BBQ Ranch Popcorn
If you like the flavor of BBQ and the flavor of ranch (who doesn’t), you will love this BBQ Ranch
- Serves 8 -10 cups
- Prep 10 minutes
A packet of dry Ranch Mix (love that stuff) provides the ranch flavor and a mixture of smoked paprika and brown sugar, plus a pinch of cayenne pepper gives the bbq flavor.
A little drizzle of melted butter helps the seasoning adhere to the popcorn.
Plus, popcorn always tastes better with butter.
I like to pop fresh popcorn. The flavor tastes so much better to me. But you could use 2 bags of microwave popcorn instead.
To make fresh popcorn, I pop kernels in a Dutch oven with a little canola oil coating the bottom. Simply Recipes has fantastic instructions for cooking popcorn this way.
BBQ Ranch Popcorn just may become your new favorite snack!
