Bacon
Drippings Scalloped Potatoes and Ham
“The bacon
grease not only imparts flavor, but it creates almost a velvety texture when it
comes to the "mouth-feel" of the sauce. “ Angela
Ingredients:
5 pounds
potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 - 2 cups
chopped ham
3/4 - 1 cup
flour

black pepper
2 tablespoons
butter, cut into small cubes
4 tablespoons
leftover bacon grease (cooled)
5 1/2 cups
(approximately) whole milk
Directions:
Preheat oven
to 350 degrees.
Grease a
large casserole dish - mine was a 4-quart ceramic roasting dish.
Set aside.
Place all of
the sliced potatoes and chopped ham in a large mixing bowl.
Sprinkle on
3/4 - 1 cup of flour (enough to coat potatoes thoroughly).
Add in the
salt and pepper.
Pour potato
mixture in the prepared baking dish.
Add in the
milk - use enough to come 3/4+ of the way up the sides of the dish.
Gently stir a
bit.
Top with pats
of batter and dollops of bacon fat.

possible.
Otherwise...
