beer tasting housewarming: pepper cheddar popcorn;
So we might’ve moved in over a month ago. We also might’ve had our party just under a month ago. But I did just re-make this pepper cheddar popcorn and wanted to share it with the world. Mostly because I made it by accident, and those are the tastiest recipes. Plus it’s just so fun to watch the kernels popping …!
We decided to have a beer tasting housewarming! Since everyone we invited was coming from all over, we just had everyone bring a 6-pack or a growler of some awesome local beers! We got an awesome variety, and we downed those suckers. We even had a bunch of tasting glasses we’ve gotten from various cider/beer tastings around, which made it a la fancie. T and I definitely did not have as many beers left over at the end of the night as we thought we would!
On the menu:
- Homemade Pretzels (with jarred queso dip)
- Pepper Cheddar popcorn
- Ranch popcorn
- Smoked almonds (store bought)
Here’s the recipe on my own homemade recipe card!
popcorn;
Ingredients
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ⅔ cup popcorn kernels
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1½ tsp kosher salt
Optional:
- 3 Tbsp Cheddar powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Add the canola oil and 3 popcorn kernels into a 6 quart saucepan.
- Cover and cook over medium-high heat until all 3 kernels have popped.
- Add the remaining kernels, cover, and remove from heat for 30 seconds. Then return the pot to heat and the kernels should begin popping within a minute
- Cook, shaking occasionally until the popping sound slows, approximately 2 minutes.
- Near the end of popping, lift the lid slightly to let out steam and keep popcorn crisp.
- Melt butter in a pan toward the end of popping.
- Pour popcorn into brown paper bag, and pour over melted butter.
- Shake the bag to coat evenly, then add in powders and shake again.
