Old-Fashioned Southern Tomato Gravy

1/2 pound of diced bacon
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons of flour
1/8 teaspoon of salt
A pinch of black pepper
1 14-1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
3 cups of tomato juice

In a skillet, fry bacon until crisp and place on paper towels to drain. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings and cook chopped onion in drippings until tender. Stir in flour, salt and black pepper and cook, over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is golden brown. Gradually add tomatoes and tomato juice and stir well. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until gravy becomes thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in bacon and serve over hot biscuits.
