INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • ½ cup bacon grease
    • 🍿 ¾ cup unpopped popcorn kernels

  • Seasoning

    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste

  • Optional Additions

    • 3 tablespoons bacon bits
    • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

STEPS

1

Place bacon grease into a 6-quart pot and heat on high. Add a couple of popcorn kernels as testers. When they pop, add the remaining kernels and cover with a lid.

2

Shake the pan continuously as kernels pop to keep unpopped kernels at the bottom. When popping slows, remove the pan from heat and allow it to finish popping.

3

Transfer popcorn to a large bowl or paper sack. Mix in half the seasoned salt, taste, and adjust. Add bacon bits and Cheddar cheese for an enhanced flavor.

💡 Using a paper sack when tossing the cooked popcorn helps absorb excess grease, reducing mess.Add bacon bits and cheese only when serving immediately for optimal texture—otherwise, store plain popcorn in airtight bags.
