Bacon Popcorn

Source of Recipe


From "Southern Living Bourbon & Bacon"



List of Ingredients



• 4 bacon slices
  
• 1 Tbsp butter
  
• â…“ cup popping corn
  
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
• 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  
• 2 tsp buttermilk ranch dressing mix
  
• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  






Instructions



1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat 5 minutes or until crisp; remove bacon, reserving drippings, and drain on paper towels. Coarsely chop bacon.
   
   
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with bacon drippings in a heavy-bottomed 4-quart saucepan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add popping corn, and cook, covered, shaking occasionally, until most corn is popped (popping noise will slow to less than 5 pops every 10 seconds). Remove from heat, and cool 1 minute.
   
   
3. Pour popcorn into a large brown paper bag. Add bacon, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, dressing mix, and pepper. Shake vigorously, and serve immediately.
