Kettle Bacon Recipes

KETTLE CORN

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, stir in the sugar and popcorn. Cover, and shake the pot constantly to keep the sugar from burning. Once the popping has slowed to once every 2 to 3 seconds, remove the pot from the heat and continue to shake for a few minutes until the popping has stopped. Pour into a large bowl, and allow to cool, stirring occasionally to break up large clumps.

CRISPY DEEP FRIED BACON

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl until smooth. Separate the bacon strips, and soak in the milk mixture for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Remove the bacon from the egg mixture, and toss with the flour to coat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Fry the bacon strips 3 to 5 slices at a time until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once all of the bacon has cooked, place onto the prepared baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 7 minutes.

MAPLE-BACON KETTLE CORN

Steps:

• Fry bacon in a skillet until brown and crisp; transfer to paper towels to drain. Transfer grease to a measuring cup; if less than 1/4 cup, add plain oil to make 1/4 cup total.
• When bacon is cool, chop into small pieces and toss with maple syrup. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan, place bacon grease (with oil, if using) and popcorn kernels. Sprinkle with sugar and 1 tsp salt. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and place over medium heat until you hear a few kernels pop.
• Once popping begins, hold pot and lid together tightly and shake pot every 1-2 minutes then return to heat (this will prevent the sugar from burning).
• Once popping is done, carefully remove the lid, add remaining salt and stir with a large spoon. Add bacon-maple mixture and toss well before serving.
