Ingredients:
1 lb. bacon
4 Tbsp. bacon fat
4 Tbsp. flour
2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. pepper
Salt to taste

Directions:
Cut bacon into 1/2 inch pieces.

Brown bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, about 15 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Measure the grease leftover from the bacon and then add 4 Tbsp. back into the skillet.

Over a medium-high heat whisk the flour and let it cook until bubbly, about 1 minute.  Add the milk and let the mixture thicken, whisking constantly, about 5 minutes.  Lower the heat to medium-low and add the bacon back in, add pepper and salt to taste.  Serve immediately.
