Tonight I had a real craving for the good old salty taste of popcorn. I took care of that with one of those quick & easy packages of microwave popcorn. It took care of the immediate craving and microwave popcorn really isn’t bad but it’s still not quite the same as the stuff you used to be able to get in the movie theater.

They’d make it up in these giant popcorn machines that could hold what looked like three or four cubic feet of popped popcorn. Get a giant tub of that with extra butter and it’s showtime!

The popcorn got me looking around and I came across a recipe for mushroom popcorn that I doubt you’d ever get in a theater.

Start by getting a half cup of popcorn going in whatever popping system you use.

Melt a half cup of butter in a saucepan and add a tablespoon each of dried onion flakes and dried bell pepper flakes. Toss in several dried mushrooms cut into small pieces and stir it over a medium head for a few minutes. Pour that over the popcorn, toss it a bit to coat as much popcorn as possible, salt to taste and go for it.
