I think lard is basically fat. To my mom, shortening was Crisco. To my grandmother, shortening was lard. If I remember right, lard is pig fat, tallow is beef fat.
But bacon grease should be fine. In fact, as pig fat, bacon grease IS lard. Your biscuits might taste like bacon, but what’s wrong with that?

I don’t know, with all the plant meat and plant milk, maybe they’ll come out with plant lard.

Usually starting with a recipe which is in the ballpark, and then tweaking it until it's to my liking. What continues to evade me is Burrito Filling. I asked on here a few months ago for pointers, and have since then tried a couple of times. Still no luck. Not even close. I've tried to season refried beans out of the can. I've tried Canned beans of various types in the food processor. Cooking beans and then adding green chilis. Cooking beans with the green chilis in them (this was closest so far). And on and on and on. My favorite store-bought burritos have a simple set of filling ingredients: "Beans, Water, Cheddar Cheese, Green Chilies, Salt, Dehydrated Onion, Spices," Considering I've pretty much tried some combination of all of those at various times, there has to be something I'm just missing. Like how they're cooked, or the proportions, or something hiding in the ingredient catchall of "Spices".. And no it isn't chili powder or cumin... I want my bean filling to taste like beans with chilies and cheese, not like chili or tacos. My only saving grace is that it doesn't seem like Taco Hell has figured it out either...although a lot of "authentic" mexican restaurants have. If anyone knows the right magic incantation or any more pointers, it would be much appreciated. -- - Forrest -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Faf.afmug.com%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Faf_af.afmug.com&data=02%7C01%7Ccarlos%40race.com%7C25fb1b7dc5e1419e32e008d7dce01cc9%7Cc4f7941052bf4601be443afdc7670fe9%7C1%7C0%7C637220727432740773&sdata=PFOiJeCpM9zxRoB4MT5aBL91W1AsXw4lRlLDk%2FiPaQ0%3D&reserved=0> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
