How to Make Low Carb Bacon Gravy
- Cook 6 slices of bacon over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed skillet until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
- Once cooled, carefully remove all but 1/4 cup of bacon grease from the skillet. Reserve extra bacon grease for another use.
- Dice the cooked bacon into small pieces.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour (or regular flour if not following keto diet) into the bacon grease until smooth.
- Cook the roux, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden brown and frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Reduce heat to medium. Gradually whisk in 2 cups heavy cream and 1/2 cup water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Continue to cook and stir, allowing the gravy to thicken. This will take about 5-7 minutes. The gravy will thicken as it simmers.
- Stir in the diced bacon.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite low-carb side, or traditional biscuits!
