This was a staple in my home growing up and is usually served over biscuits, with corn bread, bacon, eggs, and cheesy grits.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Reserving the drippings in the pan, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Stir the butter and flour into the bacon drippings. Scrape the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; cook and stir together until beginning to thicken, about 3 minutes. Stir the tomatoes into the mixture, using the spoon to break the tomatoes into small pieces while cooking; season with salt and pepper. Add the cream cheese and heavy cream; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until hot and thick, about 10 minutes.

OLD-FASHIONED SOUTHERN TOMATO GRAVY
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Put the chopped tomatoes in a saucepan with 1 cup of the chicken stock. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer the tomatoes while you prepare the roux.
- Put the bacon drippings or butter in a medium saucepan and place it over medium-low heat.
- When the fat has melted and the foaming subsides, add the flour.
- Cook, whisking constantly until the roux is just light brown. It should be about the color of peanut butter. Don't let it burn.
- Remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir in the simmering tomato and broth mixture.
- Return the tomato mixture to the heat and stir in 1/4 cup of milk, cream, water, or stock.
- Whisk in tomato paste, if using, along with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring until hot and bubbling. If too thick, add more liquid (milk, cream, water or stock) as needed.
- Garnish the sauce with a sprinkling of chopped fresh parsley and serve.
