Ingredients you will need
To make my cheese popcorn you will need parmesan cheese (the powdered type), onion powder, mustard powder, salt, olive oil and popcorn!
Step by step instructions
Step one: Heat the oil over medium heat in a large pot (that you have a lid for). Add 2 or 3 of the popcorn kernel into the oil.
Step two: When the popcorn kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels, put the lid on the pot, and reduce the temperature to low. The popcorn should start popping, give the pot the odd shake, and leave it on the low heat until the popping slows, this should only take a couple of minutes.
Step three: Turn off the heat, remove the lid and allow the popcorn to cool.
Step four: In a small bowl combine the parmesan, salt, onion powder, and mustard powder.
Step five: Once the popcorn is cool, add the parmesan cheese popcorn seasoning mix to the pot and shake well so that all the popcorn is well seasoned.
Serve.
