What do you do with bacon grease?
I'm living off bacon and eggs the next few weeks, because it's cheap as fuck here, and I want to increase the fat and protein and lower carb intake. I've got a ton of bacon fat now. What are some tasty things to do with it?

What about when I'm not on bacon and eggs? My finances improve next month, and I can start eating other things.

First thing that comes to my mind is liver and onions. Any good liver and onions starts with bacon grease.
Most things you would cook in a skillet can be cooked with bacon fat instead of butter or oil. Try grilled cheese this way it's unbelievable

Use in place of any other oil in any recipe, except for baking, numbnuts.

This. I don't have or know of any "special recipes"/"ways to use bacon grease" that you wouldn't use any other kind of fat or oil from. The only thing I could tell you is that when you substitute bacon grease for anything else except maybe pure lard, it's going to taste a lot better (i.e. vegetable oil, canola oil, etc.)

Use the bacon grease to make a rue for a white gravy. You can also substitute the bacon grease for butter in biscuits. Biscuits and gravy.
Use the bacon grease in a pie crust to make a pie shell and use the bacon and eggs to make a quiche.
Bacon grease can also be used for fry other thinks like cornbread for a corn bread flapjack.
Home fries cooked in bacon grease are also delicious just some chopped potatoe and onion salt pepper poof yum achieved.
Bacon grease is better than any other fat out there for roasting vegetables it's especially good for potatoes.
So to summarize so far, use it in everything but baking. Bacon mayo, bacon salad dressings, anything with an oil or a fat?
Sounds great.

couple tablespoons of it is really good for dumplings for chicken and dumplings
Bacon grease is awesome as a base to make a salad dressing with. Spinach that takes like bacon is a top tier side
Heat it up to 350, and fry the hell out of just about anything. It is also good for vegetable saute. Some people also brush it on brussel sprouts then top it with cheese and broil it in the oven.

Do you have to serve the dressing hot? It seems like a bacon grease dressing would solidify again at rimy temperature.
Use bacon fat to grease loaf pans when baking bread. Put a couple of tablespoons on top of the loaf about 3/4 of the way through the process. Great with cheese breads.

Not hot, but at least warm. It's less of an issue once you've got the vinegar and everything else mixed in.
