Peppered Pecans

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine

• 3 cups pecan halves

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce such as Tabasco

• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt such as Lawry's

Method

Preheat oven to 250°F. Place the butter in a 2 cup microwave-safe container and cover with a paper towel. Microwave 1 minute, on high, or until melted. Meanwhile, place the pecans in a single layer in a 9 by 13 inch baking dish; set aside. Remove the butter form the microwave, and stir in the garlic, hot pepper sauce and seasoned salt. Drizzle the butter mixture over the pecans and stir to coat. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour or until the pecans are crisp, stirring every 20 minutes. Remove pecans from oven and cool to room temperature. Store in airtight containers for up to one month.
