Ingredients

• 6 slices of bacon
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 1 can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil

Directions

1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
4. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, sugar, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and dried basil to the skillet. Stir everything together.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the gravy uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
6. While the gravy is simmering, prepare your desired accompaniments such as biscuits, toast, or mashed potatoes.
7. Once the gravy has thickened, stir in the crumbled bacon pieces. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the bacon through.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the gravy rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Serve the tomato bacon gravy hot over your chosen accompaniments and enjoy!
