I don't make bacon often (monthly, maybe), but when I do, I make a few pounds of it in the oven on baking sheets and can fill the jar quite easily with the drippings. Then, I use it to cook eggs, green beans, brussel sprouts, greens, cabbage, etc.

Hmm, I never even thought about doing this. I do remember my mom keeping a can of grease on the stove as well for frying. When I fry my bacon, if it is too much, I will pour out half of it but add butter to fry my eggs, this brings much flavor to my eggs which I don't have to add salt to
