Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
8 cups popcorn, popped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt margarine. Add chili powder, garlic salt, and onion powder. Stir to mix well.
  • In a large bowl, pour margarine mixture over popped popcorn. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and toss to coat well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right popcorn kernels. For the best results, use a variety of popcorn kernels that are specifically designed for popping. Avoid using old or stale kernels, as these will not pop as well and may result in a lower yield.
  • Use the correct amount of oil. The amount of oil you use will affect the flavor and texture of your popcorn. Too much oil can make your popcorn greasy, while too little oil can make it dry and bland. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 tablespoon of oil for every 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels.
  • Heat the oil properly. The oil should be hot enough to pop the popcorn, but not so hot that it burns the kernels. The ideal temperature for popping popcorn is between 350 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Shake the pan frequently. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning. You should shake the pan every few seconds until the popping slows down.
  • Remove the popcorn from the heat when it is done popping. This will prevent the popcorn from burning. Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
  • Season the popcorn to your liking. You can use a variety of seasonings to flavor your popcorn, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, or cheese powder. You can also add other toppings, such as melted butter, shredded cheese, or chopped bacon.

Conclusion:

Making chili cheese popcorn is a quick and easy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying snack that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give chili cheese popcorn a try!
