Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the popcorn mixture. Toss again to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting based on your preference for saltiness.

For an extra decadent touch, you can transfer the popcorn mixture to a baking sheet and broil in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
