Mix:
- 3 cups each of Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Wheat Chex - the reason for the season
- 2 cups Cheerios - "heart healthy"
- 2 cups peanuts - salted, of course, you monster
- 2 cups Cheezits - you might be tempted to use "extra toasty" but it didnt do much for me
- 1 cup pretzels - the long ones slow down cramming handfuls of mix into your mouth, this can be a feature or a bug
Seasoning:
- ~16 tablespoons butter (2 sticks) - grass-fed or tortured, your choice (its hard to find grass-fed AND tortured)
- 4 tablespoons Worchestershire - I dont refrigerate this, YMMV
- 3 teaspoons seasoned salt - try it on popcorn and watch how dehydrated you feel
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder - the cheapest spice brand I can find, preferably with questionable quality control
- 1 teaspoon onion powder - see above
- preheat oven to 250 degrees
- combine the mix in a large roasting pan and toss
- melt butter in a saucepan
- add seasoning and stir into butter
- drizzle seasoning over mix
- toss mix to coat evenly and place in oven
- stir every 15min
- bake for one and half hours
- pour the mix out over brown paper to cool - if you use brown paper grocery bags and cut them flat you've reached peak midwest cuisine
