Grandma Bryan’s Oyster Crackers
Do you want to know what really amazes me? How people can spend hours and days and weeks studying something and still get it wrong, but then can recall every detail of a memory down to a smell from so far back in their childhood. One of my fondest memories as a child, you guessed it – something to do with food, is going to my grandma’s house in Louisiana. The very first thing she would do as soon as we stepped out of the car was hand my brother and I each our own huge ziploc of these oyster crackers. I can remember exactly how amazing they looked covered in dill, packaged with our names written in sharpie, and the ranch smell seeping through the bag. So naturally I equate this recipe with family and love and it definately has a special place in my heart… and so began the battle between food and my hips 🙂
Ingredients:
- 1 (1 oz.) package ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp lemon pepper
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 package oyster crackers (9 oz.)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 250-275 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together and toss to coat the crackers evenly.
- Spread the oyster crackers out on a baking sheet evenly, and bake for 15-20 min, until they turn golden, tossing halfway through.
Best Memories Ever!
She would have a ziplock for us when we got home from school.
BEST oyster crackers ever!! ate a jar today before noon… keep’em coming Lizzy!!!
Yes, I too fight that battle, sometimes it just isn’t fair! 😀 Love your story and the cracker recipe!
These crackers go so well with dang near anything! Oye Vey Crackers you should call them. Nom Nom! We are going to try these tonight, so we are going crackers for crackers!
Love Grandma’s oyster crackers! I could spoil my appetite for dinner with these. Don’t make me share unless you have a spare bag somewhere close….
A great salty snack. I always wondered why they are called oyster crackers.
Oh yum. We’ve always got a box of oyster crackers in our pantry. I’ve never thought to embellish them. Great treat! I love ranch flavored anything so I’m pretty psyched about these.
What a wonderful memory! These crackers sound delicious!
I like the idea of making my own crackers. Great recipe.
Loved Oyster Crackers as a kid, used to hoard them from the local diners….
These sound delish though; could see me just eating them by the handful, or even tossing them into a nice creamy soup-like a New England Clam chowder or Potato Soup…
Yum….
Thank you!! Yes these are amazing… I love making them for my boyfriend and the guys while they watch sports… gives me something to do haha! Tossing them in a soup sounds really good…. I will try that!!!
