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.

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.

Apfelkuchen (Apple Cake)
I fell in love with apfelkuchen when I was in 6th grade. Our teacher let us order from a local German bakery and eat our treats in class once a month. These flavors bring back wonderful memories.
Lazy French Onion Soup
For this lazy French onion soup, onions caramelize in the oven, with only intermittent stirring. Toasted baguette and bubbly broiled Gruyère cheese finish the soup.
