Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks. I enjoy eating it all kinds of different ways. Butter, sugary-sweet, spicy with a kick or mixed with other goodies to make a trail mix. It’s all good to me!
Today’s guest post recipe is courtesy of Popcorn.org. It will make approximately 4 servings. Once you have it prepared you’ll want to store any leftovers in an airtight container or storage bag. Great for tailgating parties, family get-togethers, or just for your own personal snacking enjoyment!
Beef Jerky Chili Popcorn Recipe
8 cups unsalted, unbuttered popped popcorn
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon each garlic powder and paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped beef jerky
Preheat oven to 300° Fahrenheit. Line large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil; spread popcorn evenly on baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese over top.
In small pan set over medium heat, melt butter; stir in chili powder, garlic powder, paprika and salt. Bring to light boil; remove from heat.
Drizzle hot butter mixture over popcorn; sprinkle with beef jerky. Bake, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until popcorn is dry and crisp. Toss gently; transfer to shallow serving bowl.

This is a completely different popcorn recipe. I would never have thought to add jerky to popcorn.
Good recipe for a different flavor. I like that it has a kick to it and is different than the sweet flavored ones. The beef jerky is a nice addition.
Lots of good flavors in this popcorn. More cheese please….
This sounds really good. It would be perfect for binge watching or movie night!
