Can’t Stop Eating Chex Mix
Ingredients:
Two cups Rice Chex
Two cups Corn Chex
Two cups Wheat Chex
Two cups Cheerios
Two cups pretzels
One and one-half tablespoons taco seasoning
Two tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
One and one-half tablespoons Hiland Butter
Four tablespoons (Rounded) Granny’s Good Ol’ Fashion Bacon Drippings
Directions:
Heat oven to 250 degrees.
In a roasting or cake pan, add and mix the cereals and pretzels. In a small saucepan over low heat, add the remaining ingredients. Whisk ingredients until melted and taco seasoning is incorporated. While whisking/stirring, pour mixture very slowly and as evenly as possible over the cereal mixture. Next, carefully stir the mixture to get most of the mix coated, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring well.
Cook final 15 minutes. Stir and pour out on paper towels to cool. Put in closeable container and enjoy!
Roasted Onion Dip
Ingredients:
Two cups thinly sliced sweet onion, such as Vidalia
One tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
One tablespoon balsamic vinegar
One-half teaspoon kosher salt
One cup Hiland Sour Cream
Three-fourths cup Garden Club Mayonnaise
One teaspoon garlic salt
One teaspoon onion powder
One-half teaspoon ground white pepper
One-half teaspoon dried dill weed
Two to three strips Bar-S bacon, crumbled
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
On a shallow baking sheet, toss together sliced onions, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes; remove and cool completely.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, blend remaining ingredients. When onions are cool, chop coarsely, and add to sour cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate for two hours to allow flavors to marry. Top with crumbled Bar-S bacon and serve with your favorite chips or fresh veggies.
