Any shortening is fat which has been rendered to a state in which it solidifies when cool and remains in solid form. Beef shortening is beef fat which has been cooked down in this manner. It can be used in cooking and also for waterproofing leather.

Is butter the same as shortening?
No. Butter is an emulsion of butterfat, water, air, and sometimes salt, churned from milk. Shortening is any fat that is solid at room temperature, not butter, and more typically related to margarine (a butter substitute prepared from beef fat). Shortening is prepared by allowing and limiting the bonding of hydrogen to fats. These fats can be vegetable or animal. Lard is the traditional form of shortening.

Can you use solidified bacon fat in place of shortening for pinto beans recipe that calls for a half cup water and 1 TBSP shortening?
Yes, you can. Lard (pork fat), tallow (beef fat) and other rendered animal fats (including bacon fat) originally, until the introduction of vegetable shortening, were called "short fats" or shortening. A result of the rendering process is that the portions of these fats that cannot be rendered are removed, leaving the fat 'short' of these [originally supposed] nutrients. So, yes, any rendered fats can be used in place of vegetable shortening. Keep in mind that the hydrogenation process that produces shortening also produces trans-fats [liquid fats that are processed to mimic the qualities of saturated fats] which are just as bad if not worse than the saturated fats [fats that are solid at room temperature]. You could, if you wanted, use oil in place of the shortening, (never do this for pastries, though) since the shortening melts into the recipe anyways.
