Tomato Gravy

Start by opening cans of tomatoes and sauce and have other ingredients close at hand. Heat cooking oil on medium heat until hot. Place chopped onions in cooking oil and stir while cooking until oinions are clear (Omit this step if you do not want onions). Sprinkle flour into the cooking oil and (and onions if desired) and continue to stir until the oil and flour create a brown reux. Add 1 cup of water and stir well. Add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce and stir well. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir well. Allow to cook for approximately 15 minutes on low heat while stirring occasionally. Add additional water as necessary if the gravy thickens beyond desired consistency. Serve with biscuit, toast or other breakfast items.
