's becoming harder and harder to find a Kenny Rogers Roasters

outlet, we have no choice but to duplicate these at home if we

want to re-create this part of the Kenny experience.


Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup honey

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Cream together butter, sugar, honey, eggs, and salt in a large

bowl.

3. Add flour, cornmeal, and baking powder and blend thoroughly.

Add milk while mixing.

4. Add corn to mixture and combine by hand until corn is worked in.

5. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan and fill each cup with batter. Bake

for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins begin to turn brown on top.

Makes 12 muffins.

KELLOGGS PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE RICE KRISPIES TREATS


When Kellogg's reacted to spectacular sales of its Rice Krispies

Treats with two new varieties of the popular and addictive snack,

TSR got on the case. It seems we've all tasted the original Rice

Krispies Treats. The homemade version is the next homework

assignment in Cooking 101, after learning how to boil water.

And the Kellogg's store-bought packaged version has been available

to the lazier of us for several years now. This variety, however,

puts that whole Reese's "You got your peanut butter in my chocolate"

thing to work. The crunchy bar has just a touch of nutty essence

that builds nicely on the other familiar flavors. But don't be

fooled by that dark "chocolatey" coating on top. It's not actually

chocolate, but rather a melt-resistant custom blend of cocoa and

uh, stuff, that tastes a lot like chocolate; and that happens to

work better for the product from a manufacturing, shipping, and

shelf-life aspect. But here in kitchen cloning land, we don't have

to worry about those things. So get ready to walk on the wild side,

people, as we step up to the microwave and melt some real chocolate

chips for topping our cinch of a crunchy clone.


Ingredients

1 tablespoon margarine

3 tablespoons peanut butter

1/8 teaspoon salt

5 cups miniature marshmallows

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 12-ounce bag milk chocolate chips

non-stick cooking spray


Preparation Method

1. Combine margarine, peanut butter, and salt in a large saucepan

over low heat.

2. When peanut butter and margarine have melted, add marshmallows

and vanilla and stir until marshmallows have melted. Remove from

heat.

3. Add Rice Krispies and stir until cereal is well coated with the

melted marshmallow mixture.

4. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with a light coating of non-stick

cooking spray. Pour the Rice Krispies mixture into the dish and,

using wax paper or lightly greased hands, press down until it's

flat in the dish. Cool.

5. Prepare the topping by pouring the chocolate chips into a glass

dish. Microwave for 2 minutes on 50 percent power. Stir gently.

Microwave for an additional minute on 50 percent power. Stir gently

once more until smooth. If the mixture hasn't completely melted,

zap it again for another 30 seconds.

6. Use a spatula to spread a thin layer of chocolate over the top

of the Rice Krispies mixture. Cool at room temperature

(at least 72 degrees), or chill until firm. Slice into 16 bars.

Makes 16 bars.


KELLOGGS COCOA RICE KRISPIES TREATS


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

By simply replacing regular Rice Krispies with Kellogg's

Cocoa Krispies, then adding a bit of cocoa to the recipe,

we can clone the exact flavor of the product you otherwise

have to buy in boxes in the grocery store. This recipe makes

16 of the crunchy brown bars, or the equivalent of two boxes

of the real thing.


Ingredients

3 tablespoons margarine

1/4 teaspoon salt

5 cups miniature marshmallows

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

4 teaspoons cocoa

6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal

non-stick cooking spray


Preparation Method

1. Combine margarine and salt in a large saucepan over low heat.

2. When margarine has melted, add marshmallows and vanilla and stir

until marshmallows have melted. Add cocoa and stir well. Remove

from heat.

3. Add Cocoa Krispies and stir until the cereal is well coated with

the melted marshmallow mixture.

4. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with a light coating of non-stick

cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the dish and, using wax paper

or lightly greased hands, press down until it's flat in the dish.

Cool. Slice into 16 bars.

Makes 16 bars.




KC MASTERPIECE'S CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM


Serves 12


Ingredients

15 chocolate sandwich cookies

1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts

into wedges and serve with warm fudge sauce.



K.C. MASTERPIECE ORIGINAL BBQ SAUCE


Even though it's now owned and produced by the Clorox Company,

the taste of Original K. C. Masterpiece barbecue sauce is the

same as when it was first created in good ole' Kansas City,

USA. This is the sauce that steals awards from all the other

popular slathers on the market. It's now even is sold in a

variety of flavors. But this is the clone for the original,

and you'll find it very easy to make. Just throw all of the

ingredients in a saucepan, crank it up to a boil, then simmer

for about an hour. Done deal. And just like the original

Masterpiece, this stuff will make a work of art out of any

of your grilled meats, or burgers and sandwiches; and as a

dipping sauce or marinade.


Ingredients

2 cups water

3/4 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup tomato paste

1/2 cup vinegar

3 tablespoons molasses

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon liquid smoke

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/8 teaspoon paprika

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder


Preparation Method

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over high heat

and whisk until smooth.

2. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45

to 60 minutes or until mixture is thick.

3. Cool, then store in a covered container in the refrigerator

overnight so that flavors can develop.

Makes 1 1/2 cups.


Tidbits

Liquid smoke is a flavoring found near the barbecue sauces and

marinades. Use hickory-flavored liquid smoke if you have a choice.
