Tomato Gravy over Rice

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes *
1/2 cup onions, chopped
4 slices bacon
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
3 tablespoons flour
Salt & black pepper

* Or use fresh tomatoes, and cook them down to about 2 cups.

Fry bacon until done but not crisp. Cut into pieces and set aside. Add onions and green peppers to skillet and sauté until soft. Add tomatoes and simmer 20 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.

Mix flour with enough cold water to make a smooth paste. Add to skillet, stirring constantly until thickened. Serve over cooked rice. Serves 4 to 6.

NOTE: You can omit the bacon and use any meat available (sausage, ham, etc.), or you can substitute 2 or 3 tablespoons butter.
