spix, the bacon is cooked first.  Use the grease to add to the stuffing.

Thanks for pointing that out; I made the edit in the OP.

It tastes really good.  The first time I made it, it was for the kids the night before Thanksgiving.  It disappeared a lot faster than I planned.

Hi Honny, how are you??  I hope you and your family have a great Christmas!  You know we will be eating all kinds of Fattylicious foods for the holiday!!

WOW!!! 1/4 c BACON GREASE....that is a lot of bacon grease. I would rather cook a pound or two of bacon and put that in the casserole. I prefer bacon to grease. My gal bladder would be doing some serious complaining! I will try this but without the grease, maybe dots of butter or just without all together.
