We got hooked on making crackers for party's & get togethers last year at Christmas, we started out buying the seasoning online but it was almost 7 bucks for a package of this stuff after shipping & it is only for four sleeves of crackers. So I decided to come up with my own. Every where I take these, they get devoured, we make up a batch about every two weeks & keep em in a plastic container on the counter to munch on through the week. These are great in the boat or deer stand too.


Things you need:
Measuring Cup
2 1/2 Gallon Ziploc bags
Large Mixing bowl
4 Sleeves of crackers (Any Brand will do but I like the Nabisco Premium saltines)



Seasoning Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cups Canola Oil
3 Tbsp Ranch Dressing mix (I buy the big shaker at wal mart)
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Onion Powder
1 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper (like at Pizza restaraunts)
1 Tsp Black Pepper
Just a pinch of Ground Red Pepper (I have a little measuring spoon that says "pinch" but somewhere close to 1/4 Tsp is good)
Intructions:
Open up Ziploc bag & place in large mixing bowl to help hold it up, add all ingredients (no crackers yet) & mix up real good in Bag.


Place the bag back in the bowl & cut the Crackers open so they will be easy to dump in the bag quickly.



Dump all four sleeves of Crackers in & zip up the bag trying to catch as much air in it as possible. I like to take them straight to the kitchen table at this point & lay them down & just start gently flipping & shaking the bag side to side.



Let them sit for 5-10 minutes & shake / flip bag again, I do this several times (until I don't see liquid on the bottom when I flip them), I usually let them stay in the bag overnight but you need to at least leave them for 4 hrs or so.



Enjoy

Your recipe and mix look great. Those things don't last long...
Being an ol quail chaser from way back, knew a guy and his wife who used to compete with each other on Cracker mixes, we snacked on em chasing birds around abilene. Too spicy for the dogs...

They. Are. AWESOME!

Man those are good --- I did not know i could eat a whole box of crackers in 2 day's

very nice....thank-you

Those are excellent

Sounds good Thanks, I going to try your seasoning mix..We make them also if you use a old one gallon pickle jar instead of the gallon bag it is much easier to coat the crackers just put the lid on and roll it back and fourth..

I tried the old pickle jar & didn't like it, to each his own I guess, it didn't seem to get all the crackers seasoned as evenly as it does in the bag, since all you can do is roll it, in the bag you can move them around better & the bag gives a little, that way you don't end up with so many broken crackers. One thing I would like to add is, try using Club Crackers, they are the bomb with this seasoning on them!! Thanks for all the compliments, glad y'all like em.

Great idea !

I am visualizing them with Cajun seasoning on them, right now !

Looks good!

I'm going to make some with the ranch and Ball's cajun seasoning on them.

I got you hooked, didnt I ?

yes you did

This sounds like a good snack to fix before road trips. Thanks....

Need to remind myself of this recipe. Good stuff.
