Chex Mix with Steak Sauce

This time of year we are busy making different Chex mixes, Christmas cookies, “dishes to pass” & dishes to eat! Tis the season…right?!  One of my co-workers brought this unique mix into work one day and I loved it.

We had some left over cashews & peanuts & thought we would try making it ourselves.

Chex Mix with Steak Sauce

~Provided by Marilyn Kuhlmann

2 cups Corn Chex

2 cups Rice Chex

2 cups Wheat Chex

1 can mixed nuts (11.5 oz) or about 2 cups of nuts

1 can French Fried Onions (2.8 oz.)

¼ cup butter, melted

1 Tbs. brown sugar

1 Tbs. steak sauce (preferably A-1, buy you can use any)

In large microwave safe bowl, combine cereals, nuts & onions.  In small bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, & steak sauce.  Pour over cereal mixture & toss to coat. Microwave on high for 5 – 6 minutes, stirring 3 times.  Cool on waxed paper and store in airtight container. (Makes 2 qts.)

Tupps Tidbits ~ I choose to do this in the oven versus the microwave because I have found that is makes the mix crispier & more evenly distributed

Sean decided to make this in the oven instead of microwave.  We baked at 250 degrees for 45 minutes, stirring it every 15 minutes. We decided this is definitely a KEEPER but will add a bit more of the steak sauce next time or try the A-1.
