Grandma NEVER Threw Away Bacon Grease! Here's What She Did With It

https://leoncartercooks.netlify.app/ My grandmother never looked at leftover bacon grease as something to throw away. To her, it was tomorrow’s ingredient. If you grew up in an old Southern kitchen, you probably remember that grease can sitting somewhere near the stove. In this video, I’m showing you what the old folks were actually saving, why they saved it, and how they used those bacon drippings in foods like cornbread, collard greens, cabbage, green beans, and eggs. I’ll also show you why straining the grease matters, how I use it today, and the one part of Grandma’s old grease-can setup that I wouldn’t copy anymore. The old kitchen had a different way of looking at leftovers: before something got thrown away, you asked whether it still had another job to do. Bacon grease was one of the best examples. Did your family keep a grease can? Tell me what they used it for in the comments. I know every family did it a little differently.
