Waaaay better than microwave popcorn! I'm addicted! I use 1/2 cup kernels as the recipe calls for, but no oil to cook it. It cooks in a little under 2 minutes in lunch size paper bags closed with one staple at the top of the fold. No worries, there's no sparks! Once it's done, I pour the popcorn into a bowl in three batches, spraying each layer with cooking spray and then seasonings. I like garlic salt, cayenne, and chicken broth powder (typically found in the hispanic section of the store), not granules. Make it spicy and drink a glass of sweet wine with it. It's fabulous.

Terrific! Based on reviews of smoking peppercorns, I skipped that step and just sprinkled salt, pepper, and cayenne on each side of the tuna steaks and then cooked them in the melted butter and oil mixture. Very easy, good flavor. I eyeballed the salt and 1 tsp of course kosher salt is about right. I will definitely make this again.

Unfortunately, this was very bland. I liked the spice, but spice alone does not make the dish enjoyable. I doctored this like crazy and was unable to make it great. I'll stick with the Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup on this site. Close, but a bit different and absolutely wonderful. **Just an update, if you really want to save this as I did, add a can of cream of chicken soup. Not very authentic for chili I know, but it did add a good chickeny something.
