2 tblsp

Directions 8 steps | 25 Minutes

Step 1

Measure and prep all ingredients.

Step 2

In a large skillet on low heat, cook the bacon until crispy and cooked through. Transfer the crispy bacon to a plate and pour the bacon fat into a bowl. Measure out two tablespoons of bacon fat and add it back to the skillet.

Step 3

Turn the heat to medium-low and add the finely diced onions to the skillet. Cook the onions until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

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.
