Easy Microwave Real Cheese Popcorn - Chicago Style At Home 

Game changing recipe man!! I just watched your video, ran out to the store to buy margarine (because I never use the stuff) and I actually have been buying Anthony’s cheese for years so had it in the pantry. It turned out perfect! I’ve always tried buttering the corn and then sprinkling the Anthony’s on there. Always end up with a bunch of wasted cheese powder at the bottom of the bowl and never really happy with the results. God bless you for this recipe ! :) 🍿 🧀

Ok…so I just used your method…👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You are a GIFT to the world!!!

Thank you Mr. Dale, your video is exactly what i was looking for. Please keep poping out more recipes, i enjoy not only your style of cooking but also the way you explain. thank you.

Dude, I've been looking for this for 40+ years. Thank you

This is by far the best recipe video on how to make Chicago popcorn. Thank you!

🧡Thanks to this technique video and product recommendations, we make this almost weekly for family movie night! You explained everything so thoroughly, including what to expect if we alter your technique and ingredients, which we don't. Also, we now freeze our popcorn kernels (we thaw before using, but I'm not sure if that's necessary). Thank you for such a well-presented, easy-to-follow video! 🧡 For those of you experiencing an "overly coconutty" taste, be sure you're using REFINED coconut oil. For the cheese sauce, we've also *successfully* used clarified butter/ghee instead of coconut oil. For those of you experiencing "chewy" popcorn (we've been there plenty of times), the problem is likely STEAM. Try not to let hot popcorn sit in an airtight container---allow the steam to vent. We recently got a stovetop popper, so have adapted the technique in this video to use it. We also make homemade Chicago MIX (your cheese popcorn technique + Glaze-Pop brand caramel popcorn) now. Just wanted to leave a review and say thank you! 🧡🧡🧡

I have been trying to duplicate Garretts for about 2 yrs and you my friend are a wonderful wizard!!! Thanks so much as I am all over this now!!

I had been craving Garrett's popcorn for so long. The closest one is 3 hours away and it's expensive to have shipped since you have to order with the popcorn tin. I've made this recipe several times - use the Anthony's cheese powder as suggested in the video and it is SOOOOOOO good! Thanks for posting!

I can really relate to making things I tried as a young kid, really glad you perfected the recipe! I have to try it!

Made it in the microwave the way you did and it came out Fantastic. When I made mine in the pan with oil it was to chewy. Now I want to buy a microwave bowl like you have. Fantastic your the Man.

Wow!!! Can’t wait to try this, thank you so much! Great explaining!

Thank you for sharing and not gatekeeping. I'm going to try this very soon. Bless you. ❤

Thanks for this, Dale! Really enjoyed your passion for popcorn, and have been looking how to recreate this flavor at home :)

Awesome! I experimented soooo many times trying to find that “Garrett’s” taste. Different powders and oils, and all were pretty much fails. The closest I came was canola oil and a commercial “sprinkle” powder, but it was much too salty. Thanks for this! I can save myself time and money now!!

I’m really excited to try this. I didn’t realize that the cheese popcorn I was craving was Chicago style. I have a couple of powdered cheddar here that I like but I will look into buying the one you have too! 🧀 🍿✨

Thank you Dale….this sounds so yummy I want to try your recipe !

I love your instructions!

My sister has gone to Vegas twice since this pandemic and both times, including today (Labor Day), Garrett's was closed. She even sent me a pic not even an hour ago. I told her, thassokay. I'm gonna make my own Garrett's and call it Jarrett's, after my youngest son. So I came to RU-vid to see what direcrion to go in. Hence, I'm here. Thank You!I🍿🙂 ..now, off to Amazon I go!😁 I got a small unopened jar of coconut oil and some Orville already. I'll try it with my unsalted butter, first.

Great recipe what you can do is to place popcorn on a baking sheet to air in a warm oven for a few min. to dry will work really well.

WOW thank you for sharing this! Every since Orval Redenbacher‘s pour over cheddar, I’ve been looking for something similar. This is so good I could not find Tony’s cheddar do cheese , so I had to buy something else. This is so wonderful! I think I’m going to eat the entire batch❤

Thanks for sharing this! I live in the Chicagoland area and I've been looking for this recipe for about 2 weeks now! I just bought the cheese you recommended from Amazon and I will make some this weekend. Thanks again for sharing!

Amazing video!! Surprise you don’t have more followers. I just ordered my cheese and ready to try this tomorrow

Thanks for the video Mr Dale, i've tried it. It works well. I used the cheddar powder and mox it with some palm oil. Thanks man..

My favourite recipe Thank you for sharing

Thank you for this recipe!

Thank you soo much!! I been looking for how to do this!! 😊

thanks. i have been looking for this recipe after having it once at a cinema hall. finally found it .

I am gonna order this cheddar and follow your recipe! The closest garret I have is in Vegas and I have to stop there any chance I can get!!! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!

I can't wait to try it. I was just at a art fair and asked why don't they do cheddar cheese popcorn as well as the kettle. I'm from Michigan I know what you mean about the melt in your mouth popcorn in chicago. I'm very excited thank you so much

Thank you great recipes for cheese popcorn. Please make more videos. Thank you

I love popcorn too! Garrett’s is the best. Can’t wait to try your recipe!......and, I never thought to use oil for microwave popcorn🤔...

Thank you for the recipe 👍

Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️

Thank you I subscribed. Funny today for the first time I bought coconut oil. And I have to do real butter. I leave in the microwave for about 30 seconds stop kind of let it cool down and then for however long I need to melt the rest.

This stuff is yummy great video

Awesome recipe 😋😋

Looks Great! 🍿 🍿

Wow. This is dope!

looks so good

great video sir loved it

Well explained and detailed

Making this today! Thank you 😊

Thank you!

I tried this with the WinCo powdered cheese sauce and it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I tried it - made the pop corn with oil. There was not enough cheese so I made a stronger batch of cheese - it was better. I have made Carmel - Chocolate - Cracker Jack and kettle corn with the chocolate glaze which is my favorite. Your pop corn was chewy I hate chewy. I had four bags of the different flavors above so I made heavy oil and cheese and poured over it and into the oven. I love it - you get it all. Thanks for sharing. Next I will just make my Carmel with roasted peanuts - do the oven - and then pour the cheese on. Good Luck Everybody.

thanks for sharing it, amazing

Thanks I'm going to try this

Just tried this. It's great. I thought it would be soggy from the cheddar paste. It was not. So glad I gave it a try.

👍🏽👍🏽 I live in Chicago very familiar with Garrett’s you also have to keep it in the fridge if not stale it will be. They have a good one pecan Carmel corn mix that with the cheese, boy oh boy it’s good 😊

Lovely I will try in home thankyou sir I am searching cheese popcorn recipe from many months now I got it and sir how to make caramel popcorn

Thank you!!!

Love it. Ty

I can't wait to try this !!! Happy to see you here subscribed so that i can see more content.

I tried it out and this is a fantastic dupe Sir!

Been craving this popcorn since moving from Chicago.... can't wait to try this. Any recipes for the caramel popcorn as well? Thanks

Thanks a lot

I copy you and it’s fantastic - now I’m going to make the coco by the same brand. Anthony’s cocoa with the coconut oil.

Look delicious

Popcorn in the Freezer! That's the real tip! Also amazing video. Going to try it out myself!

Yummy😍

Thanks you from congo

Wow! Six tablespoons of oil for 1/3 C popcorn before we even get to the cheese is insane. I guess this one is for those with nothing left to lose

I just found your video and absolutely love your instructions. I do have a question, can I stick it in the oven to help it Harden some? I don't know what Chicago popcorn is like but I wanna make a cheddar popcorn that's not wet

Have you tried melting fresh cheddar cheese in the coconut oil rather than the dehydrated? I'm asking because I always have it in the fridge. I've never tried nor heard of Chicago style cheese popcorn and I'm anxious to try this.

Great input all around, thank you! By the way, does it not make the popcorn soggy since coconut oil or any oil at all when poured over the popped corn must contain a lot of moisture? Also, what other oils can we use instead of coconut oil, I feel a neutral tasting oil would be a better choice no?

TY

This turned out great! Coupled with my family's recipe for caramel corn, you've taken it to a new level!

You dont know how much i love you right now. I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out how to make gourmet cheese popcorn. Im tired of paying 20 dollars for one bag and i crave it comstantly. It may be a little expensive at first to start out but the much bigger yield you get is so worth it. Thank you so much !!!! ********EDIT******** Finally made some and it is delicious. Just like the real deal. Highly recommended.

Like he said, decades ago, before they sold it, you could seen them hand churn the cheese into the popcorn in giant metal drums. You always had to wait because it was made to order

Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try it - where did you buy that beautiful red bowl? Please.

That microwave is HUGE!

3 tbsp margarine (melted) 1/3 cup popcorn kernels 3 tbsp coconut oil (melted) 3 tbsp cheddar power

can i use butter instead of coconut oil does it will taste better ?

He said it’s good around 420 and I am just going to agree with high it’s done just in time 420 baby

nice

ممتاز 🤩 👌🏻

How long does it stays crunchy?

Does the coconut oil lend any coconut flavor to the cheese sauce? / Does it come out sweeter than if you used another oil?

Love this popcorn - but can’t find the cheese anywhere now.

Any thought on gee?

03/21/23,,,i put a bag of Velveeta creamy cheese on a batch of popcorn last night,,and ate it with a fork👍🏼 Oh Yeah

Hey boys and girls. I got to turn ya on to this. MY POPCORN i sprinkle 1/2 tbs. jalapeno powder on my bag of popcorn, that was cooked and shook up OMG YUM ~ YOU GOT TO TRY THIS 👍👍

What brand of coconut oil you used??

I couldn't wait to try this cheese corn. I went to order Anthony's Cheddar Cheese Powder but apparently, they don't sell it anymore. Do you know of a similar cheddar cheese powder?

I think it’s pretty good at 4:20 …😂😂

what would the recipe be if i needed 2 cups of cheese sauce? for a bunch of popcorn

Can you use air popper popcorn for this as well?

Wow I tried this last night and I'll never buy And I will never buy cheese popcorn again thank you

where you get that popcorn at?

How do you recognise corn kernels by looking at them if they are mushroom or butterfly

which best, anthony or hoosier hill farm cheddar powder sir?

They apparently no longer make the Anthony’s cheddar powder. Anyone know of a good substitute?😢

Anyone please help me, i try garret cheese and the teksture so crunchy, but if we look at the video i have no idea how can my popcorn goin crunchy ? Its just cheese powder and oil, i think it will be soggy... can any one help me ?

Why not use canola oil (a natural liquid) instead of coconut oil?

I used a coconut oil but had a strong fragrance of coconut. In fact it didn't smell like cheese popcorn it smelled like coconut. Am I using the wrong kind of coconut oil? 👍

Hello are y can make popcorn caramel please

My cheese is clumping the second i put it in. I think it might be my coconut oil, I'm using Virgin Coconut oil and I'm seeing people say refined is the best. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong, just bought a giant jug of coconut oil and don't want to go get another

4 mins in microwave mode or conventional whats the temperature

That’s popcorn music, too

Is it written down? I can't follow so quickly!
