Send your recipe to ftwhope@gmail.com

FIRE CRACKERS 4 sleeves Premium Saltines1cup canola oil2 Tbsp. Crushed Red Pepper (Pizza Pepper)1 Tsp Garlic powder1/2 Tsp. Onion powder1 pkg. Dry Ranch Salad Dressing Mix

Stand all crackers on their edges (like papers in a file) in a large bowl or Dutch Oven. Have a second bowl of similar size ready.

Mix all remaining ingredients in a small bowl to become a dressing.

Pour this mixture over the crackers. Let the dressing drain down and let set for 15 minutes. Transfer the crackers into the second bowl by hand. Reuse the same 'dressing' over the crackers again. Let sit for 15 more minutes. Repeat this cycle 2 more times.

Remove crackers from any remaining liquid and store in an air-tight container.
