Popcorn with Cheese

1/4 c Oil
1/3 c Popcorn
2 tb Butter or margarine; melted
1/2 c Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 ts Salt, if desired

Preheat oven to 325 F (slow).

Place oil in a deep, heavy pan or skillet with dome lid. Heat until oil is hot enough to pop a popcorn kernel.

Pour popcorn into pan. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Shake pan over the burner until all corn is popped.

Place popped corn in a shallow baking pan. Drizzle with melted fat. Mix.

Sprinkle with cheese. Add salt, if desired. Mix.
