TEXAS TRASH - a family favorite

TEXAS Trash is one of my very favorite recipes.  I have been making it for over 30 years.  I think my original recipe came from my dear friend Emily and her mother, Jane.  

Texas Trash is a holiday tradition - I make it and give it away time after time during the holidays. It is a favorite mix just to have around during any gathering. We like it so much that I make it all year long, but for sure at Christmas.  I have made it three times this Christmas!  

Enjoy!  You will become addicted! 


TEXAS TRASH

1 box wheat Chex
1 box rice Chex
1 box corn Chex
1 box Cheeze-Its
1 bag pretzel sticks
2 cans mixed nuts or more
1 large bag of pecan halves

Divide these ingredients equally between 2 big foil roasting pans. (I was and re-use)

Mix the following ingredients in two saucepans over medium heat. After the butter is melted and the ingredients are mixed, pour the two butter mixtures over the two pans of snack mix.

6 - 8 sticks butter and/or margarine (3-4 in each pan)

10-12 Tbsp. Worcestershire (5 in each pan)

8 Tbsp. TABASCO Original Red sauce (4)

10-12 tsp. Lawry’s season salt (5)

2-3 tsp. garlic powder (1)

Toss gently. Bake one on the top rack and one on the bottom rack. Bake at 250 degrees stirring every 30 minutes for 2 ½ hours. I switch the bottom to the top and the top to the bottom after an hour or so. I cover my table in newspaper and then wax paper. Pour the mixture out to cool. Store in an airtight container and ENJOY!!! Share with friends!
