Applebee's
Baked French Onion Soup
D
on't even try to find this one on the menu at Applebee's, because it isn't there; though it's the
most popular soup served each day at this huge restaurant chain. This is the first of several big-
time 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. So that's exactly what we'll use in our clone.
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 medium white onions, sliced
8 cups beef broth (Swanson is best)
1 cup water
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 plain hamburger buns
10 slices provolone cheese
10 teaspoons shredded parmesan cheese
1. Add 3 tablespoons oil to a large soup pot or saucepan over medium/high heat. Add the sliced
onions and sauté for 20 minutes until the onions begin to soften and start to become translucent.
You don't want them to brown.
by Todd Wilbur
2. Add the beef broth, water, salt, garlic powder and black pepper to the pan and bring mixture
to a boil. When soup begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
3. To make the croutons cut off the top half of each top of the hamburger bun so that the bread is
the same thickness as the bottom half of each bun. Throw the tops away. Now you should have 10
round pieces of bread -- 5 bottom buns, and 5 top buns with the tops cut off. Preheat oven to 325
degrees. Place the bread in the the oven directly on the rack and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or
until each piece is golden brown and crispy. Set these croutons aside until you need them.
4. When the soup is done, spoon about 1 cup into an oven-safe bowl. Float a crouton on top of the
soup, then place a slice of provolone cheese on top of the crouton. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of
shredded parmesan cheese over the provolone.
5. Place the bowl into your oven set to high broil. Broil the soup for 5 to 6 minutes or until the
cheese is melted and starting to brown (you may need to broil longer if you are making more
than one bowl at a time). Sprinkle an additional 1/2 teaspoon of shredded parmesan cheese over
the top of the soup and serve. Repeat process to pre pare remaining servings.

Benihana Ginger Salad Dressing
As far as salad dressings go, this is one of the most requested, and tasty. At the Benihana
chain of hibachi grill restaurants, you are served a side salad before your meal that is doused
with this tangy, slightly sweet, fresh ginger dressing. This
Top Secret Recipes
version of that
dressing is a real cinch to make, once you've got the ingredients. Just dump everything into a
blender, whiz it, and you're set. Although this recipe is inspired by the many variations of the
clone recipe that are floating around (and that I have received by e-mail), you should know that
this is an original never-before -published creation that comes closer to the original product than
any other version I have seen. See what you think.
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds or until all of
the ginger is well-pureed. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)

Boston Market Meatloaf
If you already have a recipe that claims to be a clone for this delicious meatloaf...you can now
toss it out, purge if from your hard drive, burn all hard copies. No clone recipe that I've found
yet -- and there are several circulating -- has come even close to the tender, tasty meatloaf you
can get from this popular chain. Don't be fooled! To make a REAL clone, first thing you've got
to do is use ground sirloin, just as the restaurant chain does. And then you need to know how to
make 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 the
result of days and days of vigorous testing. Even if you don't normally enjoy meatloaf, this one
you'll be a cravin'.
1 cup tomato sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Kraft original barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin (10% fat)
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
dash garlic powder
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Heat the mixture until it begins to bubble, stirring often, then remove it from the heat.
3. In a large bowl, add all but 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce to the meat. Use a large wooden
spoon or your hands to work the sauce into the meat until it is very well combined.
4. Combine the remaining ingredients with the ground sirloin-- flour, salt, onion powder and
ground pepper. Use the wooden spoon or your hands to work the spices and flour into the meat.
5. Load the meat into a loaf pan (preferably a meatloaf pan with two sections which allows the
fat to drain, but if you don't have one of those a regular loaf pan will work). Wrap foil over the
pan and place it into the oven for 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes, take the meatloaf from the oven, remove the foil and, if you aren't using a
meatloaf pan, drain the fat.
7. Using a knife, slice the meatloaf all the way through into 8 slices while it is still in the pan. This
will help to cook the center of the meatloaf. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of sauce over the
top of the meatloaf, in a stream down the center. Don't spread the sauce.

8. Place the meatloaf back into the oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until it is done. Remove
and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)

Dakota Smashed Pea & Barley Soup
Got one of those cool hand blenders? You know, the kind of gadget that used to be pitched on
those annoying yet compelling late-night infomercials? It comes in handy for this recipe, which
requires 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 peas
6 cups water
2 14.5-ounce cans chicken broth (4 cups)
1/3 cup minced onion
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
dash dried thyme
1/2 cup barley
6 cups water
2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 stalk celery, diced (1/4 cup)
Garnish
chopped green onion
1. Rinse and drain the split peas, then add them to a large pot with 6 cups of water, chicken
broth, onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, sugar, parsley, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then
reduce heat and simmer for 75 minutes or until the peas are soft.
2. While the peas are cooking, combine the barley with 6 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a
boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 75 minutes or until the barley is soft and most of the water
has been absorbed.
3. When the split pea mixture has become a thick soup, use a handheld blender to puree the peas
until the mixture is smooth. You may also use a standard blender or food processor for this step,
pureeing the soup in batches. Alternately, if you like, you may skip this step, keeping the soup
rather chunky. It's still good this way, just not as smooth as the real thing.
4. Drain the barley mixture in a sieve or colander and add it to the split pea mixture. Add the
4
carrots and celery and continue to simmer the soup for 15 to 30 minutes or until the carrots are
tender. Stir occasionally. Turn off the heat, cover the soup, and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes
before serving. Garnish each serving with a little chopped green onion.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes
This easy-to-clone dish comes with many of the tasty entrees at the restaurant chain or can be
ordered up, pronto, on the side. It's a nice clone to have around since it goes well with so many
dishes, Mexican or otherwise. Just give yourself the time to bake and cool the potatoes. Be here
at TSR next week for a big clone request from the same "always fresh ingredients" Mexican food
chain. It's for that muy delicioso salsa, baby! Si, si, si. See you then.
4 medium/large russet potatoes
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3-4 cloves)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Bake the potatoes by first rubbing them lightly with oil and then baking them in the preheated
oven for 1 hour until they are tender. Cool.
3. Mash potatoes and remove about half of the skin. You want to leave the rest in.
4. Melt the butter in a large suacepan over medium heat, then add garlic and saute for 5 minutes.
5. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and cook for 5-10 minutes while stirring often until
garlic mashed potatoes are very hot. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)

Chili's Calypso Cooler
Ever order one of those expensive specialty drinks off those shiny, full-color restaurant table-
stand cards and wish you ha d the recipe? Well, this is one of those drinks, off of one of those
cards, from the popular Chili's chain. It's a great one to make while the weather's still hot (or
anytime), and can be made in a much larger quantity for a party-time punch bowl...with a
punch.
