Cheesy Popcorn Recipes

CHEESY POPCORN

CHEDDAR CHEESE POPCORN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the butter, Cheddar cheese powder, mustard powder, cayenne pepper and the popcorn. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

CHEESY POPCORN BRAINS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan. Tip in the corn, cover and shake the pan to coat the kernels. Cook over a medium heat until the corn stops popping, about 5 mins, shaking the pan every so often. Take off heat and sprinkle with a little salt.
• Put cheese, mustard and pepper in a small pan and heat gently until melted and bubbling. Drizzle over the popcorn and mix well until completely coated.
• Rub hands with a little oil and quickly grab handfuls of popcorn and squeeze into brain shapes. Place on a tray lined with parchment, then leave to cool. Cover with cling film until ready to eat or store in a jar - you can make a few hours before serving.

EASY CHEESY POPCORN

Steps:

• Pop the popcorn. It can be any brand, just as long as it's plain buttered, and not anything fancy like kettle popcorn or extra cheesy popcorn.
• When the popcorn is ready, carefully take it out of the microwave and pour it into a bowl. Spray the spray butter onto the popcorn, then shake and repeat.
• After you've sprayed the butter on - after shaking the bowl, spraying on, and repeating - sprinkle the cheese popcorn seasoning onto the popcorn. Then shake and repeat again.
• If the cheese isn't sticking, repeat the shaking and spraying step.
• Enjoy! You can also use Parmesan cheese, powdered salad dressing mix, etc. Experiment with your flavors! Just remember the spray butter.

CHEESE POPCORN SNACK

Steps:

• Place popcorn in two 13x9-in. baking pans. Drizzle with melted butter. Combine garlic salt and onion salt; sprinkle over popcorn. Top with cheese. Bake at 300° for 5-10 minutes. Serve immediately.

VEGAN 'CHEESY' POPCORN

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat, heat oil and 3 popcorn kernels. When kernels pop, add remaining kernels, lower heat to medium-low, and cover almost all the way with a lid, leaving a tiny crack open for steam to escape (face the crack away from where you are standing).
• Cook, shaking occasionally, until popping stops.
• Transfer popcorn to a bowl, and immediately toss with salt, nutritional yeast, black pepper, dried rosemary and red-pepper flakes. For maximum crunch, let popcorn settle for 5 to 7 minutes before eating.

CHEESY PAPRIKA POPCORN.

Steps:

• Put oil in frying pan. Turn the hotplate onto it's highest setting.
• Test that the oil is at the correct temperature by putting one kernel of corn into the pan - when the oil is ready, the kernel will begin to turn around in the oil and sizzle.
• Turn down the hotplate temperature by half. Empty the half-cup of popping corn into the pan, and put on the pan's lid.
• Shake the pan back and forth on the hotplate regularly to prevent the corn from burning - especially once the sound of popping corn commences.
• When most of the popping stops, turn off the hotplate. Keep the pan on the hotplate though, as the remaining heat will finish off the remaining kernels. Keep shuffling the pan back and forth until all popping has ceased.
• When all popping has ceased, take pan off the hotplate completely. Take the lid off the pan, and pour popped corn into a large mixing/serving bowl.
• Sprinkle the salt and pepper over, and use your hands to shake it through the popcorn.
• Sprinkle the parmesan over, using your hands to evenly disperse it through the popcorn.
• Sprinkle the paprika, smoked paprika and garlic powder over, and mix it through with your hands until evenly dispersed.
• Serve immediately.

CHEESY GARLIC POPCORN

Steps:

• Drizzle popcorn with olive oil, then toss with remaining ingredients.
