Pecan Potpourri

(Recipe from a customer in Rockdale, Texas)

Column I

  • 1 C. margarine
  • 1/4 C. bacon grease
  • 1 Tbsp. Accent
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp. garlic salt
  • 1 Tbsp. onion powder
  • ¼ to ½ tsp. red pepper
  • 4 to 5 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 C. whole pecans

Column II

  • Small bag Fritos
  • 2 C. Rice Chex
  • 2 C. Wheat Chex
  • 2 C. Corn Chex
  • 2 C. Cherrios
  • 1 large can shoestring potatoes
  • 1 jar salted peanuts
  • 1/2 bag pretzels

Melt margarine and bacon grease. Add ingredients in Column I together in pan. Put ingredients of Column II in large roasting pan. Mix gently. Drizzle Column I over Column II, mixing to cover well. Put in oven on 225 to 250 degrees, bake for 1½ hours, stirring every 15 minutes. Original recipe called for 1 Tbsp. red pepper. It’s too hot, but you may like it that way.

It’s really a good recipe. Excellent to give as Christmas gifts.
