Grease saved from frying bacon + cast iron skillet + popcorn kernels = one delicious snack!
popcorn
We’re big fans of popcorn as a snack, generally we pop it in ghee. Last time I used bacon grease and it was AMAZING. Also popping it in a cast iron skillet instead of the normal stainless steel pan made a difference in taste. Now I’m going to be eating bacon constantly so I can have this popcorn!

What’s your favorite snack?

    We love popcorn! We love popping it in butter or lard with a sprinkle of Old Bay. Another favorite is heating up some pesto with a little more olive oil and tossing the popcorn in it.

    Did you actually need that extra motivation? :-)

    Susy, my favorite snack would have to be nuts. I like all kinds of nuts which would include sunflower. Popcorn would be a close second but nuts would win hands down. I’ll have to try your bacon grease popcorn. No flavoring needed.

    Have a great natural snack day.

    MM That sounds SO good! We eat popcorn Every Friday night…question though…how do you keep the popcorn in the CI when you cook it?! I use cast iron pans but never thought about popping popcorn in it!

      We put a lid from a stock pot on it.
