Ingredients

• Neely's BBQ Seasoning:
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 1 stick butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Neely's BBQ Seasoning, recipe follows
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups paprika
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 3/4 tablespoons onion powder
• Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Can be saved in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Preparation

Step 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.

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.
