I usually do asparagus like this:

lightly saute in butter then light sprinkling of parmesan cheese and under the broiler for a minute or 2
 
The dogs get the bacon grease usually......they have very nice fur coats.

We don't eat bacon that often, although, I have found Applewood Bacon and that is delicious!!!

We sprinkle with parm and put it on the grill. I didn't think of saute and broiler. Good idea. (though I saute in olive oil, not butter.)

I used to save bacon grease, but decided it was rather gross so I quit doing that a number of years ago. My mom still saves it but I have no idea where she keeps it...prob in a bacon grease jar near the stove.

Here's what I can't seem to throw out...Folgers coffee plastic containers. For some strange reason, I feel compelled to wash those and keep them in a cabinet. I guess I'll find a use for them one day. (A bit off topic, I know)

what did you do with the grease when you saved it?

I used it to season green beans, cornbread and fry stuff in. I don't fry anything anymore though. Now I use a little drop of olive oil & chicken broth in my green beans...and I just use olive oil in the pan for cornbread. One day all those coffee containers will come in handy, just don't know what for yet. LOL

I thought when I heard of people cooking things like green beans with bacon grease :sick they fried up some bacon and used the grease. I had no idea they used old grease. :eek:

It flavors green beans and makes them taste like they were cooked in HEAVEN! We save it for beans, cabbage and to cook with eggs. MMMMMMMmmmmmmm! :DN

Or you can go with steamed and actual green bean flavor that taste great and then a vegetable is not going to clog your arteries. Just saying. :))

I had some unsnapped green beans, blanched once and they were absolutely delicious!
 
Ugh. I hate frying things, lol. Last time I used my fry daddy was about 2 weeks ago. First time in about 2 years. I was craving some homemade French fries in olive oil. They were sooooo good, but it was sooooo gross. But, I learned a new trick! If you spray your fresh cut potatoes with a little bit of Pam and bake them for about 20 mins they are reallllllly good. Next time I'll coat them with a tiny bit of EVOO.
