Forgot to mention that I have a hard time keeping enough around. Seems I am perpetually out of bacon grease because I use it in nearly every dish. I have even been known to fry a pound of bacon just for the grease. Too bad we're not neighbors. Although I use it pretty regularly, I collect it faster than I use it, so have to throw away big gobs of it from time to time. Stupid is as stupid does......

Geeez guys, after all this I'm going to have to rethink my way of doing things around the kitchen.
So much for the margarine and evoo.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

I like to fix green beans the way my Mom did - just cut bacon into small strips, fry it up and when the bacon is almost done, add some diced onion. Then add either drained canned green beans or cut up fresh ones. By no means ever strain the grease off.

make a roux (bacon grease and flour), then add seeded, diced tomatoes and let them cook down. pour in couple cups of milk add salt and pepper (heavy) to taste. serve with bacon and cathead biscuits. eggs and grits optional.
tomato gravy southern style not northern tomato gravy for pasta.

i even use bacon grease or lard to start fryin bacon. without it bacon sometimes wants to stick to the pan so i just throw a little in while heating the pan. i think i have 15-20 pints in my shop for the bear. i also have a friend that sends me 5gal of hog lard every winter. fried taters,deep frying is great with lard. i deep fried about 5lbs of catfish and sweet onion hushpuppies sunday evening in some good ol' hog lard.

It's good to put on minor cuts and scrapes on horses. Keeps flies off and makes the hair grow back.

Bacon grease is a must for cooking some things at my house. All the deer loin that gets fried is done in bacon grease. All the green beans get a teaspoon among some other things.
