red eye gravy is a gravy made from country ham grease. salty a bit, but very good when done right

After frying country-cured Ham or Bacon, while the pan is still hot, pour a little Coffee into the skillet... This is called "Raising the Gravy"...... It breaks all the yummy little tidbits loose, ....... spoon over Grits or split hot Biscuits.... eat with scrambled eggs.... Called a "stick to your ribs" breakfast.
