Texas Trash Mix Recipes

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.

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.

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.
• 2. Mix butter and bacon drippings in microwave safe bowl and nuke for 10 seconds until just barely melted (not hot)
• 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
