CAJUN CRACKERS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring water, sugar, and cream of tartar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Stir in 30 whole Ritz crackers, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon.
• Pour mixture into prepared pie crust. Crush remaining 25 crackers. Stir together crushed crackers, butter, brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle topping over filling in crust.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand at least 10 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.

Steps:

• Brown meat, onions and bell pepper. Drain.
• Pour all ingredients into large pot and heat over medium to low heat on stove top for one hour, Serve with chips or crackers. Water maybe added if the consistency is too thick.
• Editor Notes - the soup works well with most pea sized beans. Pintos and Kidneys are so close, either one or both works. When I make the soup, any beans I have available I will use. Some cooks will use 2 cans each of ranch style beans, black beans, corn, and hominy. The constants for my soup that I cook always include are the corn and hominy and either the Pintos or Kidneys beans. I have also made it using black eyes peas and the black beans.
• Visitors to the Facebook page have posted that they make this soup in a crock-pot. Over medium heat brown the ground beef and onions. Place the ground beef and other ingredients in a slow cooker noting not to drain any of the beans (no black beans). If too thick add 1 cup water. Mix to blend, and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. We have had visitors that have said they cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.. Enjoy~
