What Do You Do With Your Bacon Grease

Sometimes I give it to Mum to make me stuff lol, but then again Having some (Strained) hand isnt always a bad thing, Cabbage rolls, are a personal favorite of mine. Just curious what am I missing out on though, What does everyone else do with the left over Gold from the pan ?

 

I strain it, refrigerate it and use it to season lots of things.

 

Corn Bread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Drink it?

 

Strain and freeze. Makes the best hashbrowns.

 

Potato filling for perogi is another great use

 

moisturize

 

Back in my climbing days we would soak it up in bread or muffins and eat it for some extra calories. Now...it goes in the trash.

 

Sometimes roux for a wicked bacon gravy or sub some in for other fat in pastry for a savory pie

 

Mac and cheese... never done that, good call

 

My grandma used to use it as a super thin spread on sandwiches to impart a really bacon taste. I've used it for grilled cheese instead of buttering the outside. I've also used it when sweating out vegetables for sloppy Joes, risotto, etc. Use it for popping popcorn in a pot even. Basically, old Europeans use it in place of oil or butter.

But for the most part my dogs love eating it with some of their food haha.

Long live bacon! :bacon

Eat it by the spoonful

 

Add some to scrambled eggs, gives them a nice flavor. Also white or brown gravy.

 

You can always make Depression Era cookies! Although my friend tried that, in place of butter. They're very... bacon-y. It may be a good or bad thing. :lol:

 

Shots.

 

:bacon
You guys are hard core baconaters

 

Whatever you do, don't be absent-minded and put the the fork in your mouth that you just used to turn the bacon in said grease like it has frosting on it like my friend did. Quickest way to get a fancy brand the kids are all so keen about these days.

A bacon brand. Now that's love.

 

bake boiled potatoes in it

 

Homefries, hashbrowns, eggs, grilled cheese, roasted or stir fried veggies...
