I clarify it and put it in a glass jar in the frig. I use it in place of the oil in pancakes and waffels. Use a little in micro-eggs. And I sub it for part of the butter in nuts & bolts.
Have you tried chocolate dipped bacon?

I actually cure and smoke our bacon, starting with fresh pork belly, using the recipe in Michael Ruhlman’s Charcuterie, so I always have some bacon ‘odds and ends’ for soup or certain vegetables. (Fried eggplant tastes SO much better in bacon fat!)

It’s a guy thing.

No girls allowed! :)

BTW- I start all 6 lbs in a big soup pot to sort of ‘sweat’ the fat out
then I move a pan full at a time to the frying pan to crisp it up and then move the crisped bacon to a bowl with plenty of paper towels in the bottom
I pour the grease from the pan back into the soup pot and get the next batch to crisp

It’s very efficient

My number one cooking rule is:

Very few things can not be improved with bacon, onions and or garlic

But my very favorite way is in a BLT, on freshly baked bread, with a homemade aioli, and both lettuce and tomatoes fresh from my garden. That sandwich is, in itself, the reason why I grow vegetables.

It’s just not for breakfast any more.
