In reply to Sean. I have to add my 2 cents here. Vegetable or seed oils of any kind are terribly UN-HEALTHY fats...coconut oil or lard are considered a whole.food and have more benefits by far.

In reply to Sean. Definitely not going to debate the health of vegetable oil here Sean. Do as you wish. I stand by my comments and beliefs. My journey from a wheelchair wasn't based on the foundations of PUFAs that's for sure. --Rachel

Thanks for sharing the recipe, and love Red Eye Gravy on biscuits, but just one caveat to your write up – coconut oil or lard do not offer health benefits over vegetable oil. Both are solid at room temperature and are not ideal for heart health. Flavorful though, so have at it if you wish.

I think my mom would make it sometimes using sausage grease, have you heard of that? I might be mistaken, that was 50 or more years ago!

In reply to Barbara reeves.

It sure wouldn’t taste the same Barbara. You can give it a try but I don’t know if it will be what you’re hoping for. –Rachel
