Nacho Cheddar Saltines Archives

My addiction to flavored saltine crackers is getting worse. It all started a few weeks ago when I made a batch of Fire-Eater saltines. They were packed with heat and flavor. They disappeared in no time at all. I’ve since made several other flavors, all of them great. But these nacho cheddar saltines aren’t great. They’re greater than great. Very similar in flavor to those little old fish-looking crackers, but oh so much better. And easier to make that’s for sure!

Make A Bunch. A Whole Bunch.

There’s absolutely no point in making only one sleeve of nacho cheddar saltines. They’ll be gone before the 8 hour ‘resting’ time is up. Make a whole box and you’ll thank me. Just store them in an air-tight container or baggie until you’re ready to serve them!

You can use something like Kernel Seasons Nacho Cheddar seasoning when you make these crackers. Or grab a big ole jar of cheddar cheese powder and go to town! You might think, “Oh my that’s a huge jug of cheese powder” but really, after you taste it and start making snack treats like these, you’ll realize it’s right-sized for the jobs at hand.

Wait, It’s That Easy?

Yes! It sure is! And you can make saltine crackers with any flavor you want. Go nutso with it. The process is just like it is for these crackers. Warm them up. Get them ready for flavors to come. Then, add that seasoning. A lot. Or a little. Then stir gently. I mean super-gently. You don’t want to break your crackers into pieces. Serve them warm or let them cool first.

The crackers are great for parties. Why put out bowls of right-out-of-the-bag chips when you can have a bowl of delicious crackers… and whatever flavors you want!

I recommend using cheap saltine crackers. There’s no reason to use expensive ones. You’ll make them fancy. They don’t have to start out fancy.
