Yes.
Pig fat is lard. Bacon grease is pig fat, but salt and smoke flavored.
I have, in fact, made biscuits with bacon grease. They taste freakin
awesome. If you do car camping you cook your bacon first, the use some
of the oil for biscuits, and then for frying your flapjacks and eggs and
hash. Then hopefully you hike 20 miles to burn all that off. Or you
sit and drink beer all day and get fat, there's more than one style of
camping and I'm not here to judge.
Crisco shortening is made from vegetable oil. I'm not sure how they
make it into a solid at room temperature. I seem to think that's what
"hydrogenating" does, but I'm fuzzy on that. In any case it's a cheaper
substitute for animal fat in cooking. Lard is the OG cooking oil.

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 noticed the shortening in the Jiffy apple cinnamon mix I made
with dinner is lard. Use by date was 3 months ago. I was a bit
reticent given the lard, but they tasted fine.
How many vegetarians think lard comes from plants? I don’t know,
with all the plant meat and plant milk, maybe they’ll come out
with plant lard.

We just use black beans out of the can. We will season
them with green chilies, cayenne, and garlic. Choose your
own heat. I also like to add rice that we cook with a
little bullion.

Over the years I've built up a set of recipes that are

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.
