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 bacon grease and prevents the kernels from falling on the floor. The leftovers make nice snacks for lunch boxes.

Ingredients

  • bacon grease: 0.5 cup
  • unpopped popcorn kernels: 0.75 cup
  • seasoned salt: 0.5 tsp (to taste)
  • bacon bits: 3 Tbsp (optional)
  • cheddar cheese: 1 cup (shredded, optional)

  1. Place bacon grease into a 6-quart pot and place over high heat. Add one or two popcorn kernels as testers. When test kernels pop, add remaining popcorn kernels and cover with a lid. As kernels start to pop, shake the pan back and forth constantly to keep unpopped kernels on the bottom. When popping slows down, remove the pan from heat and let it finish popping.

  2. Pour popcorn into a large bowl or paper sack. Season with 1/2 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.
