My granny used to use an old Folgers coffee can to hold all her grease (other than bacon). Bacon grease went in a mason jar in the fridge so that we could use it in future recipes.

@pamelastokes2964 2 жыл бұрын

Hey y'all! I'm with Bunkey on the grease jar. I also tilt the frying pan to dip the grease out. I'm 72 yrs young and have been doing it this way for ever and amen. Love y'all ❤️!!!

So, in the South, we save aaaalllll the bacon grease. I have a Tupperware bowl that I keep the grease in for later uses, like wilted lettuce and onions 😍

we use a turkey baster to get the grease out of the pan. Works great!

Same here,learned to do it growing up bc my parents did it as well. Just one of the many tips and tricks I've learned from them along the way...

@emilyguinn8025 2 жыл бұрын

Definitely keep my bacon grease!! You can pour it in a coffee cup/mug while hot, then let it cool a little. Cover it with plastic wrap touching the top, then aluminum foil over top of the mug. After that I keep it in the fridge, so it lasts longer. I love using it to make homemade gravy and to “season” beans like you would if you needed ham. 👍🏼 Maybe this is just a GA girl thing! 😂 I was raised that way.

I am not one to sit and watch things like KZfaq, HOWEVER, I am officially addicted to watching you Bunkys. I have also turned on many family and friends on to your channel. Love your recipes. FYI, I made the sausage, egg and cheese muffins but added a small can of diced green chilies. Mr. B would love them. Keep us cooking, baking, loving and laughing💜

Jessica you always look beautiful regardless if you cleaned out the garage or wearing a cap. Your true self is beautiful across the board. .

Thank you! I look forward to watching your videos every week!

I love hearing Jessica’s voice when she goes , “ ooohhhh! Yea! “ And she laughs! I’m deaf but have some hearing with my hearing aids and JBL speaker to amplify the sound. I can hear her hubby talk and he has a deep soothing voice which is easy to understand. Just want to share. The closed captioning helps 100 percent. That’s why I watch all of your videos! 😁 also I read lips very well ( my family is Italian and fast/ loud talking peeps.). I sure had to Learn quickly to keep up with them! Lol ! You both enunciate your words so clearly which makes watching the videos so much easier and I enjoy every one of them. I want to say thank you. 🥰

That cheeseburger meat would be delicious just on a hamburger bun! Kind of like sloppy Joes but with Velveeta. Yum! I use a digital thermometer to make certain my meat is cooked through. Takes out the guesswork. Also, you can just pinch the tops off of those basil branches - do it above two leaves & new branches will form & make the plant even bushier. Also keeps it from going to seed. Everything looked delicious!

You actually want to prune that basil! The more you prune the better it will grow - bushy instead of up and thin. Don’t be afraid to cut some basil off and use a bunch. Cut above a set of leaves

I actually have a grease container that has a strainer on top that I use specifically for bacon grease. My mom & grandma always used the bacon grease to season green beans or to cook eggs or potatoes in. The other types of grease I do the jar or if I have a tin vegetable can will use that! Those cheese burger tacos looked amazing!!!!

Have you ever had Catalina potatoes?!? 😋🤤 such a good recipe. Not sure if it is a recipe or my mom made it up. Boil up enough potatoes for what you want to eat, drain once tender. Then melt a couple tblsp of butter, sauté onions (or not 😝) add potatoes and dressing to coat, then salt and pepper to taste! 😋😋 Garlic powder always tastes good too!

I take my marinade and put it in a pan on the stove and add a little bit of cornstarch and water and pour it in and boil it for a minute or two and thicken it then you can use it and brush it on the pork and it gives it such great flavor. I also serve some on the side with the port drizzle over. What I use for my marinade is apricot jam and soy sauce combination

@athomewithtexasgirl9888 2 жыл бұрын

All 3 dishes look amazing! Yall make a great cooking team. Really good idea with the tin foil for the fat. I'll have to do that next time. Bunky's idea with saving the jars is good to. I forget and just throw things away so I have what I call my "fat cup". Its a chipped coffee mug that no one uses. Done this for 15 years but now im thinking i'll switch to the tin foil. Easy clean up!

I save my bacon grease in a can made to strain the bits out and store the rest in the refridgerator to make bacon gravey, fry my potatoes in and to season my green beans. you can get them at wal-mart. Just google grease can for kitchen. the hambuger grease is straind through a colinder into a pan. then get your water really hot and put some dawn in the pan you caught the grease in. put hot water in this pan and swish it around. the dawn will nuturalize the grease and you can dump it down your drain followed with hot water, i have used this method for years.
