Red Eye Gravy

It's a southern thing.  Like old fashioned country ham.  But it turns out to be pretty good.

Left over country ham slices.  Couple pounds
Enough shortening to coat bottom of a large heavy skillet
1T butter
1T Flour
1/3 cp strong coffee
2/3 cp water
1/2 tsp Hot Sauce
Lowery's Seasoned Salt to taste.

Over med high heat, brown ham slices on both sides and put on heated platter to keep warm. 
Add butter and flour to skillet and combine to make a thin roux.  Add coffee and water.  Cook to thicken, scraping ham bits from bottom of pan while stirring constantly.  When thickened, add hot sauce and seasoned salt to taste.

Serve with biscuits or toast or over potatoes.
