Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; set aside. Leave 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in skillet, or add butter to make 2 tablespoons of fat. Sauté green bell pepper in the fat for about 2 minutes. Stir in flour. Gradually add the tomato sauce; cook, stirring, until thickened. Add 1 cups of the shredded cheese. Crumble the bacon and add to mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
