A bacon lover’s dream. This popcorn is coated with big spoonfuls of what I call bacon dust. Dried and ground bacon bits with salt and sugar mixed in. It’s a perfect snack topper.
Ingredients
5strips bacon
½teaspoonkosher salt
2teaspoonssugar
Instructions
Lay out bacon strips on a wire rack and bake at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes until the bacon is cooked through and just turning crispy. Most of the fat should be drained off.
Turn oven heat down to 225 degrees F. and bake for another 60 minutes. Check bacon. It should super-brittle and crispy. Flip bacon and continue to bake for another 60 minutes.
Let bacon cool completely off of rack on a few paper towels to soak up any residual bacon fat.
Move bacon to a spice grinder (will have to crumble it a bit) and add salt and sugar. Pulse until bacon is in a powder.
Remove bacon dust from grinder and clean grinder by grinding rice in it.
Sprinkle bacon dust over cooked popcorn or anything else your mind can imagine!
