I always liked Wendy's chili so I copied it and followed the instructions to the letter. It was good but I next modified to make it My Chili!

I've tried some - some are good and pretty close to the original.
Not sure if the one parked on my hard drive is originally from CopyKat,com but it's for KFC cole slaw - always a hit.

@SmoothSeas does your recipe call for Miracle Whip? If it doesn’t, could you link your recipe. Thanks.
Any recipe I’ve tried from the site has been ok, not spectacular.

Actually, It does, but I normally use mayo. From a word doc parked on my hard drive...
KFC Cole Slaw
Ingredients:
1 head of Cabbage
1/2 Green Pepper
1/2 Small Onion
1 medium to Large Carrot
2 cups Miracle Whip Light
1/2 cup Sugar

1/4 cup Vegetable oil
Directions:
Cut up Cabbage in a food processor, while cutting up Cabbage Cut small slices of Green Pepper and Onion, or Carrot and add to Processor. Now mix Miracle whip, vinegar, and oil, Sugar. Mix smooth. Taste should be sweet with just a hint of vinegar. Amount of slaw dressing may be increased or decreased according to the amount of slaw you are making. Add to cut up cabbage and Mix well. Let stand 1-hour if possible to let flavors mix.

Years ago I had a copy cat recipe for Girl Scout Samoas cookies. They were fantastic. Some people said better than the original.
The problem was, it took me all day to make them. I think there were many steps involved. I threw the recipe out.

You ever try making homemade tamales? Or pierogi's from scratch? How 'bout mole sauce?
While the end product may be great, all that labor-intensive prep work is exhausting...

I've watched someone making home made tamales on YT. Yikes!
I made pierogi once. Once was enough, lol.

Once was enough, my sentiments exactly.
While I do like to cook and find it relaxing - these days I prefer easier recipes...

I feel the same way! I think the cleanup is mostly to blame.

When I cooked for a living, I learned to clean up as I went along. Still is an ingrained habit. Now. after dinner, all that's left is the dishes we ate off of.

How interesting, that you cooked for a living, Smooth!
I've never, NEVER made homemade tamales or homemade mole sauce. My sisters have. I never learned how to cook until I married. My mole sauce comes in a jar and I add my own special touch to it.

I love the KFC recipe and found it back in the day. We used to make homemade tamales for Christmas but not anymore. Too much work for just me.

I used to work on tramp steamers, once I'd grained enough union seniority, I shipped as cook. Nothing fancy - it was institutional cooking - think hospital cafeteria type of food, rather than what you'd call haute cuisine.
The job had its upsides and its downsides - but the money was good, and I got a taste of the world.

Recipes: Lots of ingredients you have left over. Expensive if you don't use them all. Seasonings you may never use again. Prep time usually not worth it. End results are usually "good or OK but not great." Not worth the trouble.
I have looked and looked for my typed recipe and can't find it. I recently put alot of work in typing it all; step by step for various relatives and friends. I cannot find it anywhere and am not about to redo it. I will text my sister-in-law in the morning to see if she can resend to me a copy.

@PamfromTx Do you think you saved it on your computer?
Have checked laptop, desktop computer and even looked thru the sent emails. Zip! I am slowly getting forgetful. I am sorry.
I usually delete all emails...even the sent ones.

I have a copy-cat Panera Bread Co recipe for Cheddar Broccoli Soup that is just as good as original.
I wish I could find a copy cat recipe for Chick-fil-A's coleslaw recipe. They stopped serving it a few years ago.
