Why does all store bought salsa suck absolute a$$

Like ghost peppers or actual ghosts

Meh, the neighbors grow them for me and I give them salsa.

One year they grew tomatillos and I made the most outstanding salsa verde. Made great puerco en salsa verde.

That’s the only thing tomatillos are good for

I am a mother ******* purist.

When it comes to Chex Mix. Pretty much anything else just do what floats your boat.

Thoughts on just roasting/drying ghosts into flakes/powder and just adding that to your salsa?

Prob a little easier to manage the heat than chopping bits into the salsa.

Every year before the first frost, I will pick the remaining jalepenos off the plants and dehydrate them and then grind them up and put in shakers. Usually end up with quite a few containers and give them away. It is great! Even better, you can make a normal dish for the family - then sprinkle on the jalepeno seasoning on your dish to get the heat you want.

Nope. Going too far.

Cereal, butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder , and Tony Chachere's.
Put in oven low and slow. No burning. No smoke. And definitely no freaking peanuts.

That's it.

Don't **** with perfection.

Gods damn it. Chex Mix is damn near sacred in my house.

No peanuts or pretzels in your Chex Mix?! I pronounce anathema.

Peanuts in Chex Mix - gross.
Pretzels don't absorb the wonderful flavors well, so what's the point?

I do put plain Cheerios in mine because they absorb all the leftover seasoning and become these little circles of excellence.

I did once add Cheezits and cayenne pepper. Tasted great - but we all ate so much it gave us trouble the next day. So never again!

It’s awesome! Cayenne are my favorite to dry. They just have such great flavor.
