I’ve mentioned this before, but my mamaw made red eye gravy, which is basically just bacon grease and coffee grounds, then you would sop your biscuits in it. I’ve only had it once since she passed in the early 80s, at the Whistle Stop restaurant in Glendale, near Elizabethtown, and I was disappointed, although that is a great country restaurant.

Red eye gravy is the bomb. My pawpaw made it, mostly whenever they had coountry ham.. But something even better--- my pawpaw made something called tomato gravy. He made it when they had something called swiss steak. The gravy did have an orangish tint to it. I put it over the steak , and especially over granny's homemade mashed potatoes. Best tasting gravy EVER!!!!
