Great Popcorn Recipes

These are the popcorn recipes that Marie, Gaea and Judi used for the Relief Society Dinner. They were all delicious!!!

Caramel Corn

1 C real butter
1 C white sugar
1 C brown sugar
1 C Karo Syrup

Boil till the soft ball stage then remove from heat and add 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk and pour over large bowl of popcorn--and I do mean large.

Parmesan Popcorn

Just pop corn, drizzle butter over popcorn then sprinkle parmesan and garlic salt over popcorn to taste.

White Chocolate Popcorn

Melt 1/2 package of White Chocolate Chips in micromave about 30 seconds at a time till melted-stir in between heatings then drizzle over popped corn -medium sized bowl and mix well. Just keep stirring until it's distributed. You can have more or less chocolate depending on how thick you want it to be. It will be sticky so let it harden then break apart when ready to eat.

You can add chopped candy canes at Christmas time!

Kalua Pork

Jessie Ena demonstrated this delicious dish at the February Enrichment night.

2.5 pounds pork (doesn’t matter the cut as long as there is not too much fat on it)
2 Tbs. Liquid Smoke
Salt to taste

Rub the meat with the liquid smoke, then the salt. Wrap the meat with foil. Fill your baking pan with 6 cups of water then put your wrapped meat in the pan and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, then drop it to 300 degreet for another 1 ½ hours. It can go in a crock pot just like any other meat. It’s a good recipe for big parties. The secret is the liquid smoke. It will make the meat taste and smell like it was baked in a UMU!

Chicken Broccoli Bake

Terri Howells demonstrated this dish at the January 2009 enrichment night.

4 cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded with salt and pepper
2 C washed broccoli
½ red bell pepper chopped
1-2 cloves pressed garlic
2-3 C shredded cheese (I like sharp)
¼ to ½ c mayo
2 tsp dill
1 package of crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 375. Assemble all ingredients into large bowl. Use just the tops of the broccoli chopped fine and don’t pre-cook any of the veggies. Mix well. Use a round pan or a 9X13. Arrange rolls in the bottom of the pan with the larger end of the triangle on the bottom of the pan. Form a circle in the bottom of the pan with the points fanning out and around the pan. Pour the chicken mixture into the center and bring each point on the roll to the center to meet on the top. Bake for 20 min or until the cheese is good and melted. Serve with Salad.
