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 nice, that looks great.
Do prefer the avocado oil or olive oil? Thanks for sharing! -

Jamieson22 sorry but I got a follow up question. If you use 3 each 48oz boxes of chez its you apply 2 or 3 batches of the ingredients to the chez its?
If I only want to make 1 box then I would mix up only 1 or 1 1/2 batches of the ingredients and apply according to your directions?
Again thanks -

Again thanksJesser recipe is for 1.5 Costco boxes - which is 3 sleeves that fits in a single hotel pan. I just always make two batches of that at a time as it fits in my smoker.
Also no major preference on avocado vs olive oils. I use whatever I have on hand from Costco.

Again thanksJesser to clarify if you only want to make 1 box (48oz Costco size) do 2/3 of the seasonings/recipe. Also this is far from an exact science so you can wing it.

Jamieson22 ok thanks for the reply I understand.
You must of bought all the McCormick seasoning from Sam’s club they are out or your posting caused a buying frenzy that ran them out. Lol!
Have a great year -

Have a great yearJesser it is probably a seasonal thing else may no longer be stocked. I’d just wing it with something else that sounds good to you as that last seasoning. Hard to go wrong.

Mine too

Of course it is!

So seems the McCormick’s Honey Sriracha Seasoning is MIA but I did find this one at Costco today to give a shot. As mentioned, that final seasoning is a wild card so may as well try something new (but also have like 5 jars of the McCormick’s in the spice cabinet)!

I found the MIA seasoning (McCormick’s Honey Sriracha Seasoning) on Amazon last night.
And now I look once again and it is unavailable. -
Gonna give this a shot with some Lawry’s I found on Amazon.

And you can make these with any seasoning and they will be great so feel free to swap that for something else that sounds good to you.
