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.
