bacon grease
Rendered breakfast drippings
Bacon grease is the rendered fat left in the pan after cooking bacon.
Home cooks often save it in a jar for later use as a flavorful cooking fat—frying eggs, seasoning vegetables, or adding richness to dishes.
It solidifies when cool and keeps for months.
Grandma always kept a jar of bacon grease by the stove.
