This tomato gravy recipe was handed down from my Grandpa, who was born and raised in South Georgia. It is really a sauce (because there is no flour in it), but you can eat it for breakfast over biscuits, at room temperature like a soup at lunch, or the way we ate it at his house over rice with hoe cakes for dinner. It is simple to make but tastes so good. It keeps in the refrigerator for several days, and I think it tastes better the next day.
Ingredients
- 8 stripss bacon , cut into
- 1 large onion , chopped
- 2 cans diced tomatoes , 28 ounce
- 1 can tomato sauce , 14 ounce

Cook bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to render, about 2 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until onion softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes and tomato sauce; season with sugar and black pepper. Simmer until sauce is reduced by at least one-fourth and up to one-third, 30 to 45 minutes. Stir in butter just before serving.

Hot Ube Pandesal (Filipino Purple Yam Bread Rolls)
I'm sharing my version of the hot ube pandesal we ate for breakfast as kids and even for merienda (snack time), with hot chocolate or warm milk. I love food with ube flavor, so I incorporated it into my favorite breakfast bread. I know there are many pandesal recipes online, but I hope you try this and let me know what you think. Thank you! Serve hot with or without the spread of your choice. Warm leftovers in a toaster oven before serving for better taste.
