Recipe By:Chef Grandma
"I've been making this popcorn for years and everyone that has had it loves it."
Ingredients


  • 1 (1 pound) package bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 cup unpopped popcorn
  • 1 pinch salt, or to taste (optional)
Directions


  • Place bacon and vegetable oil in a large, deep pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Cook and stir bacon until crisp and brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Scatter the popcorn into the pan with the bacon and drippings and cover with the lid. When you hear kernels of popcorn begin to pop, shake the pan vigorously until popping slows to 1 or 2 pops per about 30 seconds.
  • Remove lid facing away from you to avoid steam and transfer bacon popcorn to a large serving bowl. Season to taste with salt if desired.

Yes, I remember that, Olivia. I used to make it almost every night as a kid, but in a regular pot with a cover. It always made big fluffy kernels and of course the butter & salt. Yum!

Yes! That's the one! :)

And to Cindy--we did that on the stove, too!

That's how we did it before microwaves.

Sounds yummy!

Anyone remember shaking a tin foiled covered, popcorn kernaled, aluminium pan on the stove top?
And it grew and grew?
Now that was exciting. :eek:nthego:

That stuff was great for camping. It actually popped better over a fire than on a stove.

I'm laughing because I was eating a big bowl of popcorn when I saw this thread. Now I can blame it on celebrating the special day. I'm a popcorn fanatic.
