Red Eye Gravy…..Printed from Cooks.com

Optional meat………ham, fat back, bacon or hog jowl

½ cup of coffee

Fry meat slowly, making sure the drippings (grease) does not burn. Remove the drippings while they are hot and put in a bowl. Pour coffee into the frying pan and then pour in drippings.

The term "red-eye" supposedly comes from the little red circles or "eyes" of grease that form in the gravy on the plate.
