Bacon Gravy is in no way considered a health food.  However every once in a while it is fun to have something down home and decadent.  Bacon gravy is prepared the same as sausage gravy, pretty easy.  A tasty addition to your weekend brunch.

Bacon Gravy

• ½ lb bacon cut into about 1 inch slices
• 1 Can of evaporated milk
• 1 Can of water
• 3 Tbsp. Flour
• 2 Tbsp. Butter
• Salt and Pepper

Put bacon in 12 inch saute pan with sides.  Fry until almost crisp on medium heat.  Add butter, when melted add flour, salt and pepper.  Stir and cook for a few minutes, until the flour browns slightly.  In a bowl mix together the evaporate milk and water.  Pour a small amount into the pan and whisk to thicken.  Continue to add milk/water to pan while whisking carefully and cook and whisk until desired consistency.  If your gravy gets too thick add regular milk or water to thin.  This shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes.  You want an easy simmer, not full boil to make the gravy.

I cheat and serve over baked frozen biscuits.  They are easy and not bad at all.

Enjoy!
