Ingredients
Steps
Place the bacon pieces in a large skillet or a pot with a lid over medium heat.
Cook the bacon until it is very crispy and has released all its fat.
Remove the crispy bacon pieces from the skillet and set them aside on paper towels, leaving all the liquid fat in the bottom of the pot.
Add the popcorn kernels to the pot with the hot bacon grease and stir to coat each kernel well.
Cover the pot and wait for the corn to start popping. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the popping slows to an interval of 2 to 3 seconds, remove the pot from the heat.
Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and sprinkle the reserved crispy bacon pieces over the top before serving.
Notes
For an extra touch of flavor, some users suggest adding a bit of brown sugar at the end for a sweet-and-salty profile. Ensure the bacon is well-cooked so the fat has the best smoky flavor.
