Chicken Fried Bacon W/Cream Gravy

By tschnet1

Bacon - it's the icecream of the meat world, high in Vitamin-G (grease) and bound to make the food police crazy! This side of fat douple-dipped in fat then fried in fat & served with a side of fat (cream gravy) recipe comes from Sodolak's Original Country Inn restaurant in Snook, Texas. Cream gravy is my own recipe. I do not admit to ever making fried bacon so prep time is a guesstimate ;)

Ingredients

• 1 lb thick sliced bacon, cut in half
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk (or cream or half & half)

• spices (optional)
• oil (for frying)
