GRANDPA'S TOMATO GRAVY
Handed down from my Grandpa who was born and reared in south Georgia. It is really a sauce (because there is no flour in it) but you can eat it for breakfast over biscuits, eat it at room temperature like a soup at lunch or the way we ate it at his house over rice with hoe cakes for dinner. It is simple to make but tastes so good. It keeps in the refrigerator for several days and I think it tastes better the next day.

- Place the bacon in a Dutch oven, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat starts to cook out, about 2 minutes. Add the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the pan. Season with sugar and black pepper. Simmer until the sauce is reduced by at least 1/4 and up to 1/3, 30 to 45 minutes. Stir in the butter just before serving.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare your bisquits and fry up your bacon and boil your eggs. Peel your eggs while still hot and slice them up or mash with a fork like my Grandpa Campbell did.
- 2. Now, add your pats of butter and generous amount of pepper and a little salt.
- 3. Make up your gravy with the pan grease from the bacon a little butter and flour mix all together in a pan. Add a little milk if you want your gravy thinner.
- 4. Get your biscuits and open the up and pour your poormans' gravy over them and add your mashed eggs on top with 2 slices of bacon. You are ready to eat. We only make poorman'ts gravy once a month if that. Try not to enduldge in it too much. :-) But, boy did my Grandpa love his poorman's gravy!!
- 5. This is normally how I eat my mashed eggs over one slice of low calorie toast. Not quite as yummy but still tasty and of course a pickle to go with it since I'm not getting any bacon! hehe
GRANDPA GRAVY
When the group of grandkids went to grandpa's house he would make his "famous grandpa gravy" and we'd have biscuits and gravy for breakfast, lunch or supper, depending on when we were showing up. Grandpa made the gravy and grandma made the biscuits... (See recipe "Farm Girl Biscuits")
