Recipe View 10 mins Render the Bacon (10 minutes): In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve the bacon fat in the skillet.
Recipe View 2 mins Create the Roux (2 minutes): Melt the butter in the skillet with the reserved bacon fat over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and salt until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1-2 minutes to create a light roux. This will thicken the sauce.
