Anybody save bacon drippings for future cooking? I used to drop a
tablespoon of butter into the frying pan for eggs but bacon drippings
are much more tasty. May try it on the green beans too.

I have a container that I keep in my fridge for bacon drippings. I use them in many things.

My mother did that so I just followed when we set up housekeeping.
Handy stuff for frying anything. You'll like it on the green beans.

That would be great.

My mother always saved bacon drippings in a frozen orange juice
container. Funny memory.

I'm the only one who likes my eggs fried in bacon grease,
and we hardly even have bacon anyway, so I don't save it.

Yes, I save the bacon dripping for a lot of things, really good on green
beans.

I don't. My mom never did. Perhaps that's why I never developed a taste for
foods with it in there. I did try recipes that use it a few times but the
end result was too greasy for me.

It takes just a dab. Some people do go a bit overboard
with it though.

Just this evening I made beet greens sauteed in bacon grease.

Love, love, love beet greens - but I wouldn't mask their wonderful
flavor with bacon grease.

I rarely cook bacon so never have any much. It is wonderful when I do have
even a little How do you use it on your beans?

All the time, as well as sausage fat and duck fat (labeled jars in the
fridge). I also save chicken fat as I use that to grease the bird
feeder pole to keep the squirrels out of it.

I'd rather eat beet greens than the beet (a childhood preference).

Definately though I prefer duck fat for that.

I'll wash and scrub about 1 lb of potatoes then cut to moon shapes
(skin on, we like the skins). Add to pan then chop an onion and add
that. Next about 1/4 cup olive oil and an equl amount duck fat or
bacon/sausage fat. Cover and cook in a large cast iron, turning now
and again, until they are browned up and done.

Use vaseline. It won't attract animals/insects like chicken fat will.

I sautee them with it. I also use duck fat on them, depending on
stock. Duck fat itself is a little hard to find in the USA (sure,
there are places where it can be found, but not common). You are lucky
there as they apparently sell rendered duck fat in sticks in the UK.
Me, I have to cook a duck then save the fat.

I did find it rendered and sold in sticks in one store here, but it
cost more than a duck does ;-) I can get domestic raised ducks for 12$
each which yields pretty close to 2 'sticks' worth. The one place I
saw it at wanted 9.99USAD per stick...

Yup, for example if I'm sauteeing fresh green beans in it, I use about
1 teaspoon and add water (about 1 TB) to the pan (so it's a mix of
steaming and fast sautee going on).

Whenever I fry 2-3 eggs, I do it in butter. If I happen to have some
bacon fat, I'll add only about a lima bean size of the fat. Just a tiny
bit contains plenty of bacon flavor.

Ophelia, this was the first result I ginned up searching YouTube for
"cooking green beans with bacon". This is very similar to the way my
Grandmother cooked green beans and they were delicious!

Beets are one of the things that I truly dislike, but never tried the
greens. Do they taste like the beets at all?

This is the way my mother did it (for fresh green beans)
Hot Bacon Dressing
3 slices bacon
1/4 cup vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Cut bacon into small pieces. Cook slowly until crisp. Stir in
vinegar and seasoning. Reheat and pour at once over cooked green
beans, lettuce, spinach or any salad greens.
NOTE: adjust sugar to your preference.
NOTE: use this to make wilted lettuce with garden lettuces (wilted
lettuce must be served immediately)

I like the malt vinegar too, but often here they are served, just
sliced, nothing added.

I like that Lima bean size! Yes, that's about 1 teaspoon, or maybe 1.5

Vaseline may be damaging to the critters and I want them healthy. No
insect problems and the squirrels have fun licking their paws and
jumping on the pole for another try.

Leap, grab, slide, fat pumpf as butt hits ground, lick paws, then
repeat.

Oh! I've never used those. Do you think if I steamed them a bit first?
