Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the butter to the skillet with the bacon grease, and melt it over medium heat.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the seasonings.
Crumble the cooked bacon and return it to the skillet, stirring it into the gravy.
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the gravy, whisking constantly to prevent clumping. Continue stirring for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over your favorite low-carb dishes.
