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.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Snacks     Popcorn Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right popcorn kernels. Not all popcorn kernels are created equal. For the best results, use a variety of popcorn kernels that are fresh and have a high popping rate.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven. You'll need a large pot or Dutch oven to pop the popcorn so that the kernels have plenty of room to expand.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat. Be patient and allow the oil to come to temperature slowly. If the oil is too hot, the popcorn will burn.
  • Add the popcorn kernels and cook, shaking the pot constantly. Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels and start shaking the pot constantly. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Remove the popcorn from the heat when the popping slows down. Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. This will prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Season the popcorn to taste. Once the popcorn is popped, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Bacon and herb popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion.
