All excellent suggestions above. I might add to the list smoked Cheez-Its. Lightly coat Cheez-Its with cooking oil of your choice or bacon grease and lightly sprinkle with a savory rub of your choice. Smoke on a perforated pan or rack or even a disposable aluminum pan at 250 for 30 minutes. Serving suggestion: Take an 8 ounce brick of cream cheese and slice in half lengthwise. Take each half and sprinkle with a BBQ rub on all for sides. I like to use Oakridge Smokey Chili Lime on one half and Head Country (before they changed the recipe) on the other half. Folks usually go wild for this combo.
Also try the Fire Cracker recipe:
firecracker recipe----
1lb crackers (normally use saltines)
1 1\3 cup canola oil
1 pk dry ranch dressing
3 tbs red pepper flakes (normally 1 is enough)
Mix the liquid mixture really well. I use an immersion blender
Put crackers in large plastic container and pour mixture over crackers
tumble often for about 15 minutes until oil is no longer running down the sides of the container and is fully absorbed into the crackers
Cracker variations: saltines, Ritz, oyster crackers, Cheeze-its or the cheese flavored goldfish crackers.
Variation: Good
Tried using 1 1/3 cup bacon grease. Also added 1 tsp each of granulated garlic, granulated onion and black pepper and ½ Tbsp of Tajin seasoning. Next time I would bake in 250 degree oven for 15-20 minutes after the crackers had sat for 12-14 hours.
Merry Christmas.
