Ingredients:

3   12 oz boxes of Rice Chex
˝  16 oz box of Wheat Chex
˝  15 oz box of Cheerios
3   Cups of Olive Oil or Crisco Oil
3   Tablespoons of Worchestershire Sauce
2   Teaspoons Liquid Smoke
2   Tablespoons Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
1   Tablespoon Garlic powder (not salt)
˝  Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper
      (If you like it spicy double the Cayenne Pepper)
˝   pkg Cheese puffs or Cheese Nips
˝   pkg of pretzels
1    large can of mixed nuts
1    large can of cashews
Directions:
Mix cereals in a large (at least 20 qts) bowl or pot, which is suitable for baking in the oven. Mix Worchestershire sauce and Liquid smoke into the Olive Oil (or Crisco Oil). Pour over cereal and mix thoroughly (toss) without breaking up the cereal too much.  

Mix Lawry’s Seasoned Salt with Garlic powder and Cayenne pepper and sprinkle one-third over the Chex mix before cooking and each time you remove it from the oven.

Bake at 250-275 for 45 min.

Add Cheese puffs or cheese nips (crackers) and pretzels. Sprinkle on Seasoned Salt, Garlic Powder, and Cayenne pepper per the instructions above again.

Bake at 250-275 for 20 min.

Add Cashews, mixed nuts, peanuts if desired and sprinkle with Seasoned Salt, Garlic Powder and Cayenne pepper again.

Bake at 250-275 for 20 min again.

Remove from the oven immediately when the time is up. Over cooking ruins the flavor.
This recipe was created by my mother. It started with a recipe she got from a friend and she modified it over the years but never wrote it down. I learned how to make it from my mother and wrote down the recipe so we wouldn't lose it. This is a favorite in our family and it would not be Christmas without Grandma's Famous Texas Trash. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and if you make this recipe I think it will become a tradition in your family too!
