Grandma's Southern Tomato Gravy

Step 1

Pour the tomatoes into a medium sized skillet set over medium heat.

Step 2

Let the tomatoes cook until hot, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the flour to the broth, and whisk vigorously until the two are completely incorporated and the mixture's smooth.

Step 4

Pour in the flour/broth mixture, whisking constantly until it's incorporated completely. Don't skip this step! You don't want any lumps or odd bits of mini dumplings in your tomato gravy.

Step 5

Stir in the bacon grease, and bring the tomato gravy to a full boil. Once it's reached a boil, immediately reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes- or until the gravy's thickened.

Step 6

Season with the salt and pepper, taste and adjust if needed.

Step 7

Serve the gravy hot, ladled over fresh biscuits.
