In southern cooking, many recipes
call for the use of "bacon grease". I have a healthier alternative.
Cook bacon until crisp, drain thoroughly on paper towels. Pour off fat from pan
taking care not to lose any crispies and do not wash or wipe away residue. Add
some olive oil to pan (I use cold pressed extra virgin). Heat slowly while
scraping pan. This bacon flavored oil can be used in all your southern
recipes calling for bacon grease.
Enjoy!
