Homemade Seasoned Ranch Cheese Crackers

These crackers do not prevent conception. Keep reading. And there are affiliate links.

This recipe was even BETTER than the seasoned ranch oyster cracker recipe we had been using. Why? Because of the cheese crackers. They added one more layer of cheese goodness to the flavors we had already become addicted.

But we didn’t want to call them seasoned ranch cheese crackers. No. That was too boring for this amazing cracker. The flavors were strong and we kept coming back for more.

If you like this snack you are going to want to make a batch of my Mexican corn dip or grab your chips and scoop up my cast iron grilled pizza dip.

Homemade Seasoned Ranch Cheese Crackers

The conception of this recipe started in college with the traditional homemade seasoned ranch crackers. But as most recipes created, this one was also created by mistake. We were out of the oyster crackers but only had cheese crackers in the house. Being in college, we figured…what could go wrong!?

Nothing went wrong! Everything went right!

Birth Control Cracker: The explanation

After much discussion it was decided that these new crackers were going to be called Birth Control crackers. What?! Why?

Because after your eat them, your breath is so pungent with the layers of dill, garlic and cheese cracker that NO one is getting any lovin’.

Birth control.

We all had a good laugh about it know that these crackers were not a true form of contraception but just a silly way of referring to our new favorite homemade snack food.

Bake Ranch Cheese Crackers

I use a large pot to bake my crackers because I find it easier to stir them. Feel free to use 2 sheet trays if you like.

Bake at 325 for 20 minutes, stirring 1/2 way through.

Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

  1. I HAD to click over from Pinterest to see what the story was with these cleverly-named crackers. Too funny!! Love it and I bet I’d love the crackers, too!

  3. I thought for sure the name came about for another reason. They are “crack” crackers, you can’t stop eating them, fattening with all that oil and that is where the birth control comes in. LOL

  4. I’ve made these 2x now. The first time with regular cheez-its and the recommended ingredients. They were kind of bland. Next time I used 1/2 the oil and the Italian 4 cheese, cheez-its. Super yum! Making them again (third time) right now the way I made them the second time. Can’t wait to eat them up! I did add 2x as much garlic this time though because I LOVE garlic.
