Hot & Spicy Cheddar Popcorn

Make a batch of this zesty popcorn before settling in to watch your favorite team on TV - but make sure you have an icy cold beverage handy, too!

Ingredients
6 cups freshly popped popcorn
3 Tbs butter or margarine
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cayenne or ground red pepper
1/4 cup finely grated extra sharp cheddar cheese

Melt the butter or margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic powder and pepper, and remove from heat. Pour the butter mixture over the popcorn and toss to mix well (use a large bowl, or a very large plastic bag you can shake). Add the cheese and toss again to evenly distribute.

Zestfully yours,
Gloria

PS: If super-extra-hot popcorn is what you crave, then try Dave's Gourmet Insanity Popcorn. But be careful: it truly is insanely hot!
