Bacon Jalapeño Popcorn
This popcorn gets a little extra kick from the addition of jalapeño and bacon!
Servings: 8 cups
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 slices cooked bacon chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon finely minced jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 4 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Pop the popcorn. Add the oil to a Whirley Pop or other oil-based popcorn maker. Heat over medium heat for 30 seconds and then add popcorn. Let it heat for a minute or so until you hear the first pop, then spin Whirley Pop, or shake pan constantly until popping slows to 1-2 seconds between pops. Remove from heat.
- Soften the jalapeño. Place the butter and jalapeño in a small microwave dish and cook for about 45 seconds, until butter is melted. Add maple syrup and stir.
- Add the seasonings. Pour popcorn into a large bowl; add butter mixture and stir to coat. Add bacon, jalapeno and cheese. Toss until all ingredients are well incorporated. Serve immediately.
