Bacon Popcorn image

This is a flavorful popcorn treat that makes your mouth water and disappears fast! If you toss the cooked popcorn in a paper bag, it helps to absorb any extra grease, and keeps kernels from falling to the floor. The leftovers make nice snacks for lunch boxes.

Time 15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ cup bacon grease
¾ cup unpopped popcorn kernels
½ teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
3 tablespoons bacon bits
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Measure the bacon grease into a 6 quart pot and place over high heat. Add one or two popcorn kernels as testers. When the test kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn and cover with a lid. As the popcorn starts to pop, shake the pan back and forth constantly to keep the unpopped kernels on the bottom where they can pop. When the popping slows down, remove the pan from the heat and let it finish popping.
  • Pour the popcorn into a large bowl or paper sack. Season with half of the seasoned salt and stir. Taste before adding more salt if desired. Toss with bacon bits and shredded Cheddar cheese for an extra special treat. Store leftovers in lunch sacks or sandwich bags.

I'm not sure how I feel about bacon popcorn. It sounds like an interesting combination, but I'm not sure if I'd like it.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer simpler recipes that don't require a lot of ingredients.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, but I actually really liked this recipe. The bacon flavor was subtle and it didn't overpower the popcorn.

This recipe was a disaster. The popcorn was burnt and the bacon was soggy. I will not be making this again.

Not bad! I thought the bacon flavor was a bit too strong, but my husband loved it.

Amazing recipe! I followed it to the T and it came out perfectly. The bacon was crispy, the popcorn was fluffy, and the combination of flavors was out of this world.
