Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 2
Place a few popcorn kernels in the pot and cover it with a lid. When the kernels pop, the oil is ready.
Step 3
Add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot in an even layer and cover with the lid. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 4
Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
Step 5
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until fully melted.
Step 6
Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese powder and salt over the buttered popcorn. Toss again to ensure the cheese and salt are distributed evenly.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your easy cheesy popcorn!
