Easy Homemade Cheese Popcorn
How To Make Easy Homemade Cheese Popcorn
Who loves cheese popcorn? I know I do and fresh homemade always tastes so much better.
Finding cheese powder wasn't that difficult to do, but buying those little shakers was well, impractical to say the least, and not to mention expensive. So I went looking for cheese powder in bulk. I found it but the bulk brands never tasted like the little shakers that were meant for popcorn.
Then one day, I discovered the secret ingredient used by the big popcorn shops that make caramel corn, cheese corn and so much more. Mustard powder, that's right, mustard powder, and it made all the difference.
