INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 3 thick slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup milk

- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain bacon, reserving 1 tablespoon bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Heat bacon grease and vegetable oil over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook until flour is light brown. Slowly whisk in milk and 1 cup reserved oyster liquid. Stir until a thick gravy has formed.
