Bacon Popcorn

I munch on popcorn a couple times a week and do like my air popper, but this is football season!!! So this week for my PIGskin challenge I say let's bump up the flavor a bit and cook the popcorn in bacon fat! And if you really want to get wild and crazy, add some crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese too.

Super simple and a little different.

I love the nice subtle flavor the bacon fat adds, it's great with lots of salt!

Bacon Popcorn-from apron wearing grandmom's everywhere
1/2 C popcorn
3 Tblsp bacon fat
salt to taste
crumbled crispy bacon-optional
up to 1 C shredded cheddar cheese-optional

1. Add bacon fat and 3 kernels of popcorn to heavy pan with lid.
2. Heat at medium-high until the kernels begin to pop, add the rest of the popcorn and shake pan.
3. Keep shaking pan until the popping has slowed way down.
4. Pour into a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Add bacon and cheese if desired. I desired but decided to save those calories for an ice cold... beverage:@)

Have a happy day!
