Tips for Making the Best Cheddar Cheese Popcorn

Use fresh popcorn kernels. Fresh kernels will pop better and have a better flavor than older kernels.
Preheat your oil or butter. This will help the kernels pop evenly and prevent them from burning.
Don't overcrowd the popcorn maker. If you overcrowd the popcorn maker, the kernels won't have enough room to pop properly.
Shake the popcorn maker frequently. This will help to distribute the kernels evenly and prevent them from burning.
Don't overcook the popcorn. Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, it's time to turn off the heat.
Season the popcorn immediately. This will help the seasoning stick to the popcorn.
Use a variety of seasonings. You can use cheddar cheese powder, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, or any other seasoning you like.
Serve the popcorn immediately. Popcorn is best when it's fresh and hot.
