When it comes to easy snack recipes, it doesn't get much easier or tastier than our Alabama Fire Crackers! Made with saltine crackers, and a variety of spices with just enough kick, this southern snack recipe comes from The Ultimate Recipes Across America Cookbook. You can make a big batch, and have them on hand whenever the craving strikes!

What You'll Need

1 (1-ounce) packet dry ranch dressing mix
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 sleeves (1/2 box) saltine crackers

What to Do

In a 2-gallon resealable plastic bag, combine dressing mix, red pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper; mix well. Add oil and mix well.
Place crackers in bag, seal, and gently turn bag over several times until crackers are evenly coated, being careful not to break up crackers. Allow to sit about 1 hour before gently turning again. Let bag sit overnight. Store crackers in bag or an airtight container until ready to serve.

Test Kitchen Tip

If you don’t have any 2-gallon bags, you can split the seasoning mix and crackers evenly into 2 (1-gallon) bags.

These are incredibly awesome! You would think that the oil would make them soggy. The key is to at least let them rest overnight. Because you are using the correct amount of oil, the cracker absorbs the oil. Add in all that seasoning and they come out just great!

I think that is a good idea and it should work.
