No stars, because I think the problem was my particular Italian seasoning. Neither my 3 year-old daughter or I ate more than half of our popcorn... there was a very bitter taste to it. She said it was "too spicy". I used my new-ish container of store brand Italian seasoning, and I think it was the problem, not the recipe, so I don't want to ruin this recipe's 5-star rating. If I make it again I'll re-rate with stars. Thanks anyway.

Made half the recipe. Made the italian seasoning - <a href="/68017">Italian Seasoning</a> (without measuring though). This was delicious. My four year old even couldn't stay out of it, and I didn't expect that! dh said he couldn't eat it, because it would give him bad breath and all the girls at work would walk away from him. He drives me nuts! Thank you jewelz4Jesus, for the delicious popcorn! Chosen for PAC Fall 2006.

What a fantastic thing to have in a bowl in your lap while watching a movie at home on a Saturday night! I used plain popcorn that I popped myself on the top of the stove, and instead of Italian seasoning used a spicy Moroccan blend. Warning: fighting with your spouse over the cheesy popcorn can lead to marital strife, so make each one of you a bowl and revel in the marital and popcorny bliss.
