Freddy’s Burger Sauce (Copycat Recipe)

Stand back! It’s big time messy burger time! Messy means good, and this copycat recipe for Freddy’s burger sauce makes for some mighty messy good burgers! This isn’t the time to be shy saucing up some buns. Lesser is not better. More is! So spread it on thick and enjoy some lightly-spicy delicious creaminess. This perfectly seasoned sauce is destined to quickly become a favorite in your house too!

Oh, you think this is like ‘that sauce’? You know the one. The ‘special’ stuff. Nope. It’s not that. It’s sooooooooo much better!

Burgers And Fries For The Win

I recommend that you make a batch of fries to go with burgers served with copycat recipe Freddy’s burger sauce. You’ve already got the best fry seasoning, since the sauce calls for it in the recipe. Make some sauce, then sprinkle them fries, slap some burgers together and get to eatin’! And enjoyin’!

I made smash burgers because I knew they’d really shine with this sauce. Any burger will do, of course. I’m just partial to smash burgers because they’re easy and open to just about any toppings you can conjure up. I like to use a burger press when I make burgers. It, in combination with some patty papers, enables me to crank out a whole bunch of equally-sized burger patties in no time at all with little cleanup.

Freddy’s Fry Seasoning (Copycat Recipe)

One of my favorite side dishes to make are crispy homemade French fries. The thin ones. The kind with crunch on the outside and fluffy yummy inside. They’re so addictingly good. I like to season my fries with something tasty, something a bit different than salt and pepper or adobo seasoning (actually a big favorite of mine). This copycat recipe of Freddy’s fry seasoning is perfect on hot-out-the-fryer fries. I mean like crazy good. The added sweetness and earthiness of the seasoning adds a totally different flavor than if I’d just used salt and pepper. I go heavy on this seasoning, it’s really flavorful!

Make A Batch. Keep It On Hand.

There’s only one thing I’d do differently next time I make this copycat Freddy’s recipe fry seasoning: make a bunch more. It’s great on burgers. Baked potatoes. Cottage cheese. Just about anywhere that you think you should be using salt and pepper, use this instead.

I didn’t have turmeric on hand the first time I made this. A good substitute is dry mustard, which is what I went with. It’s a perfect replacement. You can also use cumin if you don’t have turmeric, but I’d use a bit less than the recipe calls for for the turmeric.

If I make a big batch of seasoning I like to keep it in these big spice bottles. I use blue painters tape to write the contents on the bottles. The tape comes off easily when I’ve used up the seasoning, so I can use the bottle for the next batch of whatever I’m making.

You can substitute a sugar substitute for the sugar. I think that’s with an asterisk though. The consistency between the two is different, so I’d say it depends on what you plan on using it on. For fries, I liked to see those sugar granules. Not a powder. For burgers, it really wouldn’t matter.

Quick Fix Copycat McRib Sandwich

This isn’t some highfalutin’ food blog. I can barely afford to keep the lights on half of the time. I gotta cut corners wherever I can to keep this site up and running. So that’s why you’re not going to judge me when I say I really, really enjoyed this quick fix copycat of the McRib sandwich. I mean, you know what? It’s actually yummy! It kinda looks like the real thing and it’s fun to eat!

I should probably email the fine folks at On-Cor to apologize for doubting their products. Their BBQ rib patties look like the real McRib deal, sauce and all!

They’re Yummy!

You can make 6 quick fix copycat McRib sandwiches from a package of On-Cor BBQ Rib Patties. I actually prefer 2 patties per sandwich. I wrote the recipe to use only one per sandwich, but ….. well, use your own judgment. I thought one was kinda wimpy and I’m not into wimpy sandwiches!

Make sure to get some of the sauce on there, too. The ribs actually come with more sauce then you’d think, plenty enough to heap on deep and that’s a good thing. That helps make these quick fix copycat McRib sandwiches double good!

And whatever you do, do not forget the pickles! That vinegary pickle goodness cuts thru the sweetness of the barbecue sauce.

Toasting the buns is kinda optional. I think they came steamed. It’s been so long that I can’t say I really remember. My oven has a ‘keep warm’ option that gets to 170 F. It’s perfect for toasting my buns while I’m off getting the rest of the meal together. The temperature is low enough that I don’t have to worry about burning the buns. And they stay nice and warm right up until the moment I need them!

I want my patties to be packed with flavor. This copycat recipe for Freddy’s burger seasoning is an absolutely fantastic way to add great flavor to any burger. This stuff is like magic.

My Bad. But Still Good.

Oops on me, I didn’t have any turmeric for my copycat recipe Freddy’s burger seasoning. No problem. I used dry mustard instead. You’re just looking for something with a little earthiness to it. Cumin would be great too, but my wife is not quite the big cumin fan, so mustard it was.

Merkts Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread (Copycat Recipe)

I have a major league addiction to Merkts sharp cheddar cheese spread. Truth is, I can’t tell you how many are in my fridge. I can’t tell you how many boxes of cracker rounds I have in my pantry to go with the cheeses. Well, sadly, there are times when I run out of spread and my local grocery runs out too. Sad times indeed. That’s when it’s time to make a copycat recipe for Merkts sharp cheddar cheese spread at home! Delightfully creamy, lightly sharp, this is the cheese spread dreams are made of. We often have this with our weekday lunches. Served with crackers it’s a really great snack!

Add Some Kick

I usually use pepper jack cheese in my copycat recipe for Merkts sharp cheddar cheese spread. Yeah, it might not be a true copycat at that point, but oh, oh me, that slight kick really is awesome. It’s not like that little bit of pepper made it super spicy, but just enough. Like I needed an excuse to smear more cheese spread on my crackers!

You can substitute other cheeses and make your own flavors. If you’re having a little get-together, a few friends over, having a few variations will be a real crowd pleaser. You don’t have to serve them with ‘just’ crackers either. I love dipping pretzel sticks in this spread. And I don’t get a little ole bit of it on my pretzel sticks either. I load up. Pro tip: If you use two pretzel sticks at a time, they can be used as a kind of cheese ‘scoop’! Boom!

4 ounces Monterey jack cheese freshly shredded, not pre-shredded
2 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon paprika plus a little more, for garnish
½ cup half and half you might need a tad more

Taco Bell Nacho Fries (Copycat Recipe)

Who wants boring frozen fries? Not me! And not you either! In just minutes you can transform that bag of frozen sadness into something great with this copycat recipe for Taco Bell Nacho fries. Spicy (as spicy as you want) seasoning that’ll wake you up and make you forget those tasteless fries of yesterday. And the cheese sauce! Oh my! Double the recipe and you’ll thank me, because you seriously cannot get too much of the sauce on your fries!

Let’s go make spicy fries!

Crinkles Hold More Of The Good Stuff

For my copycat recipe Taco Bell nacho fries I used crinkle fries. That’s not what you’ll get at the fast food joint. Why did I commit such a heinous crime? Well, those crinkles hold more cheese sauce and the cheese sauce is yummy! Old-school skinny fries aren’t going to give the glorious sauce as much to cling to. Go crinkle and get happy, I say!

I admit that at first, I was pretty sure I didn’t want or need an air fryer. Heck, I can bake my fries in my oven I thought. I can cook my wings on my grill, I said. Yes, I made a lot of excuses for not getting one. Well, the neighbor gave me one of her old ones and I’ve never looked back! I used it to cook these copycat Taco Bell nacho fries and whole bunch more!

You can still make these in your oven though. I just like an air fryer for my fries. Convection ovens I think also do a great job of crisping up fries. And you gotta have that crisp!

I use a pretty straight-forward air fryer, that doesn’t have a lot of bells (ok, it has a bell for when the timer goes off!) and whistles. It gets the job done.

Prep Time 10

Servings

Calories 125kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

For the seasoning

2 ½ tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

For the cheese sauce

1 cup Cheez Whiz cheese dip
½ cup whole milk
1 tablespoon brine plus 2 teaspoons, from pickled jalapeno slices
1 pinch cayenne pepper

For the fries

2 pounds Ore-Ida Golden Fries frozen French fries or your favorite kind

Instructions

For the fries

Prepare the fries according to the bag. I recommend making them in an air fryer or deep fryer to get them good and crunchy. While the fries are cooking, making the seasoning and sauce.
Transfer the cooked fries to a large bowl and sprinkle with the seasoning blend (using however much or little as you want, you might have leftover seasoning). Toss lightly to coat. Serve with the warm cheese sauce on the side.

For the seasoning

Combine the ingredients in a small bowl. I like to put them in a resealable container, close the lid, and shake gently to combine.

For the cheese sauce

Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cheese and heat through. Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Keep warm until needed, stirring occasionally.

Notes

The cheese sauce is great for dipping tortilla chips, too!

Pizza Hut Meaty Marinara Pasta (Copycat Recipe)

I don’t know what happened. I can’t explain it. It was the day after Thanksgiving. it’s not like I was starving, not by any means. I had to still be full of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and pie. But after the first bite of this copycat recipe of the Pizza Hut meaty marinara pasta I was suddenly very hungry again. I could not get enough of it. It’s just flat-out delicious and it hit the spot on a cool November day. I’d make this dish again and again, exactly like it’s written. That’s saying something because I love to tinker with recipes.

Great Sauce. Really Great.

The sauce in this copycat recipe of the Pizza Hut meaty marinara pasta is absolutely delicious. I’d definitely use it over spaghetti or in lasagna. And you have to have the cheese, and you have to get it just a bit browned. Oh… me yes! It is so good! I flashed back to the days of the Pizza Hut buffets where you’d find this great dish, pizza slices and crispy yummy salads!

Serving Suggestions

If I had to serve this with sides I guess I could. I’m kind of a meat-and-potatoes guy and this dish pretty much hits me as an all-in-one dinner. Everything in one big ole serving. But, I’m not normal and most people need some sides. So make a little old side salad. Maybe some garlic bread, too. There, now everyone’s happy!

Oh and serve with some grated Parmesan cheese. You can’t have enough of that stuff!

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the real stuff.

Hamburger Helper Beef Noodle (Copycat Recipe)

I could not even begin to tell you the last time I had Hamburger Helper Beef Noodle. No doubt it was back in my bachelor days, when even opening a box in preparation for dinner was a challenge. I ran across this recipe for copycat Hamburger Helper beef noodle and instantly realized I needed to make a copycat of those same flavors again. And this is it. Browned ground beef in a creamy, perfectly-seasoned sauce with wonderful perfectly-cooked egg noodles. This tastes exactly how I remember the original. Actually, it does taste even better.

Egg Noodles For The Win

You can pretty much put any pasta you want in this copycat recipe of Beef Noodle Hamburger Helper. I had half a bag of leftover Amish egg noodles that were absolutely perfect in this dish. You want the noodles to still have a bit of a ‘bite’ to them, so don’t over cook them. Mushy pasta won’t work here. Well, anywhere really….

Popeye’s Delta Dipping Sauce (Copycat Recipe)

Happiness is making a sauce for dipping chicken nuggets or fingers that can also be used in many, many other ways. This copycat recipe for Popeye’s Delta dipping sauce is exactly that. It’s very similar to some of the comeback sauces I’ve made or had. This Cajun-inspired dipping sauce really steps up your dipping game and them some. It also is great on po boy sandwiches. Or any sandwiches for that matter. And even hot dogs. And chicken sandwiches, too!

Creole Mustard Makes This Sauce Great

I really think that a good, strong Creole mustard makes this copycat recipe for Popeye’s Delta dipping sauce something amazing. You can use any mustard you want, you don’t have to stick to the original idea at all, but in my mind there’s only one Creole mustard and it’s made by Zatarain’s. The extra kick of the Creole mustard really made for a fantastic spread on a fried shrimp po boy sandwich. Which reminds me. This sauce is also great for dipping fried shrimp or oysters!

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Popeye’s Blackened Ranch Dipping Sauce (Copycat Recipe)

There’s no reason to go through the trouble of making homemade chicken nuggets and then serving them with a boring sauce. Heck, there’s no reason to heat up pre-made nuggets (or homemade) and dip them in a lame sauce either. Indeed, this copycat recipe for Popeye’s blackened ranch dipping sauce isn’t boring or lame. It’s nothing but creamy spicy yumminess. You won’t be able to dunk your chicken bites quick enough. Or deep enough.

Great On So Many Things!

You don’t just need to make this copycat recipe for Popeye’s blackened ranch dipping sauce for dipping nuggets. It’s great on a po boy sandwich. It’s fantastic on a crispy fried fish sandwich. Or use it for dipping fries. Or veggies. It’s a great all-around sauce, but it’s perfect for nuggets or chicken tenders too! Consequently, if you like your sauce a little thinner, add a bit more buttermilk. Thicker? Yep, you guessed it. Add less. Just make the decision for less sooner rather than later!

By and large, I like to use these little dipping sauce cups for serving. They’re the perfect size for dipping nuggets or tenders. And they help keep me from over-serving myself, which can be a problem with a sauce as good as this one!
