Ingredients

  • 8 cups popped popcorn
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 tbsp nacho cheddar popcorn powder seasoning
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder

Instructions

  • Separate kernels from popcorn, and place popcorn in a large bowl.
  • Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl.
  • Mix the cheddar powder, chili powder, and mustard powder with the butter.
  • Slowly pour the butter mixture over the popcorn, shaking the popcorn as you do it so one spot doesn’t get overly saturated.
  • Let the popcorn cool about thirty minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can add extra flavors to this if you want. A sprinkle of cayenne, smoked paprika or even lime zest would all be so good in this.
  • Make sure to toss the popcorn gently after you pour the butter on to help distribute everything evenly.
  • Don't skip letting the popcorn cool a bit. It will be hot from the butter!
