Lots of hungry families got their tummies filled with bacon grease gravy and bread or biscuits during the depression.
Amen Connie, I'm pretty sure my grand mother did. She lived to 96 her mom to 98 and my dad to 92...Lots of hungry families got their tummies filled with bacon grease gravy and bread or biscuits during the depression.
I like to cook up the little grape tomatoes. Especially in one of those pans for the grill. I usually put some olive oil on them, but will have to try some bacon grease.
What say we throw those croutons in there as well?Then toss em with some romain lettuce and some croutons or toasted bread cubes and you have a BLT salad minus the bacon.
If you like pierogi, boil them then fry them off till just a bit crisp in bacon fat!
Covering the bacon tightly and refrigerating it will be adequate to keep it almost indefinitely. I usually put mine in the freezer and then use a knife or spoon to scrape what I need. I've had the same container in my freezer for years.
I love to add bacon drippings to the pan I cook cornbread in and also add it to green beans when I want a nice smoky bacony flavor.
