In a food processor, combine crumbled bacon, crushed crackers, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Pulse until coarsely combined.
Heat reserved bacon grease (or butter) in a large saucepan over medium heat until bubbling.

Reduce heat to low. Gradually add the remaining 5 cups of cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
