Tomato Gravy

Submitted by Chef53Kathy

"This is really great served over buttered biscuits with bacon and eggs for breakfast. The gravy is delicious and everyone raves when I make this! This dish can also be used a main dish gravy if desired. I believe this came from a 'Taste of the South' magazine."
