After cooking Ground Beef in a skillet what could the Grease in the pan
be used for?

MFK Fisher suggested using it instead of hand lotion,
but that was during WWII. I use leftover bacon and burger
grease as cooking fats. Gravy is a possibility as well.
Occasionally too I will saute things in rendered beef fat
that need flavoring up - stuff like vegetables and white
meat chicken.

I don't put it in the Drain, it goes in a used Milk Jug stored in the Refrigerator until Garbage Day.

They used to say that you could put it down the drain
with the disposal running and cold water flowing, but
that doesn't seem so clever. Back in the oldest olden
days some people suggested pouring it down hot with
hot running water, but that just means the clog will
be farther down and harder to fix. The cold water idea
was meant to make little clots that flowed down into
the main. Hah - that didn't work. See tinyurl.com/fatberg.

Food scraps go in the Jug too.

Meat and dairy scraps for sure. They are supposed to be
compostable but on;y if you have a heavy-duty and critterproof
bin or send it out commercially.

Doing that keeps the bugs away from the kitchen waste basket.

For sure, a good idea.

servings: 6 to 8

1 1/3 lb lean ground turkey
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 c chicken stock
15 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
15 oz can tomato sauce
2 Tb paprika
2 ts ground cumin
2 ts dried marjoram
2 bay leaves
2 ts crushed red pepper flake (optional)
Kosher salt
Fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 lb whole grain elbow macaroni
Nonfat Greek yogurt (optional)

Saute the turkey in a dutch oven over medium-high heat
until no pink remains.

Add the onions and garlic. Stirring occasionally; cook
until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 min.

Add the chicken stock, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce,
paprika, cumin, marjoram, crushed red pepper flake,
and bay leaves to the pot. Season with salt and
pepper. Stir well. Place a lid on the pot and cook
for 20 min.

Remove the lid and add the elbow macaroni. Replace
the lid and cook for an additional 20 min, stirring
occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to
the bottom of the pot.

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 10 min or
until the sauce has thickened up.

Top with a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt and a sprinkle
of paprika.
