Bacon Up collects its grease through a traditional smokehouse process in cooperation with SugarCreek Packing, the nation’s largest independent producer of pre-cooked bacon. It is “100 percent authentic bacon grease†that is not hydrogenated, has no trans fat or carbohydrates and is non-GMO, according to the company.
The product was introduced for retail sales in 2018 in nine Buc-ee’s in Texas. Distribution now includes select H-E-B stores, where gallon containers are priced at $16.99 to $19.99. The 14-ounce tubs will be available beginning the first week of November for $7.99. Also available on Amazon.
Like my mother, I always have a deep reserve of bacon grease, which I keep in Bonne Maman jam jars in my refrigerator. I stir a giant spoonful into my Crock Pot of pinto beans, and more later when those beans are refried. I’ve used it to fry summer corn with onions and cherry tomatoes; to lubricate a cast-iron pan for cornbread; and to make a vinaigrette for a frisée salad with lardons and a fried egg.
