Simple homemade Cheddar popcorn can be made with just 3 ingredients. Unlike popcorn from a bag or tin, this is hot and fresh. I've been making this since I was a kid. It got me in trouble though, because I used to snag the packet from the boxed mac and cheese in the pantry. Thankfully, they sell the Cheddar powder on its own now.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 0.75 cups popcorn
- 2 tablespoons heddar cheese powder
Instructions
-
1
Place oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Place 3 popcorn kernels in the pot. Cover.
-
2
Wait for all 3 kernels to pop. Add remaining popcorn kernels. Cover the pot with a lid and cook until two seconds go by and kernels are no longer popping, about 3 minutes.
-
3
Transfer popped corn to a large bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese powder over popcorn; toss. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon cheese powder over popcorn; toss again. Serve immediately.

Bacon Chili without Beans
I am not a fan of kidney beans, but I love chili and bacon. I tried switching out the beans with bacon in my mom's chili recipe, and it was an instant hit with the family. After a couple of years of tweaking the recipe to get it just right and taking it to chili cook-offs, here's what I came up with. Serve with your favorite chili mix-ins, such as Cheddar cheese and Fritos. Hope you enjoy!
