BACON BACON BACON !!!!!!!

Grease is the word !
When cooking a steak on the grill, baste it with bacon fat!
I grew up in the South and I can remember my parents would always save the bacon grease and keep it in an empty coffee can in the refrigerator and they’d use it instead of cooking oil or Crisco when a meal called for greasing a skillet before cooking meat or whatever.
After leaving home, and finishing my time in the military – when I began living on my own, I did the same thing. That practice continued until I was about 27 or 28 and about that time, I started reading all sorts of scary stories in the news about the hazards of cholesterol and how frying food in animal fat like bacon grease would guarantee an early trip to heart disease and the grave yard. So, I stopped saving bacon grease and stopped using it altogether and switched to the healthier kinds of cooking oils. My father died of heart disease at a relatively young age of 65, and some say heart disease is sometimes a hereditary type of disease – but, I have not had any symptoms or issues and it might be due to my having avoided the same kind of dietary practices that my father engaged in during his life.
One thing I will say, though. Eggs have never tasted as good as they once did, when I’d fry or scramble them in a skillet with bacon grease. I still enjoy a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich – and once in a great while, I might go for a bacon cheeseburger, but I tend to avoid making a habit of eating fast food.
Here is question I have that I can’t figure out the answer to. Why is bacon so unbelievably expensive these days – while pork sausage tends to remain reasonably priced? Both come from the same hog, but it seems like the best quality bacon is almost so expensive that you’d need to take out a loan from the bank if you intend to eat it on a regular basis.
Use bacon grease to fry eggs….
Wonder why the posts have dwindled down here? The high censor/moderation. Not many comments can get through. Ive posted here for years, think I’m leaving. I dont think my kind is welcome here anymore. It’s getting to the point of bizzarre. It seems like Kevin and a few others can get through, and new people can, but the old crowd is blocked.
People here in the South have always bacon grease for seasoning vegetables.
As Emeril says, “Pork fat rules!”
Back on the days I work on horse ranch, We would use a paint brush and put the bacon grease on there hoofs to keep them from cracking in the summer time. Also if a horse got a cut we would put it over the cut so the hair would grow and not leave a scar.
Bacon grease and dogs, not good. If your dog has simply licked a little bacon grease off the floor, he’ll be okay. However, bacon grease is too rich, fatty, and salty to feed your dog, and should be avoided. If your dog consumes too much bacon grease, your dog is at risk for pancreatitis which impacts her ability to digest food and absorb nutrients. – The dog people, Rover.com

My WVA grandma make us bacon gravy and piled it on bread
with a lot of pepper – unbelievably delicious
I believe it was just the grease with flour stirred into the skillet.
