Real Texas Chili Pepper Saltines

This recipe is an easy and quick recipe to make. It’s a very addicting snack too! If you are calorie counting (You’re not supposed to during Holiday Season) then you should limit your snack to only 4 crackers. These are just like Lay’s Potato Chips, you just can’t eat just one!

This is a short video of me making these scrumptious!

Ingredients

1 1/3 cup oil (can be any light oil)

2 tablespoons crushed Red Pepper

1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1 package dry Ranch Dressing Mix

3 sleeves salted Saltine Crackers

Directions

Real Texas Chili Pepper Saltines

Put crackers in a large plastic bag and set aside. You can use regular saltine crackers, I prefer to use the salted crackers, but if you are cutting down on sodium, then you can use the unsalted crackers.

In a bowl, mix oil, (I use Peanut Oil, and sometimes Olive Oil, the different oils add a little different flavor) red pepper, garlic powder, and ranch dressing. I use a large glass measuring cup so I can pour easier over the crackers.

Pour oil mixture over crackers and turn bag carefully several times.

You don’t want to break the crackers, so turn gently.

 I then several more times, turn the bag over so that all the oil is absorbed by the crackers.

Store in airtight ziplock bags.

Oyster crackers are a little more expensive but we prefer to use them with this recipe. Give them a try.

Hi, sounds good, but , you dont bake them? What keeps them from becoming soggy and falling apart?

We don’t bake them when we make them—but, as I said we use the Oyster crackers. Around here they don’t have time to get soggy before they’re all gone.

Also, we store them in a Tupperware container with tight lid.
