  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 21 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 Box Cheese Crackers (Family Size or 2 small boxes)
  • 2 packets Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Packet
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Pepper
  • 4 teaspoons Dill Weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  1. Mix the Seasoning and Oil: In a large bowl, combine the ranch dressing packets, lemon pepper, dill weed, garlic powder, and vegetable oil. Whisk thoroughly until the spices are evenly incorporated into the oil.
  2. Coat the Crackers: Add the cheese crackers to the seasoned oil mixture. Stir gently but completely to ensure every cracker is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning. Scrape the bottom of the bowl to collect all the spice mixture and evenly distribute it.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the coated crackers into a large pot or baking dish. A pot is suggested for easier stirring and tossing during baking, helping the crackers cook evenly.
  4. Bake the Crackers: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake the crackers for 20 minutes total, stirring the crackers halfway through the baking time to prevent clumping and ensure even crisping.
  5. Cool and Store: Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely. After cooling, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness and freshness.

Notes

  • Use a large bowl and pot for easy mixing and baking without spilling.
  • Stirring halfway through baking is crucial to evenly coat and crisp the crackers.
  • Make sure crackers are completely cooled before storage to avoid sogginess.
  • You can adjust the seasoning quantities to suit your taste preference.
