Honey Sriracha Smoked Cheez-Its
-
So no matter how much sausage, BBQ, bacon, or jerky I give to friends and neighbors, they ALL say that these smoked Cheez-Its are the best thing I make. It is kind of like Chex-Mix in theory and they are fantastic.
I basically make 3 Costco sized (48oz) boxes at a time with them split evenly between two hotel pans.
Recipe is:
2/3c Avocado/Olive Oil
1/3c Kikkoman Soy Sauce
3 TBSP Hidden Valley Ranch Powder (reg or spicy)
1 TBSP Garlic Powder
1 TBSP Onion Powder
1 TBSP Black Pepper
3 TBSP McCormick Honey Sriracha Seasoning (found at Sam’s club)The Honey Sriracha is the wildcard and can be a swapped for anything you like. Have done Weber Garlic Jalapeno, BBQ rubs, etc. Just watch salt content. The rest is the “base” of the recipe.
Just combine the liquids and pour over Cheez-Its stirring to coat evenly. Then mix all dry ingredients and sprinkle over Cheez-Its and toss to combine (do this in 2-3 batches).
Then I smoke at 200F for 2 hours stirring every 20 min or so.


Jamieson22 ok sorry to bother again finally got all the ingredients to make some of these smoked chez-it’s. Here is the question if I use only one bag out of one box of chez-its would that amount of chez-its call for one application of the list of ingredients? Or is that to much seasoning?
Thanks -

ThanksJesser Which size box? If a Costco/Sam’s sized box (48oz) I’d use 2/3 the amount of seasoning listed as my recipe is for a hotel pans worth which is 1.5 Costco/Sam’s boxes (3 sleeves).

The recipe is for 3 sleeves/bags. If you use 1 sleeve/bag the recipe would be 1/3, if 2 sleeves/bags the recipe would be 2/3, if using 3 sleeves/bags if would be full recipe.

Jamieson22 OK. I think I’m addicted to these cheezits. This is the third batch I’ve made and they just keep disappearing. Not sure where they go but I had to let my belt out a notch.

wdaly LOL Love it!
Time to upgrade to larger batches. Doesn’t sound as bad to eat 1 batch vs 3
Also buy Ranch in the big container. Costco/Sam’s sells pretty cheap. -

wdaly You could always stretch it out a bit, maybe add in some honey roasted peanuts, or just salted peanuts, maybe some pretzels…

Funny but this all started for me by adding cheez-its to my smoked chex-mix. Then everyone kept saying the cheez-its were the best part. So here we are with 100% smoked cheez-its.

Jamieson22 I agree the cheez-its usually are the best parts of those mixes.

Jamieson22 Funny how sometimes a snack can evolve into a whole different being. Happy it did!

I just made my 3rd batch. This time the 24 oz family size. Altering the amounts a little each time to my personal taste. This last batch was simply out of this world! Thanks Jamieson22

Grimpuppy I’ve had good luck with using Spicy Hidden Valley Ranch and Frank’s Red Hot Powder instead of regular Ranch powder if you want some variables to play with.
