Am I the only one? I grew up with chipped beef gravy, sausage gravy, and egg gravy. It's the same roux-based gravy but with chopped up hard boiled eggs instead of sausage.

When I met my wife 35 years ago she said "you ate what?". I've made it a few times, nobody else in my family will touch it. I've mentioned it a few times to people I know and get the same reaction.

So, am I the only one who's family made this?

Mom made gravy with that salty beef that was sliced real thin and came in little jars. Made gravy with sausage, with the greases and crunchy’s from frying chicken or pork, with hamburger too but never eggs. I may try it. Anything to know besides putting hard boiled eggs in it?

Never heard of it, but I'd try it over biscuits for sure. Any more details on the recipe?

Are you sure it wasn't gravy served over hard boiled eggs, don't see how egg n yoke could stay together in a rue gravy, to answer never heard of it.

I guess only our family that ate this. Wonder who's idea it was.

It was just a roux with some milk to make a white gravy. A little salt and pepper. And add chopped up hard boiled eggs. We ate it over biscuits or toast.

Opened this thread to see what it was

Don't like boiled eggs so probably a hard pass for me, but for someone that does it is probably good

Closest I get to that is 2 eggs over medium on a bed of hashbrowns smothered in gravy.

any kind of gravy is good eats, chipped beef, sausage, egg, bologna, hotdog. I grew up at a time when you had to feed a family and had 3 hotdogs, you made gravy with them and ate it over home made bread.

Sounds like something that came about during the depression. This is the first I have ever heard of it, but it sounds good.

Never even heard of it till last year. Guy at work brought some in for us all to try over toast. He called it creamed eggs. It was really good.
