Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- 1 Family size box of Cheese Crackers (21 oz) or 2 small boxes
Seasoning Mix
- 2 packets Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing Seasoning Mix
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Pepper
- 4 teaspoons Dill Weed
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Oils
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- Mix Seasonings and Oil: In a large bowl, combine the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packets, lemon pepper, dill weed, garlic powder, and vegetable oil. Whisk thoroughly until all the spices are evenly blended with the oil.
- Coat Crackers: Add the cheese crackers to the bowl and gently stir, making sure every cracker is completely coated in the seasoned oil. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to incorporate all the flavorful seasoning into the crackers.
- Prepare Baking Pot: Transfer the coated crackers into a large pot or baking dish. This makes it easier to stir the crackers during baking and ensures even cooking.
- Bake: Place the pot in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) and bake the crackers for 20 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, stir the crackers thoroughly to prevent burning and promote uniform crispness.
- Cool and Store: Once baking is complete, remove the pot from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely. After cooling, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a large pot or baking dish with high sides to make stirring easier during baking.
- Be sure to cool the crackers completely before storing to avoid sogginess.
- You can adjust the amount of seasoning mix according to your taste preference.
- Store in an airtight container to keep the crackers fresh for up to 1 week.
- This recipe works well with other flavored crackers if desired.
