Ingredients
- 6 thick-cut slices of bacon
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, preferably San Marzano
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 6-8 Biscuits for serving
Instructions
- Add the bacon to a large skillet over medium heat. Fry for about 4 minutes on each, or until crispy and cooked to your liking. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
- Add the flour to the pan and whisk to combine, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, one big splash at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add the canned tomatoes, followed by the heavy cream, sugar, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
- Allow the mixture to come to a simmer. Then, reduce the heat to maintain a low, gentle simmer and stir in the thyme. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Crumble (or chop) the bacon into small pieces and stir to combine. Serve over biscuits and enjoy!
