Tomato-Bacon Gravy

Ingredients

• 5 slices bacon
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 onion , chopped
• 1 can stewed tomatoes , 14.5 ounce

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove the bacon to cool, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

2. 2

   Stir the vegetable oil and flour into the bacon drippings. Cook and stir until the flour has turned nearly as brown as the bacon, about 5 minutes. Stir in the onions and cook until the onions soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in the stewed tomatoes, breaking them apart with your spoon. Crumble the cooked bacon into the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the gravy has reduced to your desired thickness, about 10 minutes.
