Texas Roadhouse Rib Seasoning Recipe
Ribs are almost a religion in Alabama, right along with football. Ribs better be big and tender to pass muster around these parts. That's why when I came across a Texas Roadhouse Rib Seasoning recipe, I knew my next ribs would pass at least the taste test. The rib rub they use is flavorful and blends perfectly with a tomato-based BBQ sauce. When I prepared this dish for my family, they raved about the flavor. The only thing I did different, was exchange my store-bought rib rub with the Texas Roadhouse rib seasoning blend. It really brought out the flavor in the meat. I think I'll retire my old rub and stick to this one instead. I left out the MSG and increased the amount of cayenne pepper and it turned out perfect.I think the secret of this rub is the dry mustard powder, so don't leave that one out! Do you have a favorite rib rub? If so, what is the secret ingredient?
Texas Roadhouse Red Chili Recipe
When Fall starts blowing in, one of my first thoughts is to pull out my dutch oven and start making soups. There is something about the cool breezes of Fall that makes you want to don long sleeves, breath in deep and consume warm liquids. Chili is always on the top of my list of soup recipes because it is fast, cheap and filling. My recipe uses beans, so when my son asked about making a dish like the Texas Roadhouse Red Chili side dish, I had to hunt for a recipe. I've never made chili without beans before- it almost doesn't seem like chili. After trying out the Texas Roadhouse chili recipe, I have to admit that it is very good. I found out Texas chili traditionally doesn't use beans. I think that came from the Mexican influence on cooking where they keep their bean dishes and meat dishes separate. I really like the addition of the smoked paprika in the dish- it gave it a nice smokey flavor without being too strong. I think I'll add it to my regular chili dish too to see how it boosts the flavor.
Texas Roadhouse Pulled Pork Recipe
So, I've been rolling through reviews of some of my favorite recipes I've found online and I couldn't overlook the Texas Roadhouse Pulled Pork Recipe. Living in the Southern BBQ belt, there is no shortage of places to consume pulled pork. Just for fun, my family counted BBQ places on the way to church and counted more than 8 in 5 miles. So, when you make pulled pork around here, you'd better know what you are doing. Texas Roadhouse has the process down pat. They can compete with any of the local chains in taste, flavor and especially tenderness. I've been struck by how consistent they are able to maintain their pulled pork dishes. Most places seem to swing wildly in how good the pork tastes. Some times it is juicy and tender, then next time dry and tough. The secret of Texas Roadhouse's dish is the slow roasting time. While it needs to cook for about 6 hours in the oven, it comes out perfect every time. If you try out this recipe, let me know how yours turns out.

Texas Roadhouse Prime Rib Recipe
My family has always been keen on prime rib, but we've always enjoyed it at a restaurant. The dish seems so hard to do at home since it is so tender and juicy. Well, I'm in charge of bring a roast for Thanksgiving dinner this year and I want to surprise my family with something different. My first thought was Prime Rib! I started looking on lots of websites to find a good recipe, then I remembered Texas Roadhouse has an awesome dish. I came across instructions on how to make Texas Roadhouse prime rib. There is even a video where cooks from the restaurant prepared the dish on a TV morning show somewhere. It isn't as hard as I thought it would be. The secret seems to be to get a good prime rib loin. I looked up a butcher that was nearby and went and bought a prime rib loin that was recommended by the butcher. I followed the Texas Roadhouse prime rib recipe to the T and it turned out so good during my test run. It didn't take long to prep, but the cooking time was a bit long. For Thanksgiving, I'll probably marinate the meat overnight, then put it in to cook about 8 am so it will be ready at noon.
Texas Roadhouse Margaritas Recipe
So, I'm not much of a drinker, but occasionally, I like a drink to go along with a meal. I saw a margarita the last time I was at Texas Roadhouse, so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I tried it, because it was delish! It was light and not too strong. It was the perfect drink to balance the steak I had for dinner. I decided I wanted to replicate it for my next dinner party. I found instructions on how to make a Texas Roadhouse Margarita on copycatrecipeguide.com. It is easy, but does require a shaker glass. I didn't have one at home, so I found on Amazon for cheap. I practiced for a couple of nights to make sure I could do it right. The night we had our party, I was able to whip out 10 of these margaritas in 1/2 hour. I garnished them with a lime slice to make them festive. Everyone loved them and my dish. Although, I think the margarita helped open their appetites a bit.
Texas Roadhouse Fried Catfish Recipe
Fried catfish is one of the secret dishes Southerners like to whip out to show our Northern brethren we know how to cook. The dish has so much flavor that it is hard to forget. While some insist on using fresh-caught fish, I'm just as happy with the store-purchased fish. Catfish is often put on sale around where I live and it is much cheaper than salmon or other types of fish I like to cook. I decided to try this recipe for Texas Roadhouse fried catfish since all of their dishes are so good. It uses buttermilk, cornmeal, pepper and some salt. It turned out great! Since the spices are not overdone, the taste of the fish really shines and cornmeal is the perfect compliment to the fishiness. I used soybean oil, but I think I may try peanut oil next time to see if it gives the dish a different taste. I added some homemade hush puppies and some green beans and I had a happy family. Do you have a favorite fried catfish recipe? If so, what is the secret? Do you put any seasonings that blend well? I'm thinking of adding some Cayenne pepper next time.
Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Butter Recipe
I'll admit it. Sometimes when I'm asked where I want to go to eat, I'll say Texas Roadhouse because I'm craving their rolls. While you can get similar yeast rolls at other steakhouse, what sets their rolls apart is the cinnamon butter topping. The cinnamon butter is so good that you can almost eat it straight. The butter is also used on the restaurant's popular sweet potato. I thought the butter would be great as a topping for toast or even on tea cakes, so I looked for a recipe. The recipe Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon butter recipe that looked the best to me used butter, cinnamon, corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk. It seemed a little odd, but I thought it might be the right mix. I was right- it tastes almost exactly like the restaurant's version. Has anyone tried another version? I saw one with confectioners sugar. If you've tried a recipe for the cinnamon butter, what version did you like best?
