yeah - my thought, too -- cook bacon, drain MOST of the grease from the pan, add eggs...

This. :thumbup: And keep the bacon grease in the fridge for flavoring something else at a later time. ;)

1. Popping popcorn on your stove top. Instead of using olive oil (or that icky Canola oil you have hiding in the depths of your pantry), use your stored bacon fat!
2. If you have dogs, add it to their dog food for better flavor and digestion. Not to mention is helps keep their coats shiny and healthy.
3. When baking cornbread (or any other bread) use it to grease the baking pan or skillet before you add the mixture.
4. Add it to those green things we like to call “veggies” while you’re cooking. This way you don’t really need to add much salt, and it gives the veggies a hint of delicious porky flavor.
5. Use bacon fat in place of margarine for certain recipes. Get crazy and experiment. You will only find your favorite recipe by having fun with it!
6. Use it while frying up potatoes, steaks, shrimp, onions, eggs… practically anything you can think of frying up. Except for zombies. Don’t use bacon grease to fry up a zombie.
7. Add bacon fat into cream cheese to make as a sauce for different dishes. It tastes delicious poured over squash, broccoli, steaks, and potatoes. Also works well in gravy recipes.
8. When making pancakes, instead of using oil, use bacon grease. So genius.
9. Add into soups when you’re cooking over the stove- it will give your soup that extra hint of delicious savory flavor.
10. For an even tastier turkey sandwich (or any other lunch meat), lay warm liquid bacon grease on a plate to form a very thin layer. Lay your turkey slices (or whatever meat you like for your sandwiches) on top of the grease to just lightly coat the lunch meat. Then simply add to your sandwich. You may do this with your cheese if you would like too. This method is so tasty you won’t need to use mayonnaise. You can also use the bacon grease to fry up that sandwich after you’re done putting it together!
11. Rub bacon grease all over your body to remain forever youthful! Just kidding. (Although one guy in the office swears by it. We’re apt to believe him because no one can tell his real age.)

I have a problem with #5 -- what is this margarine you speak of?
real people use real butter. :D
 
WHEW!!! I didn't sleep at all last night worrying over this.
Thanks guys. I was worried that the world had truly begun to end and people had forgotten the benefits of bacon and bacon grease.
I feel better now, there is hope for the world after all.

The list is beneficial for the younger folks who did not grow up with that small coffee can of bacon grease in the refrigerator. Heck, my childhood friend's father used to apply bacon grease to small cuts and abrasion areas on his horses!

I need to pick up a couple of pounds of bacon. My bacon grease container is getting low.

If Mack has already started his long awaited vacation, you definitely don't want to disrupt his sleep!! Or his fishing and BBQing time. ;)
 
My Mother lived through the Great Depression. The first one, not the one we're going through right now. She told me they spread bacon grease on toast. That was dinner many times back then.

I think I will eat this even when we aren't in a depression!!
 
This was from the Derek's Breakfast Challenge, but I think it probably belongs in the cast iron section too,

Derek's Breakfast Challenge,

Off The Grid Breakfast,

Or

Just because you live like a Savage, doesn't mean you have to eat like one.


This is a highly technical meal with very precise measurements and careful timing. It should only be attempted by trained professionals!!


Up comes the Sun,


Maybe it will help with this,


First, BK-4 some wood into fire size pieces,


Something like this, with some Birch Bark for ignition,


Get a fire going,


Add some wood and while your fire is getting bigger, grind up some fresh Coffee,


And get this going,


The Raw Materials, (sounds like a cool name for a band, doesn't it?)
Mostly just a bunch of leftover crap from Corned Beef dinner on Sunday night.


Chop up an onion, Did you know if you chop off a little bit of the bottom, it will sit flat and not slide all over when you are trying to cut it up?


Melt about 2 tablespoons of butter in your hash pan,


Add Onions,


Chop up the left over potatoes, and a little red pepper,


When the onion gets translucent, add the peppers,


Let that cook for a bit, then add the potatoes, salt and pepper to taste,


Chop up the left over Corned Beef,


When it looks about like this,


Add the Corned Beef, and another tablespoon of butter,


Stir it up and let it cook, at this point it was up to 17 degrees so I covered it for a bit.


Now comes the highly technical part,

Dice up a clove of garlic real small,


When the hash is done to your liking, add the garlic, and stir it in,


Slice up the Wife's homade left over bread,


Warm up the egg pan, and add a little butter,


Add the eggs, and throw on the toast,


Slide'em to the middle and cover with your plate, to warm the plate and eliminate any runny egg white issues, and while you're at it flip the toast and butter,


And there you have it. Off the Grid Hash, Sunny Side Up Eggs, Toast, and Coffee,

A few that didn't make the cut,

And coffee, have to have coffee,

Why yes I am, what does "She" look like?

Edit; I probably should clear that with the bride first. Two chances, slim and none.

I didn't take many pics, I was too busy enjoying home. That said, didn't anyone use their cast iron for Thanksgiving?
By the way, those portobellos were better than most meat I've eaten. I could live on grilled portobellos.
