I freeze it and then throw it away. Not really good for it to go down the drain!

I save it in the fridge and use a bit of it to flavor green beans, pinto beans, sometimes cornbread. It gives them a nice little kick of flavor.

Yes, they do say that it's bad for you, but it gives a fried egg a fantasitc taste. LOL     I fry thick bacon on low (to get the most grease) and I set it aside to cool. Then I make fresh green beans ( or sometimes use can beans) in a steamer, or you can boil them. I peel potatoes and cut them into pieces, and boil them until tender. Then I drain the potatoes, mix them with the green beans, throw in a can of drained corn. To that I add the bacon grease, and crumbled bacon. Really good! My husband loves corn fried in it too. I keep a container in the refrigerator and just add to it.
