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

Directions

Step 1

Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 2

Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 3

Add the butter to the skillet with the bacon grease, and melt it over medium heat.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the seasonings.

Step 6

Crumble the cooked bacon and return it to the skillet, stirring it into the gravy.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over your favorite low-carb dishes.
