Take the extra time to use REAL chicken and not that canned mess :barf: and I use Texas Pete Buffalo wing sauce instead of the hot sauce. Serve up with some roasted garlic triscuits :yum: :yum: I could eat the whole dish by myself


My wife makes the exact recipie.... good stuff. The Texas Pete makes a huge difference.

My MIL made these for the holidays. I couldn't stop sneaking them. T

INGREDIENTS

1 (1 ounce) package Ranch-style dressing mix
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
5 cups oyster crackers

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine the dressing mix, dill weed, vegetable oil, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Add oyster crackers, and toss to coat. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring gently after 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to cool before serving.
You can use that same recipe substituting hard pretzel pieces for the oyster crackers...:yay:

OMG, those are so good! Once you start eating them you can't stop :yum:

And speaking of addictive "pop in your mouth" foods, my 15 year old got this idea from a confection we got in Nags Head.

3 handfuls of Rice Chex
3 handfuls of Multi-Grain Chex (2 different kinds of chex mix will do)
3 handfuls of pecans
2 or 3 handfuls of pretzel wheels
1 bag of White Chocolate Chips

In a big bowl, with a top, put the cereals, pecans and pretzels. Mix it up.

In a double boiler, melt half a bag of white chocolate chips. Slowly pour the chocolate all over the cereal mixture. Put the top on the bowl and shake until well coated.

Spread chocolate/cereal mixture onto a cookie sheet lined in wax paper. Let chocolate harden compeltely. Once chocolate is hardened, break into bite size pieces and store in an air-tight container.

Enjoy, but I warn you, this stuff is addictive...

Here's another one. My 15 year old came up with this too...

Quesadilla pinwheels
16 oz container cream cheese
1 envelope Old ElPasa Taco Seasoning
Picante Sauce
Soft Tortillas

Mix cream cheese & Taco Seasoning well. Take a soft tortilla, and spread about 2 or 3 tbsp of cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla. Then spread about 1 to 2 tbsp picante sauce. Roll tortilla. Refrigerate for about an hour. Slice tortillas into 1 inch thick pinwheels.

Lovin' Life
Mexican Dip

I have a great mexican dip

Mexican Dip

1 to 1 1/2 lb hamburger
1 envelope Ol Elpaso taco seasoning
1 cup salsa
1 16 oz container sour cream
1 can refried beans
shredded cheese
Bag of Tostitos chips

Brown hamburger, drain
add taco seasoning and water as directed on package
add salsa and simmer.

Pour mixture into a baking dish (I use the Paperer Chef large round baking dish). Spread refried beans on top. (I usually heat in microwave first - makes it easier to spread). Spread sour cream on top of refried beans. Top with shredded cheese. Place in oven on 350 for approx. 15 min. or until it looks like it's heated through. It will be bubbling around the sides. Serve wih Tostitos chips.

When we go to parties now I'm not allowed to come unless I bring this with me.
