Here is a copycat recipe for the Hash Brown casserole at Cracker Barrel restaurant. This is an amazing dish to prepare as a side dish to go with pretty much any type of meat. I decided to prepare seasoned boneless pork chops to go with this dish. The process to preparing this casserole is simple—just combine all of the ingredients (except for a little bit of the cheese) in a large bowl and then place the mixture into a baking dish, top with the remaining cheese and bake to perfection! Enjoy.

This is a copycat recipe for the chicken and gnocchi soup at Olive Garden. This is my favorite soup to get every time I go to Olive Garden and I love to eat it with breadsticks.

This soup takes a little time to prepare because a lot of the ingredients need to be chopped. Enjoy.

This is a copycat recipe for the chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A restaurant. Unfortunately, living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we do not have a Chick-fil-A around here so I cannot comment on how close this recipe is to the actual dish. The chicken is first marinated in a mixture of dill pickle juice and milk, then dipped in egg and milk and then breaded in a flour mixture. The chicken nuggets can be cooked in the pan or fried in the deep-fryer.

This is a copycat recipe for the spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy’s restaurant. I have never had this sandwich at Wendy’s but this recipe was delicious! This sandwich consists of a spicy fried chicken fillet, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a bun. The chicken is dipped into a water and hot sauce mixture and then rolled in a mixture of seasoned flour. Most of the heat in this recipe comes from the hot sauce and the cayenne pepper. The hardest part of this recipe is breading the chicken, which does require a little bit of work but these sandwiches are so good, it is well worth the effort. You can adjust the toppings on this sandwich any way you like, adding pickles may be a good option. Enjoy.Read More »Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich recipe
