Smother a slab of salmon in bacon grease, salt, pepper, crushed pecans and bake until doneā€¦ toss in broiler to brown the pecansā€¦ it is UH-mazing!!!

Always strain using a coffee filter. That helps with keeping it long term

When it is still hot?

I put some into my Bacon Cauliflower Mash a few weeks ago, along with Bacon and some Smoked Bacon Gauda.

Basically this recipe, with added Bacon fat and used Bacon Gauda instead of regular (I also roasted the cauliflower rather than microwaving).

Keeping bacon fat long term? I donā€™t understand :joy: :joy::joy:

I donā€™t have Brussels sprouts, but this sounds so awesomely decadent, Iā€™m going to try it with cabbage! Whoo hoo!

I had to google for the recipe and found several to save. Looking forward to trying those and thanks for the idea!

BACON MAYO?!?!?! Errmagerd! I need a recipe!

(Tamara Salisbury ) #33

I sauteed brussel sprouts in it last night for dinner. Use it as I would for anything sauteing, adds wonderful flavor

(Jennifer Bradford) #34

Spread it on cloud buns or keto bread when makeing sandwichs in place of butter :yum:

(Ernest) #36

Thatā€™s right, straight out of the hot pan, strain

Ooh you are asking my favorite question!

My all-time favorite use is bacon hollandaise. Substitute bacon fat for half of the butter in your favorite hollandaise recipe.

I love roasting broccoli or cauliflower in bacon fat and steak seasoning. Toss in a little lemon juice after cooking.

Get nice fat pork chops, sear in bacon fat and finish in the oven.

If Iā€™m sauteeing onion or jalapeno for a recipe, I almost always saute in bacon fat. My husband makes a killer chili with habaneros sauteed in bacon fat.

Really, I put it in anything that might benefit from a little bacony flavor.

Oh, now this post makes me sad! I moved to Ireland and have not found any bacon with enough fat to give me leftover drippings. Also not finding lard, only beef fat.
