Seriously, cheerios have been around for such a long time – we don’t even remember when that bright yellow box didn’t exist – it’s stood the test of time for so many good reasons! Those little circles are toasty, such a cute shape, and they taste just as yummy with or without milk! Who would have thought such a basic ingredient could make us feel so nostalgic – do you remember eating them (and wearing them at times) when you were a kid? Well, we were also able to make some new memories with this vintage, hot savory buttered cheerio recipe, proving that a certain classic American cereal isn’t just for breakfast.
Stovetop method: Melt ¼ cup butter in a 10-inch skillet, then add 3 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir in 4 cups Cheerios; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until cereal is well coated and hot.
Microwave method: In large microwavable bowl, microwave ¼ cup butter uncovered on High about 45 seconds or until melted, then mix in 3 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Add cereal; mix well. Microwave uncovered on High 3 to 4 minutes, stirring every minute.
