I used it to make biscuits for the non-LCer of the house, too.

The good news is, since it's rendered and the water is cooked out, it'll last a really long time in your fridge.

You could try making soap out of it.

I have the same problem with bacon grease now. We eat a lot of bacon and I hate wasting the leftover fat, but I don't want everything tasting like bacon. Maybe I should make more bacon mashed cauliflower, etc. I tried the bacon mayo once, but it was pretty wasteful because we might have used a few Tbsps of it, and we were sick of it (and it doesn't keep very long.)
