Best Grannys Red Eye Gravy Also Called Redeye Gravy Recipes
RED EYE GRAVY
Red eye gravy gets its name from the appearance of the gravy's color. This gravy was originally made from the fat of ham steaks and then most often used as an added component to the ham dish. In this recipe, I will be using ham stock cubes as a substitute for fat drippings as an alternative.

RED EYE GRAVY
This southern classic is more of a thin sauce than a traditional thick gravy. It's made with strong coffee and drippings from a slice of cooked country ham. Red eye gravy has intense flavor with salty and bitter notes that pair well with biscuits, grits and ham. If you prefer a more mellow flavor, add a dash of brown sugar. -Peggy Woodward, Shullsburg, Wisconsin
