Step 1

Step 4

Add the flour to the skillet and whisk until the flour is incorporated and turns slightly golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Slowly drizzle in the chicken stock while constantly whisking to avoid clumps.

Step 6

Once all of the chicken stock is incorporated and a smooth sauce has formed, add the canned diced tomatoes. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. While the sauce simmers, finely chop the cooked bacon. Set aside.
