Yep and I've been saving or using fats alot more when I learned about making schmaltz. Before that I trimmed & tossed, but no more. For those tacos, I used a package of some chuck steaks that were starting to look a bit funky in the freezer. Stuck them in the crockpot with some seasonings in the morning and by late afternoon they were fall apart. I chopped them up a bit including the fat. Today I made about a dozen or so of the rolled taquitos with the extra meat filling and mixed it with some salsa, then rolled & fried them. I had a couple for lunch and stuck the rest in the freezer.
Another thought came to me today about making stuffed peppers. I haven't made them in years. Hubs liked them stuffed with a meatloaf like filling, but I remember when Ma made them when I was a kid, she added rice mixed in the meat.
