Cooking my heart out

Hey yall! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile been through some things but I am getting back into the swing of things. Today I want to give you my tomato gravy recipe. I do not have pictures at the moment but will upload the pictures as soon as I can. I love gravy and I love tomatoes. So I decided why not add them together. I pair it with my homemade jumbo buttermilk biscuits. I cook my gravy in a cast iron skillet. I feel that is the best way to make the gravy but I'm sure cooking it in a regualr skillet will do just fine. Also I use bacon grease because I feel it gives the gravy a extra flavor. You an use just regular shortening if you'd like. 

3-4 tablespoons of bacon grease. 

3-4 tablespoons of flour 

4 cups of whole or 2% milk 

Salt and pepper to your liking. But I would say about a teaspoon or so of each. 

1-2 cups of diced tomatoes

I get the bacon grease and have it warmed up and ready in the cast iron skillet and then I add in the flour. I wisk it around until it starts to become thick. Then I slowly pour in the milk. As I am pouring in the milk I am wisking it around in the skillet. Once all the milk is poured in I add my salt and pepper and continue to wisk. If you feel that the gravy might be to thin after a minute or two you can add a little bit more flour. Once all of that is wisked well I add in the tomatoes and wisk around for another minute or two. And there you have it folks Tomato gravy!
