TGIFF!! Who’s ready for a weekend of football? We are!! Well, I’m looking forward to a weekend of football food. LOL! I’ve got a batch of these Cheesy Ranch Crackers ready for snacking.

How to Make Cheesy Ranch Crackers
These crackers are super easy to make. Place some mini cheese Ritz crackers in a bowl. Whisk together ranch seasoning mix, oil, and garlic powder. Pour the mixture over the crackers and toss. Place the crackers on a rimmed baking sheet and pop in the oven for a few minutes.
- Do NOT make the ranch dressing. You are only going to use the dry mix.
- If you are sensitive to the ranch dressing mix, feel free to adjust it to your personal preference.

- You can make the crackers a few days in advance and store them in an air-tight container.
- The crackers will keep several weeks. I store mine in a ziplock bag.
