Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 250°F. Place butter and bacon grease in a large roasting pan and place in the oven to melt. You can also melt butter and bacon grease in a small saucepan.
2.Once butter and grease are melted, whisk in Worcestershire, mustard, garlic, onion, and hot sauce. Taste and salt to desired amount. I used unsalted butter and about 2 tsps of Kosher salt. You can also sub ranch dressing mix for the spices if you want ranch chex mix.
3.If using a sauce pan, pour mixture into a roasting pan.
4.Quickly add cereal, pretzels, bagel chips, and nuts to the pan and toss to coat as evenly as possible.
5.Place roaster into the oven and bake for about 1 hour, stirring thoroughly every 15 minutes.
