Ingredients

Scale

Chips

  • 2 x 10.5 oz bags Frito Original Corn Chips

Seasoning and Butter Mix

  • 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons Montreal Steak Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chips: In a large bowl, pour the two bags of Frito Original Corn Chips to start the base of your snack.
  2. Make Butter Seasoning Mix: Combine the melted butter and the packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning thoroughly until well blended.
  3. Coat the Chips Gently: Slowly pour the butter and ranch mixture over the chips in small increments. Fold the chips gently to coat, being careful not to break them.
  4. Add Montreal Steak Seasoning: With every addition of the butter mixture to the chips, sprinkle some Montreal Steak Seasoning evenly to ensure consistent flavor distribution.
  5. Slow Cook the Chips: Transfer the coated chips into a slow cooker set to high heat, leaving the lid off. Cook for 1.5 hours, stirring every 15 to 20 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Alternatively, cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring occasionally with the lid off.
  6. Serve: Once cooking is complete and chips are crisped and flavorful, transfer them to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Stirring frequently in the slow cooker without the lid helps keep the chips crispy while blending flavors.
  • Be gentle when mixing to avoid breaking the chips and losing the crunch.
  • For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning blend.
  • Serve these chips fresh for the best texture; they may become less crispy if stored.
  • You can customize the seasoning by swapping Montreal Steak Seasoning for your favorite spice blend.
