TEXAS TRASH | SPICY CHEX MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275°F and have ready one to two large rimmed baking sheets.
• Add the Corn, Rice, and Wheat Chex to a large mixing bowl, along with the Bugels, bagel chips, rye chips, and pretzels. Use your hands to toss until evenly combined.
• Add the butter, Worcestershire sauce, Tony's Creole Seasoning, seasoned salt, and garlic powder to a microwave-safe bowl. If you want the mix to be extra spicy, add the hot sauce as well. Heat at 30-second intervals, until melted.
• Drizzle the melted butter evenly mixture across bowl cereal mix and use your hands to gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Be sure to wash your hands well.
• Add the mix to the rimmed baking sheet in a layer no thicker than one inch thick. Use a second baking sheet if necessary.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Then, stir up/toss the mixture using a spatula, return to the oven, and bake for 15 minutes more. Allow to cool and serve, or store in an airtight container for up to four weeks.

TEXAS TRASH

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 250 degees. You will need a VERY LARGE bowl or tub to mix this in. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter or margarine, seasoned salt, garlic powder & Worcestershire Sauce. Heat to melt butter and blend together the flavors. (At this point, you may add cayenne pepper if desired, but BE CAREFUL!! A little bit goes a long way... Maybe no more than 1 1/2 tsp) I don't recommend cayenne if kids are eating this. They will get it on their fingers and then in their eyes. Safety first!!!
• 2. In a VERY large bowl or tub, combine all of the dry ingredients together and blend well using your hands. It works better this way. Now dribble gently the butter mixture onto the dry mixture and using a slotted spoon, keep stirring it until evenly coated. Use all of the butter mixture.
• 3. Using 2 very large cookie sheets (may need 3), spray them with nonstick spray. Spread the mixture evenly on the cookie sheets and bake on low heat (250 degrees) for 25 minutes, stirring twice during baking. Remove from oven, cool in the pans about 10 minutes, then store the mixture in Gallon sized (or larger if you can get them) freezer bags. I promise you...it won't last very long. It's that good!

SLOW COOKER TEXAS TRASH PARTY MIX

Steps:

• 1. In a small pan melt butter and mix in Worcestershire Sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt. Stir to make sure all ingredients are dissolved.
• 2. Place remaining ingredients in a slow cooker and mix well. Slowly stir in butter mixture, coating all ingredients well.
• 3. Cook on low, stirring every 30 minutes for 3 hours.
• 4. *Note: You can add whatever ingredients you prefer. I do not like pretzels but that is one that many people add. You can put in different types of nuts or crackers, let your imagination run wild. If you like spicy food, hot sauce or cayenne pepper could also be added. Just make it to your liking.

TEXAS TRASH MIX (SALLYE)

Steps:

• 1. Mix cereal, pretzels and nuts into a very large roasting pan. I sometimes add a large box of Cheddar fish to the mix.

• 3. Remove from microwave and add seasonings and whisk together until well blended. Spoon over cereal mixture, then carefully mix until all the cereal mixture is coated with the butter mixture. Note: I use my hands for this task.
• 4. Cook in open pan for 1 hour in 250 degree oven, stirring every 15 minutes

TEXAS TRASH

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 250° F Mix all Chex cereals, pretzels, and peanuts together in a large bake-safe container. While we prefer peanuts, we sometimes substitute peanuts with pecans (the state nuts and tree!), pistachios, or cashews. Depends on everyone palate.
• 2. Next, melt butter then stir in Worchestershire sauce, Tobasco sauce, season salt and garlic salt. Bring to slight boil. In our house, we use Original and Habanero Tobasco flavors with Lea and Perrins; but again, use what you prefer!
• 3. Combine the mix and the melt and fold to coat well. Pop in the oven for 45 minutes. Its important to not bake it any higher, otherwise you will burn off the coating! Every 15 minutes, fold and stir the mix gently to avoid it sticking and baking to your bake-ware.
• 4. Once finish in the oven, turn on to paper towels to cool, and store in air tight containers.

• Stir bacon drippings, unsalted butter, Worcestershire sauce, MSG, liquid smoke, cayenne pepper, seasoned salt, chili powder, garlic powder, and hot pepper sauce together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high in microwave for 3 or 4 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until mixture is warm, liquid, and fully combined.
• Stir seasoning sauce continuously as you pour half over the cereal mixture in each pan. Gently stir the snack mix and seasonings with a slotted spoon until thoroughly coated; do not crush cereal.
