Ham with red eye gravy is very common in the south still, Family members made this for us one summer and this is my husbands favorite way to eat plain ol' boring ham. I often add gormet dark roast coffee to my gravies to darken and add depth to the flavor. I encourage everyone to try this at least once, you will be pleasently surprised!
