Make Your Own Bacon Grease

Make your own bacon grease….

In the south, this is liquid gold. We use bacon grease to season all kinds of things, especially greens and beans.

What’s crazy to me is some people buy this. I get convenience…. But it’s really quick and easy.

Just fry your bacon slow and low for about 15 mins. I flip usually twice. I keep on the first side until I’m sure it’s browned. I flip and do the same, and then I flip and about 10 seconds later take it out of the pan and place on paper towel lined casserole dish (which I keep in the oven on 200° until all the bacon is done).

Cool this until able to pour into a mason jar without busting it. Can keep in fridge, but we generally use it as fast as we make it.
