Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Cook Bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving bacon grease in the skillet.
Whisk Flour into the bacon grease until smooth. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in Chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer.
Add Tomatoes, Sugar, Salt, and Pepper to the skillet. Stir well.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
Stir in the cooked Bacon before serving.
