Well another Christmas has come and gone...it was a wonderful evening with all of the family...here is my most requested recipe, and a few pictures too.....
Yummy Amazing Crackers….
So, this is not my original recipe, but I did make a few
tweaks to it, and I think there are more ways to adjust and adapt it as you
like….
1 box of saltine crackers. (could be salt free if you are
watching your salt intake..)
1 package of ranch dressing (or Dip) mix (Hidden Valley Ranch has
MSG, arrgg. Mc Cormick does not, yay!)
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil, canola etc.
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 Tablespoons chili flakes- or more or less depending on
your liking for the spicy.
Pre heat oven to 250 degrees.
You’ll need two cookie sheets, line with foil for easy
cleanup, and if your cookie sheets are rimless, bend the foil up on the edges
to keep any oil from dripping.
Place all the crackers in a big bowl, (or two if your bowls
are smaller). Mix the spices and ranch mix into the oil. Pour the oil over the
crackers, and mix with your hands for a few minutes. Try to mix from the bottom
to get each cracker coated. Pour the crackers onto the cookie sheets and any
left over oil can be drizzled over.
Put in the oven for 20-30
minutes, stirring at about half way through.
Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temp. Put them in
a big baggy and take to the party. Resist keeping them in the front seat on the
way, or there will not be any for your family.
Alterations and additions. I haven’t tried all of these, but they might be fun…..
Use oyster crackers instead of saltines.
Sprinkle with Parmesan when they come out of the oven, it
should be hot enough to get it to stick without melting all the way. Will try
this for NYE and let you all know how it goes.
Change up the spices, dill, onion powder, oregano, rosemary
and lemon pepper…maybe we should have a taste test……
