Everything’s better with bacon! That applies to crispy cooked bacon or the delicious bacon fat (AKA bacon grease) that you get when cooking bacon.

Of course, bacon fat isn’t necessarily the healthiest fat to add to your recipes. You could substitute it with other forms of fat like lard, ghee, or even coconut oil, but the flavor wouldn’t be the same. Sometimes you just need the real thing for the fullest flavor!

If you want to try some of these tasty ways to use bacon fat, but don’t have any on hand, collecting some is easy! You just have to cook some bacon! I explain how to store bacon fat and other things you can do with it, in my post on 7 Reasons Penny Pinchers Save Bacon Grease. You possibly could find pre-made bacon fat to buy at the store or online (I’ve never looked for it), but why buy it when it’s so easy to make your own? Besides, homemade is always so much tastier!

To make your bacon fat healthier, choose uncured nitrite and nitrate-free bacon. To make it even healthier, get the same type of bacon, but organic!

12 Delicious Ways to Use Bacon Fat

Here are some reasons to consider using bacon fat in your recipes:

  • Bacon Flavor.  Who doesn’t love the taste you get from bacon?  Cooking with bacon drippings brings out that smoky undeniable flavor that will make your mouth water.
  • Butter or oil substitute.  Try bacon grease as an appetizing substitute for butter or oil in some of your recipes, like the examples below.
  • Sweet and smoky treats.  Bacon flavor in sweets and desserts may sound unusual, but you have to try it!  The sweet and smoky mixture of flavors is what my family can’t get enough of.

    Bacon fat is almost as good as the bacon itself! It adds so much flavor to foods. I say a little bit in moderation is just fine!
