Bacon grease

[TRSTNO1]

Bacon grease never leaves my kitchen. Always ends up in my wok for fried rice.

[Dan_Eastvale]

I save bacon grease and use it in my homemade frijoles refritos.

[Doomsday Machine]

Waste of bacon grease.

basic fried rice.

ingredients:

12 cups leftover cooked white rice (calrose) cold and loose.

3-4 slices bacon (cut into 1/4" bits) - or as much as you want,

2 eggs (or more if you want).

2 bunches green onions

1/2 cup soy sauce (kikkoman). (more or less to taste)


(adjust recipe if you just have a couple cartons of chinese take out rice for example).

long grain (jasmine, basmati) rice can be used, it will just have a looser texture.


bacon cooked, drain fat but keep 1 tbs bacon fat and add eggs and scramble together.



eggs and bacon combined and add rice



mix it together to get everything mixed evenly. continue cooking over high heat until rice is warmed through.

add soy a quarter of the soy sauce and stir, add more and stir, add more a stir...until desired flavor is achieved.





once you have the right amount of soy saltiness, turn off the heat and add the green onions.

mix it all in and the latent heat will cook the green onions enough to make them delicious. too much cooking and the flavor is gone.


finished product.



you can add peas and carrots, left over meats, snow peas, fried spam, imitation crab....whatever if you want to me it fancier.

Mmmm, bacon grease..... so delicious. I used to have a jar full and would cook everything with it. Since we renovated our kitchen, my wife won't let me keep it anymore. Sad, tasteless times.

New lube for my AR? I love the smell of gunpowder and bacon grease in the morning!

What a combo!!

i even use bacon as the base for contest chili and i use the grease to cook the onions and peppers so the smokey flavor is behind all the spices.

If I used my bacon grease for firearms lube i wouldn't have any for my scrambled eggs.

Thanks for sharing. Slight variation in the way I prepare my fried rice. I beat the egg, pour the bacon/egg mixture into a bowl after cooking, cook the rice in the same pan with the leftover bacon grease and then reincorporate the bacon/egg mixture at the end. I like my eggs on the softer side

Would not the bacon grease from your kitchen have a lot of salt and nitrates in it? Wouldn't that cause rust if water got in it?

[Robert1234]

Dumb idea.

Bacon is never a dumb idea!!

Sarcasm, people, just having a little fun. Nobody in their right mind is going to lube their firearm with bacon grease. Sheesh.

[madland]

bacon grease is more valuable to me for cooking eggs.

If I used my bacon grease for firearms lube i wouldn't have any for my scrambled eggs.

Nothing beats a hot skillet filled with bacon grease to cook your scrambled eggs in. Add in some already cooked potatoes to re-heat them in that grease. Best breakfast bowl ever. Or tossed in a warm flour tortilla with some cheese sprinkled in for a breakfast burrito. Only thing better or equal depending on your choice..is SPAM instead of bacon. Either way you can't go wrong.
