Add enough flour to absorb the most of the oil. Stir in the tomatoes and the tomato juice followed by the water. Allow to simmer on low heat to thicken. Adjust consistency as necessary. This recipe should be your basic meat sauce in a gravy of medium thickness. Add nutmeg about 1/2 t and perhaps sugar 1/2 t to adjust taste. In the NAVY this is served over toast at breakfast.
