Now that it’s a bit cooler out, Sunday afternoons have become our ‘movie time’. We curl up on the sofa and find a classic movie we’ve both always wanted to see. And that means we need a snack to go with it. This French onion dip popcorn was the ideal bowl of crunchy delicious goodness for our latest film choice, Rebel Without A Cause. Quite frankly, I’m not sure which was better. The popcorn or the film! They were the perfect pairing!
Better Than The Dip
You betcha, French onion dip popcorn is packed with that classic dip flavor. A little onion flavor. A little beef bouillon flavor. A bit salty. But hey, don’t stop there. You need more crunch! More onion flavor! Oh yes, bring in the French fried onions! And don’t be shy with them!
Oh. It probably doesn’t need to be mentioned but, yeah, you’re gonna have onion breath.
Plain Is Best
Got some buttered popcorn? Well, don’t grab it. I really think this recipe is best with plain popcorn. Salted (lightly) is ok. But no butter.
Fresh Is Best
You want to use, hot just-popped popcorn for this mix. While it’s still got a bit of oil on the surface if possible. The seasoning needs something to stick to. And don’t go crazy stirring when you add it, either. No point in putting in on there only to knock it off!
But… if you have to use pre-popped popcorn, that’s ok. I recommend pouring it out onto a baking sheet and popping (ha!) it into the oven at 250 F for a few minutes. Just long enough to warm it up and bring out some of those oils. You’re not getting it hot. You’re not baking lasagna. Just warm is all you need.
