Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Pour the olive oil into a large non‑stick skillet with a tight‑fitting lid. Add the sliced bacon strips. Fry for 8–10 minutes until the fat renders and the bacon becomes crisp; then remove it with a slotted spoon onto a plate.

2. 2

   In the remaining bacon fat, spread the popcorn kernels and stir. Cover with a lid and cook until almost all kernels pop, about 4 minutes. While the popcorn cooks, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for 10 seconds. When the kernels have popped, drizzle them with the melted butter, toss to coat evenly and sprinkle with a little salt.
