  • Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar and water.

  1. I was a little perplexed by this recipe. I followed the recipe, but ended up adding another cup of water to get a gravy consistency. It was a quick fix, and being from the North, it was not something I had ever had. I will certainly make this again, but use half the oil and flour.
     
  2. Great over rice!!! Yum!!!
     
  3. We loved this gravy! I used fresh tomatoes and bacon drippings instead of oil. I had some left over and it reheated nicely the next day. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
     
  4. I love tomato gravy and this recipe didn't disappoint! I used the stewed tomatoes and omitted the sugar (just a personal preference). It was wonderful served over biscuits. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
     
  5. My mother made tomato gravy, which was served over a bed of rice and cooked blackeyed peas. VERY tasty!

  1. Wonderful recipe! I used bacon drippings instead of oil and ended up adding a little more liquid. I think the liquid varies depending on whether you use fresh or canned tomatoes as well as personal preference to the thickness of the gravy. I doubled the recipe and also added 1/2 cup tomato juice just to make it tomato-ier. It was fine without though. We served it over French Canadian Tourtiere and it made the dish. Thanks for sharing!
