How to Make Bacon And Beef Gravy
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook 1 pound of diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.
- Add 1.5 pounds of ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened and the flavors have melded.
- Stir in the cooked bacon pieces. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve immediately over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite dish.
