Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  2. 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  3. 1 stick butter, melted
  4. 2 tablespoons Neely’s BBQ Seasoning, recipe follows
  5. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  6. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  7. 1 1/2 cups paprika
  8. 3/4 cup sugar
  9. 3 3/4 tablespoons onion powder

Instructions

  1. Put a large heavy bottomed pot over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Drop a few kernels of corn in the oil to test the heat. When they begin to pop, add the rest of the corn and cover with a tight fitted lid. Shake the pan while the corn pops to keep it from burning.
  2. Add the popcorn to a large bowl and drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with the BBQ Seasoning, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss thoroughly.
  3. Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Can be saved in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

suggestions for making this even better – use Mushroom Popcorn to get big fluffy pieces to catch all that great seasoning (and it looks great too and use clarified butter – it won’t make the popcorn mushy.

Me and my daughter loves you guys show (especially my daughter) well I got a question, my daughter birthday is coming up in Oct and I want to have her a Luau Party and need some tips on what to cook for it. Got any suggestion?

I think the Neely’s seasoning is what brings this recipe home – the combination of the smoky spice of the paprika with the sweetness of the sugar…it’s almost like barbecued kettle corn!

WOW! What a nice change of pace with Popcorn. Made today and served to my Husband and sons (20 & 18) and a friend of theirs. They ate it all up and asked for more! I just Love, love your BBQ Seasoning and I am looking forward to using it in more of your recipes.
Love your show Pat and Gina! You both have so much Fun in the Kitchen and show the Love! Now, how can me and my husband do that without getting on each others nerves?
