Ingredients

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

Steps:

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.
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.

MY MAMA'S CATHEAD BISCUITS WITH TOMATO-BACON GRAVY

My Mama's Cathead Biscuits with Tomato-Bacon Gravy image

Okay as promised. Here is my Mama's recipe for Cathead Biscuits and Tomato-Bacon Gravy. She would make these every morning for breakfast. Sometimes we would just eat the biscuits with a bowl of oatmeal. We didn't know we were poor as dirt when we were growing up. Mama always made it seem like we were rich with her delicious meals.
