TEXAS TRASH

Not your ordinary snack mix! A BIG, BOLD FLAVOR just like the State of Texas! This can be doubled, tripled or quadrupled successfully. You can also add other ingredients, just keep the proportion of spicy butter to the dry ingredients the same as in the recipe. I usually add goldfish crackers to mine.

TEXAS TRASH SALSA



Texas Trash Salsa image

My husband and I lived on a small island in the Azores for two years. Fresh foods were hard to come by at times, so our group of friends all found many recipes using canned foods. This recipe is from a friend named Bobbie and I still make it today, even though I can now find a multitude of fresh ingredients. This is also good when used as a topping for hamburgers. If you want to make it spicier, you can add chopped jalapenos or hot sauce to taste. Cook time is chilling time.

Categories     Sauces

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 onion
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies
1 (4 ounce) can chopped black olives
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 teaspoons garlic salt
4 tablespoons olive oil (I use extra virgin olive oil)
salt and pepper
tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Drain tomatoes well, reserving juice.
  • Put peeled and quartered onion in a blender, then top with remaining ingredients.
  • Pulse blender until ingredients are chopped as finely as you wish.
  • By putting onion in the blender first, it will chop more finely than remaining ingredients.
  • If salsa seems too thick, you can thin it by adding some of the reserved tomato juice.
  • This can be eaten immediately, but tastes best if allowed to chill for 2 hours.

TEXAS TRASH

This is a wonderful snack mix I make each holiday season. Athough this recipe makes up a good-sized batch, it never seems to last long! Any time we are invited to a Christmas gathering, I always bring along at least a 2 gallon baggie filled up with this mix. The quantities I list here are approximate. You may add more of one...

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c butter or margarine, melted
2 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
3 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 c chex cereal (use rice, wheat & corn chex or only one kind)
1 1/2 c mixed salted nuts
1 c mini pretzels or pretzel sticks
1 1/4 c goldfish crackers or oyster crackers
1 1/2 c shoestring potatoes
1 c cheerios (the original kind)
optional: a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper added to the butter mixture (go easy!! not too much!)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 250 degees. You will need a VERY LARGE bowl or tub to mix this in. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter or margarine, seasoned salt, garlic powder & Worcestershire Sauce. Heat to melt butter and blend together the flavors. (At this point, you may add cayenne pepper if desired, but BE CAREFUL!! A little bit goes a long way... Maybe no more than 1 1/2 tsp) I don't recommend cayenne if kids are eating this. They will get it on their fingers and then in their eyes. Safety first!!!
  • 2. In a VERY large bowl or tub, combine all of the dry ingredients together and blend well using your hands. It works better this way. Now dribble gently the butter mixture onto the dry mixture and using a slotted spoon, keep stirring it until evenly coated. Use all of the butter mixture.
  • 3. Using 2 very large cookie sheets (may need 3), spray them with nonstick spray. Spread the mixture evenly on the cookie sheets and bake on low heat (250 degrees) for 25 minutes, stirring twice during baking. Remove from oven, cool in the pans about 10 minutes, then store the mixture in Gallon sized (or larger if you can get them) freezer bags. I promise you...it won't last very long. It's that good!
