What do I do with leftover bacon grease?<\/h3> \r\nSave your leftover bacon fat in the fridge to use in a variety of ways. Try baking with it, adding it to ice cream or any of these other \r\nbacon grease ideas<\/a>.\r\n\r\n

Are there any variations I can make with this recipe?<\/h3> \r\nThis top-rated breakfast recipe<\/a> can easily be adjusted to suit your tastes. Feel free to use country pork sausage instead of bacon or make it vegetarian by eliminating the meat and replacing the \u00bc cup reserved bacon drippings with oil or butter. \r\n\r\n

Can I make this with more or less eggs?<\/h3> \r\nYes, you can make this recipe with more or less eggs! Make as many wells in the potato mixture for as many eggs as you need.
