A: The secret is in the draining and the “seal”! Make sure you drain the beef very well, and let the cheese melt over the top of the meat mixture in the oven. The melted cheese acts as a waterproof barrier between the juicy beef and the cracker. Also, serve them warm!
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: You can absolutely cook the beef and mix in the ranch and cheese a day or two in advance and keep it in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, just warm the beef mixture up slightly, assemble them on the crackers, and bake. I don’t recommend assembling them completely and storing them in the fridge raw, as the crackers will absorb the moisture and lose their crunch.
Q: What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
A: If you somehow have leftovers, store the beef mixture and the crackers separately. Reheat the beef mixture in the microwave or on the stove, and then assemble and bake them fresh. Avoid reheating assembled bites in the microwave, as it will turn the crackers chewy and soft.
