Bacon Grease Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cook bacon in large skillet on medium heat just until bacon is lightly browned, turning occasionally. (Do not cook until bacon is crisp.) Remove bacon from skillet; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 2 Tbsp. drippings from skillet.
• Arrange bacon slices on bottom of 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray; top evenly with apple slices. Sprinkle with sugar.
• Beat cake mix with reserved bacon drippings and remaining ingredients in large bowl with mixer until blended; pour over ingredients in baking pan.
• Bake 35 to 40 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake 5 min. Run knife around edges of pan to loosen cake; invert cake (in pan) onto serving tray. Let stand 5 min. before carefully removing pan. Serve cake warm.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour pan.
• 2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
• 3. Pour into prepared pan(s).
• 4. Bake at 350 degrees 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in skillet; crumble bacon.
• Melt butter in bacon grease over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, and garlic until tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer vegetables and bacon to large bowl; stir in mashed potatoes, American cheese, flour, egg, mustard, black pepper, and hot sauce.
• Heat vegetable oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of mashed potato mixture, flattening slightly, and fry patties until golden brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch round cake pan.
• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet; cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but still soft, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Place the bacon on the bottom of the greased cake pan, overlapping slices as necessary to fit. Sprinkle the bacon strips with the brown sugar.
• Combine the prepared cake batter, maple extract, and maple syrup in a large bowl, mixing well. Pour the batter over the brown sugar and bacon in the cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes. Cool cake slightly and remove from pan by inverting onto a serving platter. Cut into wedges to serve.
