The Bachelorette

Bachelorette Jillian Harris is Canadian, but Canucks love the Super Bowl too — and Jilly planned a killer menu for the Patriots vs. Giants game. As the designer/foodie posted on her website on Friday, "It’s almost game time! Today’s recipes are perfect for Super Bowl Sunday because they’re easy, you can prepare ahead of time, and they require very little of your precious attention (I know, you’ve got commercials to watch!). I’ve also included all of the manly ingredients you could ask for: whiskey, beer and bacon!"

Jillian posted three recipes on her site. We’re sharing one and you can check out her site for how to make Ale Cheddar Soup and Cheese Stuffed Whiskey Meatloaf Sliders — she also posts photos so you can see how the finished product should look.

Ingredients
1/2 cup of popcorn kernels (makes about 7 cups)
1 pound of bacon, diced and precooked (drain oil and filter to remove sediment; set aside
1/4 cup of oil for later)
2 tablespoons of white truffle oil
1 1/2 cups of finely grated parmesan
1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)

Instructions
1. Cook popcorn (as instructed) till light and fluffy
2. In a small bowl, mix bacon oil and truffle oil well
3. Toss popcorn in bacon truffle mixture
4. Add fresh bacon bits and parmesan
5. Toss & enjoy!

Jillian's notes:
• This feeds a roomful, so you can cut the recipe in half if desired.
• The flavor profile is already pretty intense but if you want to beef it up, add a few sprigs of finely chopped rosemary.

Good luck and happy eating!
