Much different. But oh so good over biscuits. The hillbillies around here live on the stuff. Next to biscuits n gravy of course. I was hoping his wife would give me a gallon or two to take home. mmmmmmmmmmmm ! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/205214/southern-style-tomato-gravy

I'm from that area, and I don't think I have ever heard of it. Wonder if it's a local thing in WV? Sounds good though, and I can see making it.

Throw up a recipe for it.
Biscuits and gravy is one of my all time comfort foods, wouldn't mind trying a variation on the gravy.

Hot damn.....Denny, that was the best dinner I've had in a bit.
I fried up some shoulder bacon. It's pretty lean. More like a smoked country ham. Pulled my pork out, added some butter and flour to the pan, stir and cook for a few.
Then hit it with a big can of san marzano tomatoes I had spun in the Quisinart for a second or two. Cook for a few more and stir well to incorporate the frond.
Added some heavy cream, salt and pepper, and a little shredded chedda. Simmer for 10 or so.
Fresh biscuits, topped with shoulder bacon, smothered in gravy, couple over easy eggs.....So damn good.
I'm one cocktail away from rubbing that schit on my balls and howling at the moon.

that recipe is for some kinda fancy-schmancy tomato gravy - real, southern 'mater gravy doesn't have any kind of cheese in it.
fry up some bacon and reserve a lil' grease. stir in flour and make a roux (brown the flour). add fresh, seeded tomatoes to your liking - three or four large tomatoes will make ah plenty. add in a cup to two cups whole milk and a big dose of fresh ground black pepper. throw in a pinch of salt and taste. may need a bit more salt to balance out but don't forget you're gonna eat that salty, crispy bacon you previously cooked. spoon over a big ol' cathead biscuit and you'll be ready to work the fields til noon.
Bless my grandmother (born in 1892), she made this all the time for me and my brother.
...and no, it's nothing like tomato sauce you put on sketti.

Hah! I blame the dearth of fine southern cuisine on my extreme excitement over a batch gravy.
It truly was an ethereal experience. Lol.

Might be good, as I have never had it, but I can't see anything making milk gravy any better than the simple kind. Chocolate gravy used to be the rage around here, but I did not care for it either. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Looks like a perfect use for some of the peeled and frozen tomato's from my garden this year....

Nice n eezy simple recipe that's great over biscuits or over anything else that may float yer boat yet some here are bordering on a freaking aneurysm. Simple fare nothing more.

Some people like some things, some not. For instance, I like peanut butter and I like jelly, but I do not want them together. Others are crazy about it. Same with fruit cocktail in jello. I like both, but separate. miles

Throw up a recipe for it. Maybe not the best choice of words in a food thread.

I Like tomato gravy but haven't had any for a while. The cooks from Alabama and Mississippi cook it pretty often but we have 2 Louisiana cooks right now.
