Southern Style Tomato Gravy Recipe

Cook the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned about 10 minutes. Reserving the drippings in the pan remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Stir the butter and flour into the bacon drippings. Scrape the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; cook and stir together until beginning to thicken about 3 minutes. Stir the tomatoes into the mixture using the spoon to break the tomatoes into small pieces while cooking; season with salt and pepper. Add the cream cheese and heavy cream; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer stirring frequently until hot and thick about 10 minutes.
