First, preheat the oven to 400°F. Then with nonstick cooking spray, spray 1 large mixing bowl, 1 rimmed sheet pan, and 2 metal mixing spoons.
On a separate non-greased rimmed sheet pan, lay the thick cut bacon strips and bake for 30 minutes. Once done remove the bacon slices and spread them on a tray lined with paper towels.
In a large pot with a lid or in a popcorn popper, heat the bacon fat over medium high heat. Add the popcorn kernels to the pot.
Cover the pot with the lid and cook until all the kernels have popped. Shake constantly so the popcorn doesn’t burn.
Transfer the popcorn to the prepared large mixing bowl. Add the crumbled bacon and mix together.
