The Best Copycat Recipes From Your Favorite Restaurants

We never feel more joyful than getting a piping hot, fresh plate from our favorite restaurants. And it's even more exciting when it's an iconic dish, like The Cheesecake Factory's Buffalo Blasts or Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

Unfortunately, it's not financially feasible or timely for many people to head to those spots all the time. However, you can easily make it in your kitchen, especially if you already have the necessary ingredients. Below, discover how to make a few iconic meals from Chili's, Outback and more.

Copycat Outback Blooming Onion by The Slow-Roasted Italian

We were never big fans of onions. That is until we had Outback's Blooming Onion (or Texas Roadhouse's version, the Cactus Blossom). These sweet onions are suitable for beginners—they aren't slimy and don't have an overpowering taste. The satisfying crunch of the fried shell ties it all together in the end. And you can easily make it, thanks to The Slow-Roasted Italian's quick recipe!
