This is exactly how my grandmother taught me in the 40’s and 50’s. It’s ready when it’s the color of a brown paper bag! That cooks off the flour taste! Great sauces take time and taste terrific! Cooking with love!!! I’m 80 now, and still cooking, even in my wheelchair!

I'm 60 years old. I was born and still live in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest Virginia. This is the kind of cooking I was raised on. I had a wonderful childhood and was blessed with good parents and grandparents. I was always close to my Papaw Fred. When he retired, he began cooking breakfast every day of the week as a gift of love and gratitude for Granny Elsie. He never talked much about it. He let his efforts say what he wanted to say. Having owned and operated a few country stores in their time, Papaw maintained friendships with his suppliers. He took great pains to always get the best ingredients he could find to make breakfast something special because for so many years, Granny was first out of bed every morning to make a hot breakfast and pack a lunch for Papaw and their two sons. He would drive for miles into the country for hand churned butter, farm raised bacon and sausage, local honey in the comb, farm fresh eggs, apple butter, cured ham, and more. Breakfast was always a meal fit for a queen. And it wasn't served until Granny was up and came to the table. Like my Mom and Dad, Papaw Fred taught me so much about life and about how to be a man. In his honor, I prepare Sunday dinner every week for my whole family to gather at their home place. Like Papaw Fred, I take pains with finding the best ingredients. And I pay close attention to what each family member likes. And they notice, even our young grandchildren. Papaw would make a gravy he called red eye gravy, which included coffee as the only liquid ingredient besides the grease left from frying country ham. He only made red eye gravy when he served the ham. It was delicious. Pay close attention to what your Mamaw cooks. I guarantee you she makes the best food you'll find anywhere on the planet. You don't raise that many kids and stay married to the same good man that long if you don't learn your way around the kitchen. God bless her! Respect her and never take her for granted. She is a precious treasure!

[@pam_jackson]

I enjoyed your story as mine was similar. I'm 70 and was raised in the kitchen with my mother at the helm. I learned to cook, clean the house, do laundry, and sit like a lady from her. Simple things back then have become treasures in time.

[@user-ix2mz7mp9y]

That's the secret to good red eye gravy. And the coffee helps draw the salt out of the ham.

Brewed coffee also gives a delicious lift to brownies, cakes, and bbq sauce.

[@JuliaMcLean6559]

How much coffee do you add to brownies and cakes? It sounds so delicious!😊

[@suzybailey-koubti8342]

We always used coffee when making bbq sauce. Mamaw always used molasses if the coffee wasn’t freshly brewed.

[@GiGiLafoo]

@@JuliaMcLean6559, I replace whatever liquid the recipe calls for with coffee. If a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of water or milk, I use 1/2 cup of freshly brewed coffee instead. It's better if the coffee is a little strong. Also, with brownies from a mix, I swap the measurements of oil and liquid. The box directions seem way too greasy.

[@lindapeterson6515]

You add it cold I’m assuming?

[@lindapeterson6515]

Did you let your coffee cool before you added it?

[@grantritchey7509]

Those of us blessed with a Mom, a natural cook like your Mom are truly blessed. But it comes with its downside.

I'm 79 years OLD and have made enough gravy to float a battleship, but I've never heard of putting coffee in the gravy. Will definitely try this. Mamaw is the first I've seen on YT to make gravy the way we did it in the mountains. That is, fry your meat, remove it, and then make the gravy using the grease left behind. Most mix flour into crumbled-up sausage, which in my opinion, is not the best way because of many reasons. Great video, and I wish y'all the very best.

[@kh40yr]

A helpful tip for everyone is to skillet brown your flour before adding to the bacon/sausage/poultry/Turkey grease. As it sounds, a couple cups, or more of your favorite flour in a hot skillet. Keep folding the raw flour with a spatula till the flour grains get toasted and SEALED. By sealing the flour grains, it instantly bulks or thickens the gravy as added. A nice and brown color in the skillet, but not burned flour. You can save the extra browned flour in a container in the fridge, for the next batch of gravy. You get about 2-3 months with the browned flour in the fridge, in a sealed container before you should toss it and make more. Dear Ma's trick, from Owensboro Kentucky, the Land of KFC. She passed in 2021, but I got those recipes. Your Mamaw's stirring for awhile, because she is waiting for the flour to brown, before adding the Evaporated. The Pre-browned flour works with ANY gravy you want and it's cuts the gravy making time in 1/2 and gets Mamaw off her feet quicker. For the uppedy, high snob, Gordon Ramsay chef's, the pre-browned flour is called a Mise En Place - A item or items gathered or prepared in advance for efficiency in the kitchen. Take Care Corey, Tell your Mamaw she's making me Hungry!!.

[@RowenMyBoat]

Please elaborate. I don’t eat much gravy anymore because I rarely eat fried foods I’ve always needed to make gravy taste like anything….like fried chicken, pork chop or country fried steak. If you don’t use this grease to brown your gravy, what liquid do you put in the pan with it to brown it? I’d love to have a Minh or two of a gravy base in the fridge for when I need it.

[@kh40yr]

@@RowenMyBoat You brown the flour dry, no grease. Toss a couple saltine crackers on top of the browned before snapping the lid and storing the dry browned flour in the fridge. ANY Grease you want for gravy, can now be made quick. As I add my per-browned flour to my hot grease, I whisk together, then add condensed milk or ??, season as cooking and boil-off reduce, if needed.

[@truthmatters8241]

@@kh40yr I'm a "from scratch cook", I appreciate your tip. I've edited this because I reread your comment and see that you do a coupIe of cups at a time. Thanks.

[@katbow5922]

That hint on Browning the flour is fascinating. Makes sense...thankyou

[@kh40yr]

@@truthmatters8241 Yup, just a couple cups of flour at a time. Any more than that and you risk burning the flour and You'll have a flour tornado in the kitchen trying to fold all that flour and brown it all evenly. I usually brown 4 cups in total. Should be good for 2-4 batches of gravy, depending.

Your Mamaw is a true treasure. I grew up with only one set of grandparents. My mother's mother passed 11 years before I was born and my mother's father passed when I was barely 3 yo. Even though 8:40 y Daddy's parents lived in Virginia and we lived in Florida they more than made up for my maternal grandparents absence. My favorite summers were going to Virginia and staying with Granny and Grandpa. They had already been married 51 years before I came along. They married March 12, 1912. Granny was 14 and Grandpa was 18. They had 11 children. All but two of those children lived to adulthood. Granny gave birth to her first child the day before she turned 15.They both passed in 1987, but had Granny lived to March 12 they would have celebrated their 75 wedding anniversary. Grandpa said he fell in love with Granny when he was 10 and she was 6. He knew he was going to marry her and he did. Two of their children are still living. My favorite memories are sitting on the porch swing with Granny while stringing and snapping green beans or peeling apples and peaches while she sang hymns out of the Old Regular Baptist hymnal. Her voice was as clear as a bell. My Granny wasn't as generous with her recipes as your beautiful Mamaw. She purposely left something out when she shared a recipe. She was definitely a sneaky one. I wasn't quite 24 when they both crossed. She in January and he in August. My biggest regret is not paying closer attention when they told stories of their youth and their parents. I still wake up sometimes and jump out of bed to drive 14 hours to go visit their resting place. My parents and many of Daddy's siblings az well as Granny's siblings are buried in the same graveyard. I'll talk to them for a few hours before heading back to Florida.A trip like that renews me somehow and makes me appreciate the memories that I have even more. I apologize for rattling on. May God Bless and keep you.

I’m new and I love hearing grandma’s stories. She seems like an amazing woman, five kids of her own and five children adopted, WOW! No, GOD bless you for being here! I’d love to see you make liver and onion gravy 😋🤤😋yummy oh, and can you teach me how to make homemade beef gravy? ❤️🙏❤️

Me too😮

Would love to see anything she makes! Maybe a meatloaf?

Way to go Mamaw!! I love Southern, Country cooking….can’t beat it….made with pure love ❤️. Coffee!! My new secret ingredient! Thank you!

[@kennyellis1966]

God bless these sweet Grandmas and Grandpas! I love coffee and I bet that is some good gravy. Tell them you love them and spend as much time with them as you can. It is great, your family has these videos to pass on down to future generations. My grandparents all went home to Heaven when I was a little boy but I remember each one of them and was blessed to have had what time with them I did have. I knew I was loved by them all.

[@jonathankenner576]

Thank you, Corey and Maw Maw! You asked for cooking suggestions or what we'd like to see next. Maw Maw reminds me of my Kentucky grandmothers, both of whom are with Jesus. I haven't seen anyone make these dishes since they passed. Creamed corn Homemade "catsup" (more like a sweet tomato relish than Heinz ketchup) Green beans (seasoned with bacon) Field or crowder peas (seasoned with bacon) Baked beans (seasoned with "catsup" and -- you guessed it -- bacon) 5 cup salad Pimento cheese spread Hand or fried pies Chocolate pie with meringue Homemade ice cream (banana was Granny's go-to) Sorry for the long list. My memories of my grandmothers are strongly tied to food. If anything, you helped me reminisce. 🙏

[@greatdanelady6956]

Love to Mamaw! ❤. I’m gonna make that gravy this weekend. Your Mamaw wouldn’t happen to know how to make ‘wilted lettuce’, would she? It’s something I never asked my Mom (born in 1918) about before she passed in 2010. I know she made it with bacon grease…. God Bless you all.

My late aunt used to make baked beans that were out of this world. She used to lay the bacon strips on top.

My grandmother was a wonderful southern cook like you and she passed suddenly. I never learned to make her creamed corn. She taught us cakes, roast beef and wish she had told me her method. Love watching you and your love of the Lord and family. Thank you for making these great videos giving us an opportunity to see how things have been made for generations!

[@dansteving5915]

Great job documenting and sharing! Wish I would have been able to video my Grammy make her special dishes. We have most of her recipes but they always seem to lack lack something. Never been sure if it was the brands she bought or her techniques but nothing beats a grandparents home cookin'.

[@truthmatters8241]

There are so many variabIes that the oId fashioned cooks compensated for that were not in the recipes. Like knowing how bread dough shouId FEEL due to changes in humidity. AIso sometimes the "measuring" was adjusted, too. The brands do make a difference aIso the size of the eggs. Practice makes perfect!! Have fun.

[@ritagreen9528]

Wow 😲 loving it 💕 I didn't know your secret ingredient 👍👍 I only knew to add coffee to the skillet after I cooked and removed the ham. The coffee raised up all of the goodie from the skillet. God bless you both and I just found your channel so I'm adding you to my daily prayer list 🙏❤️❤️

[@rubybell9901]

Good ol red eye gravy, with the ham and coffee

[@skaycgoldenridge]

You are a very lucky young man to have such a wonderful Mamaw...one with a heart of gold.

[@hettiecarries6450]

My mom made the best gravy, I use to call milk gravy, from a little fried chicken drippings and Carnation’s evaporated milk. Oh my word. It was so good with her home made biscuits and fried chicken. I could never duplicate her gravy.❤️ But she never put coffee in hers.

[@retroguy9494]

My late grandmother used evaporated milk in certain recipes. But what I most associate it with was my step grandfather. Because he always used evaporated milk instead of regular in his coffee. He was too cheap to use Carnation though. He always used the supermarket brand! LOL

Please cook several different bean recipes from different varieties of beans such as Pinto, Lima, split pea, and maybe 15 bean soup. With the economy going the way it is, it looks like beans will be very prominent on our tables for quite a while! Thanks for the gravy lesson!👍😀💗

ABSOLUTELY wonderful. I miss the old, BUT good days. I miss my grandma cooking like this. Love your mama, they are here for such a short time. 😢 Could your momma teach me to make homemade hash? I buy it out of the can, but would love to make it home-made. My grandma also used to make a taco salad in an old Tupperware bowl with chips n stuff. I wish I could find that again.
