This is great, but I usually use 6 tablespoons of salt and nineteen cups of coffee. Happy Sunday!

I cheated and added a wee bit of flour because I wanted the gravy to be a bit thick. I served it with kale sauteed with garlic and popovers and it was fantastic! This dish must be an aphrodisiac, my boyfriend jumped me at the table the moment we were done eating!

This authentic recipe is easy on the budget and the taste buds. I made the recipe exactly as directed except I substituted a non-stick pan for the cast iron pan because I no longer have one. It still came out delicious, not too salty melt-in-your-mouth ham steak & fixin's. Fixed it with biscuits and sweet potatoes with some sweet tea. This is my idea of Southern comfort food. Thank you for the recipe.

redeye gravy is a true southern tradition..there is even a little jingle.."grits and gravy and black eyed peas..doo da doo da...lol...we either had a ham steak with it or fried catfish but there were ALWAYS grits made with it instead of potatoes or rice. Oh..and the grits should be buttered, salted, and peppered...not sugared like cream of wheat.

My mom cooked the salt cured ham over high heat. Removed the ham and just added water. Removing all the ham bits and salt from the pan made the "red" color. Great on Biscuits and grits. She never used coffee.

Tasty! Never made red-eye gravy before, so wasn't sure what to expect. I personally think I will use a little less oil next time.

I absolutely loved the flavor of the coffee with the ham. It turned out perfect for the 2 of us and the little bit of leftover ham was even better!

Note to those who want thick gravy...Find another recipe..This is exactly what redeye gravy is supposed to taste like..DO NOT add flour to thicken..this gravy is best served over grits or biscuits.
