1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt

4 large sesame seed buns
2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded or chopped thin
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 green onion, chopped

1. First make the pico de gallo. This is easy. Just combine all of the
ingredients for the pico in a small bowl and mix well. Cover bowl and
chill in the refrigerator.
2. Now we'll make the guacamole. In a small bowl, smash up most of the
avocado, but be sure to leave several unsmashed chunks. Add the
remaining ingredients for the guacamole to the avocado and mix well.
Cover bowl and chill in the refrigerator, next to the pico.
3. Next we'll make the chili queso. In yet another small bowl, mix together
ground beef, flour, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a
pinch of chili powder. Use your hands to work the dry ingredients into
the ground beef. Brown the beef in a small skillet over medium heat
for about 5 minutes. Use a spoon or spatula to crumble the beef as it
cooks. Cook until it's brown, then set aside.
4. Melt the Cheez Whiz with 2 tablespoons of milk over low heat. When milk
and cheese has been combined, add the remaining queso ingredients.
Heat while stirring often until cheese is smooth and creamy,
then cover saucepan and remove it from the heat.
5. Pre-heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly butter
the face of each bun and brown the buns face-down on the heat.
6. Separate the ground beef into four 1/2-pound portions. Roll each portion
of meat into a ball and then pat the meat down into a circular patty
slightly larger in diameter than the hamburger buns. Cook the hamburger
patties for 5-10 minutes per side, until done. Lightly salt and pepper
each burger patty.

Outback Steakhouse Aussie Fries

1 - 2 lb. bag of Frozen French Fries
1 Cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
6 pieces of Bacon, cooked
24 Fl. Oz. Peanut Oil (can be reused later; store
in refrigerator)

Divide the fries into half, and use the other half later.
Heat oil to 350 degrees. If you do not have a thermostat, make sure
the oil is hot enough, so that when you set a french fry in there it
will cook immediately. If the french fry sinks to the bottom, and
barely bubbles, it is not hot enough. Fry the potatoes in small
batches, they are done when they are golden brown, and float to the
top of the skillet. ( I like to use a Dutch Oven). Be sure to drain
the potatoes on paper towels. You can keep them warm in the oven
while the other fries are done.

When all french fries are done cooking, and drained place them onto
a platter. Salt the french fries if you like, and sprinkle on cheese
and cooked bacon. Pop these back into a warm oven until the cheese
begins to melt.

Chili Cheese burritos

Extra large tortillas
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups chicken broth or stock
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 and 1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 cup chili powder (try to mix different kinds, I use plain/ancho/chipotle)
2lb ground beef
1 sweet onion, minced
1 tbs of butter
8 oz pepperjack cheese
1 cup of milk, room temperature
Refried beans

Heat a large, deep pan on medium, add the vegetable oil and flour, cook for at least 5 minutes or until flour is completely incorporated and the roux has taken on a peanut butter shade of brown. Add your spices and toast for 1 minute, then slowly add the chicken stock/broth, stirring so it doesn't clump. Turn to medium low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, add water if it becomes too thick.

In another pan cook your beef and onions until beef is browned and onions are softened, drain any excess grease of it. Add half the can of refried beans to the beef and onion mixture, then add everything to the sauce and mix well. Cut the pepperjack into cubes and in a saucepan melt the butter, cheese and milk together on medium low heat. Continue to stir often until it becomes a sauce, spread on the tortillas before adding the meat mixture. Ladle a bit on top of the meat as well before assembling.

I'm also pretty sure you can't "caramelise" cheese, that's what happens to sugar. With cheese it's just a Maillard reaction

Applebee's Low-Fat Blackened Chicken Salad

Dressing:
1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise
1/4 cup Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Chicken Marinade:
1 cup water
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire

Cajun Spice Blend:
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons light butter

Salad:
8 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup fat free shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup fat free shredded cheddar cheese
1 large tomato, diced
1 hardboiled egg white, diced

1. Make dressing by combining ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well by hand.
Store in a covered container in the refrigerator until salad is ready.

2. Combine water, lime juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire in a medium bowl,
and stir. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, cover bowl and keep in
refrigerator for several hours. Overnight is even better.

3. When chicken is marinated, preheat a frying pan or skillet (an iron
skillet, if youve got it) over medium/high heat. Also, preheat your
barbecue grill to medium/high heat.

4. Combine the spices for the Cajun spice blend in a small bowl. Sprinkle a
teaspoon of the spice blend over one side of each of the chicken breasts.
Cover the entire surface of the chicken with spice.

5. Melt the butter in the hot pan, then sear the chicken breasts for 2-3
minutes on the side with the spices. While first side cooks, sprinkle
another teaspoon of spice over the top of each chicken breast, coating
that side as you did the other. Flip the chicken over, and sear for
another 2-3 minutes. The surface of the chicken will be coated with a
charred, black layer of flavor. This is exactly what you are shooting for.

6. Finish the chicken off on your barbecue grill. Grill each breast on
both sides for 2-3 minutes, or until they are done.

7. While chicken is cooking prepare the salads by splitting the lettuce into
two large bowls. Toss in the red cabbage and carrots. Mix the cheeses
together, then top the salad with the cheeses and hardboiled egg.
Sprinkle the diced tomato on each salad.

8. Slice the chicken breast, across each breast in 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Spread the chicken over the top of the salad and serve immediately with
dressing on the side.

Cheese Nips

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
(plus 1/2 cup divided & reserved for kneading and rolling)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Cheese Topping powder
(or 2 packages dry cheese powder from 2 boxes Kraft macaroni & cheese)
3 tablespoons shortening
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt (for tops, optional)

1. Sift together 1 cup flour, baking soda, baking powder and cheese
powder in a large bowl.

2. Cut in the shortening with a fork and knife with a crosswise motion
until dough is broken down into rice-size pieces. Mixture will still
be very dry.

3. Stir in buttermilk with a fork until dough becomes very moist and
sticky.

4. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of the reserved flour over the dough and
work it in until it can be handled without sticking, then turn it out
onto a floured board, being sure to keep 1/4 cup of the reserve flour
for later. Knead the dough well for 60 to 90 seconds, and the flour is
incorporated. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least
one hour.

5. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a light coating of cooking spray
on a baking sheet.

6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and use the remaining reserve
flour to dust a rolling surface. Roll about one-third of the dough
to just under 1/16th of inch thick. Trim the edges square (a pizza
cutter or wheel works great for this), then transfer the dough to a
lightly greased baking sheet. Use the rolling pin to transfer the
dough. Simply pick up one end of the dough onto a rolling pin, and roll
the dough around the rolling pin. Reverse the process onto the baking
sheet to transfer the dough.

7. Use a pizza cutter to cut across and down the dough, creating 1-inch
square pieces. Use the blunt end of a skewer or broken toothpick to
poke a hole in the center of each piece.

8. Sprinkle a very light coating of salt over the top of the crackers
(crackers will already be quite salty) and bake for 8-10 minutes,
mix the crackers around (so those on the edge dont burn) and bake
for another 3-5 minutes, or until some are just barely turning a
light brown. Repeat the rolling and baking process with the remaining
dough.

Makes approximately 300 crackers

In a food processor, grind codfish until pureed. Add 1/2 cup of heavy
cream and puree until incorporated. Then add more cream if needed.
The mixture should be smooth and shiny, yet firm enough to hold its shape.

Place this mousse in a metal bowl and add the other ingredients, except
for the olive oil.
Take a small portion of the crab-cake mixture and saute in hot olive
oil until golden brown. Taste to adjust seasoning.

Form the rest of the crab cakes and saute in hot olive oil until golden
on both sides. Finish by baking in a 450-degree oven for 4 to 5 minutes.

Hooter's Buffalo Chicken Wings

vegetable oil -- for frying
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce
dash ground pepper
dash garlic powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teas. paprika
1/4 teas. cayenne pepper
1/4 teas. salt
10 chicken wing pieces

ON THE SIDE: bleu cheese dressing & celery sticks

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375. You want just enough oil to cover the
wings entirely -- an inch or so deep at least.

Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder in a
small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and
the ingredients are well-blended.

Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne powder, and salt in a small bowl.
If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them. Put the wings
in a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each
wing evenly. Put the wings in the refrigerator 60-90 minutes.
This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried.

Put all the wings in the hot oil and fry 10 to 15 minutes or until
some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. Remove from the oil
to a paper towel to drain. Don't let them sit too long, because you
want to serve them hot. Quickly put the wings in a large bowl. Add the hot
sauce and stir, coating all of the wings evenly.

Serve with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.

Outback Steakhouse Honey Wheat Bushman Bread

Dough:
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
2 cups bread flour
1 2/3 cups wheat flour
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 pkg.) yeast

Coloring:
1/4 cup water
75 drops red food coloring
45 drops blue food coloring
30 drops yellow food coloring

Cornmeal for dusting

1. If using a bread machine, add all of the ingredients for the dough
in the exact order listed into the pan of your machine. Set it on
"knead" and when the machine begins to mix the dough, combine the
food coloring with 1/4 cup of water and drizzle it into the mixture as
it combines. After the dough is created let it rest to rise for an
hour or so. Then remove it from the pan and go to step #3.

2. If you are not using a bread machine, combine the flours, cocoa, sugar,
coffee and salt in large bowl. Make a depression or "well" in the
middle of the dry mixture. Pour the warm water into this "well,"
then add the butter, honey and yeast. Combine the food coloring
drops with 1/4 cup of water and add that to the "well." Slowly mix
the ingredients with a spoon, drawing the dry ingredients into
the wet. When you can handle the dough, begin to combine it by hand,
kneading the dough thoroughly for at least ten minutes, until it is
very smooth and has a consistent color. Set the dough into a covered
bowl in a warm place for an hour, to allow it to rise.

3. When the dough has risen to about double in size, punch it down and
divide it into 8 even portions (divide dough in half, divide those
halves in half, and then once more). Form the portions into tubular
shaped loaves about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. Sprinkle the
entire surface of the loaves with cornmeal and place them on a cookie
sheet, or two. Cover the cookie sheet(s) with plastic wrap and let
the dough rise once more for another hour in a warm location.

4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the dough and bake it for
20-24 minutes in the hot oven. Loaves should begin to darken slightly
on top when done. Serve warm with a sharp bread knife and butter
on the side. If you want whipped butter, like you get at the
restaurant, just use an electric mixer on high speed to whip
some butter until it's fluffy.

Makes 8 small loaves.

Oreo Cookies

COOKIE WAFERS:

1 (18.25 oz) box Dark Fudge Cake Mix
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons shortening

CREME FILLING:

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup shortening (no substitution)
3 tablespoons hot water

Preheat oven to 325F. Blend all ingredients; then knead with your
hands until it is pliable like dough. Form dough into 3/4 inch balls
and press flat, 1/2 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bottom of
a glass works nice for this. Bake 4 to 6 minutes or until cookies are
crunchy. I should think you could refrigerate the dough in cylinder
shaped rolls for a couple of hours and slice 1/8 inch thick, as well.
Let cookies cool on sheets.

Combine filling ingredients and mix well. Form into balls about 1/2 to
3/4 inch in diameter, again using your hands. Sandwich one
filling in the center of two cookies and carefully press down until
the filling spreads almost to the edge.

Makes 2 dozen cookies (4 dozen wafers)

Red Lobster Cheese Biscuits

Dough:

1 1/4 lbs. Bisquik

11 Oz. cold water

Garlic Spread:

1/2 cup melted butter
1 teas. garlic powder
1/4 teas. salt
1/8 teas. onion powder
1/8 teas. dried parsley

To cold water, add Bisquik and cheese, blending in a mixing bowl.
Mix until dough is firm.

Using a small scoop, place the dough on a baking pan lined with
baking paper. Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until
golden brown. While biscuits bake, combine spread ingredients.

Brush baked biscuits with the garlic topping.

Red Lobster Tartar Sauce

1/3 cup Miracle Whip Salad Dressing
2/3 cup Sour cream
1/4 cup Confectioner's Sugar
3 Tablespoons sweet white onion, chopped fine
2 Tablespoons sweet pickle relish from jar
with the relish juice
3 Teaspoons carrot, chopped fine
1/4 Teaspoon salt

Chop the sweet white onion in food processor, put in small container
and set aside. Chop carrot in food processor, and add to onion.
Mix in remaining ingredients and stir to blend thoroughly.
Do not use electric mixer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let flavors blend.

I also have a bunch of candy bar recipes but I don't know how many of you make candy to actually care

this thread is probably worth some money

Almost all of the recipes on this thread are trashy and entry-level as fuck, it's actually hilarious. But somehow it's also one of the only threads on Veeky Forums that's actually about food and cooking instead of worthless shitposting and cross-board contamination.

Where's the Alfredo recipe?

Look one up or buy a jar, I don't care.

since when is entry level an insult? fuck off you cunt.

Ok Veeky Forums today I'm going to share with you my absolute favorite recipe. One of my favorite foods in the world is pulled pork bbq. I've never owned a smoker though so I've had to learn to make it another way. I've made this recipe for everything from family dinner to work parties to church pot lucks and I have NEVER had leftovers. You need a few supplies and ingredients -
>Large crock pot
>Boston butt big enough to fill 2/3 of your crock pot
>A 2L bottle of root beer (my go to brand is A&W)
>2 regular sized bars of milk chocolate (I usually use Hershey but that gets so much hate around here, use what you like)
>a couple bottles of sauce (for this recipe go as spicy as you can handle because it will offset the sweet and taste delicious, I use pic related)
>bread and butter pickle slices
>and finally buns (large round hamburger style buns)
Put the butt in your crock pot and fill the pot to 3/4 full of root beer. Put the chocolate on top of the meat, put the lid on, set to low, and let that motherfucker cook all day. If your lids seal is good it shouldn't lose too much moisture but if you're not sure about your pot, watch it to make sure you don't need to add more root beer to keep it from drying out and burning. When it's done cooking take the meat out of the liquid and put into a large mixing bowl. Toss the liquid down the sink. Throw out the fat flap and bone. Also pull out any other huge hunks of fat. Shred the meat and pour the sauce over it and mix together. Serve on buttered toasted bun with pickles. You will get absolute rave reviews. I guarantee it.

I genuinely miss the green taco bell sauce. I've tried several other verdes over the years and they've not been the same as that green packet sauce
