Stovetop Popcorn

By MelanieAnn

Ingredients

• ■1 tbsp bacon grease
• ■1 tbsp + 1 tsp sesame oil*
• ■a little less than 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels
• ■salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil and grease in a pan over medium heat. Once grease has melted, add a few kernels of popcorn and cover with a lid. Once those kernels have popped, add the rest and cover. Shake to coat kernels in oil. Once popping slows to a rate of every 3 or 4 seconds, remove from heat. Shake a little bit to pop any remaining kernels. Empty into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. (Every now and then, you’ll get a piece that tastes nice and bacony. Yummmm!)
