TEXAS TRASH



Texas Trash image

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.

KRISTY'S TEXAS TRASH

"Chex mixes" can of course be bought from almost every grocery & mega stores these days, but none of them hold a candle to this tried & true snack from scratch! I adapted my version from a Ladybird Johnson recipe out of a cookbook my husband gave me almost 20 years ago. And no-butter CANNOT be substituted for the margarine. I cook around 1 lb. of bacon to get the grease & drippings needed. Texjoy Steak seasoning is the only one I use. It's available online and limited availability in southern grocery stores.

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.
