Answer 1

cook a package of bacon in a skillet

place bacon on paper towels to drain

sprinkle flour into grease in the skillet until you have the consistency of wet sand, whisk mixture over low heat for about a minute

slowly stir in milk (or in your case cream) until you have the thickness of gravy that you desire (keep heat low)

add salt and pepper to taste

if desired, crumble bacon into small peices and add to gravy

whisk continuously until you are ready to eat

Answer 2

You can follow any recipe for pan juice gravy when making bacon gravy. The idea is the same; you are just substituting bacon and bacon grease for a roast and the pan drippings.

Simply cook the bacon in a traditional skillet, remove the solid bacon, and use the grease. Remove all of the grease, keeping up to 3-4 tablespoons for a roux while reserving the rest. You can deglaze the pan that the bacon was cooked in using pork stock, scraping the bottom to remove any bacon morsels or caramelized juices. In a separate pan, heat up the 3-4 tablespoons of grease and mix in at least 3-4 tablespoons of regular flour. Stir the grease and flour mixture until it is no longer lumpy, 3-4 minutes. You can then transfer this roux into the pan with the pork stock and bacon remnants. Continue to cook until the mixture has come to a slight boil, at which time you will get an idea as to how thick it will be. You can add some water or pork stock to thin out the mixture, or more flour to thicken it up.

If you choose to use cream, make certain that it has a high fat content, like whipping cream or heavy cream. Using milk or light cream in a recipe like this may lead to curdling or lumps.

Answer 3

Gravy is gravy. The only thing that changes is what meat you get the juices from. As for using cream instead of milk, that should work, but use less because it will get quite a bit thicker.

Good luck.
