I cooked a pound of Bacon in the oven tonight and remembered my Mom used to use the fat for other cooking, so I looked up recipes. There are 100s of recipes out there. A few goodies
15 Ways to Use Bacon Fat
Baconโd Parm Popcorn
Melt about 1/4 cup bacon fat in a large pot (preferably aluminum). Add 2 or 3 popcorn kernels, and once they begin to pop, add about 1/4 cup more kernels to the pot. Cook, covered but stirring every minute, until the kernels begin to pop, then cover and continue to cook until the popping has slowed to 2 to 3 seconds between pops. Immediately dump the popcorn into a bowl and toss with generous handfuls of grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
Cookies (Yup)
If all things salty and sweet make you happy, replace up to half the oil or butter called for in a cookie recipe with bacon fat and proceed with the directions. (Note: This works with shortbread and chocolate chip cookies, but not with every cookie. Your mileage may vary!)
Magic Greens
If your kids wonโt eat their greens, give this dish a shot: Melt a spoonful or two of bacon fat in a hot skillet, then add finely chopped garlic (and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes if your brood can handle the heat) and cook until just aromatic (do not let the garlic brown or it will taste bitter). Immediately add a bunch of prepared greens (spinach leaves or collards, kale or chard with the tough center rib removed and leaves torn into pieces) and sautรฉ until wilted and softened as desired.
