It was on a show I recorded yesterday.

It was on shortcuts and she used jarred turkey gravy (a no no in my kitchen).  It has chopped celery and carrots which were sauteed and then she chopped up hard boiled eggs and added them. I have to say it was the strangest gravy I ever saw.

Are hard boiled eggs in gravy a regional thing?  If so, why do you add them?

I never have watched her but that just sounds nasty to me.  I would never eat anything like that, but it may just be delicious????

Oh YUK

@CrazyKittyLvr2 not in my region. However I’m not overly surprised - I remember a recipe from long ago for meatloaf with hard-boiled egg lined between layers of the meat.  Also not something I want to do.

My poor Mother was forced to eat this as a child ... in a cream sauce ..

the days when children had to eatwhat was put in front of them ..

luckily she never enforced this in her own house .....thanks Mom ...

I don't know about regional maybe more a family thing. It sounds disgusting. It's funny yesterday I posted about this in another thread my mil put hard boiled eggs in her stuffing. Also very strange and I never saw the benefit.

Wow, that seems as unappetizing as the current and ultra-modern  recipe trend to break an egg on top of just about any dish  and soft-cook it .

I like my  chili, casseroles, etc. without a runny egg yolk on top.  

DH likes his breakfast eggs cooked "over light" with runny yolks, so I make him cook those for himself while I leave the room!

@CrazyKittyLvr2  She probably said it was "magical." No thanks.

I am a white trash cook & I love creamed eggs!

Hard boiled eggs chopped up, put them in a skillet with some butter to warm them. Mix milk & flour:; pour over the warmed eggs. Salt & pepper. Heat & stir until the gravy thickens.

Serve it over toast, biscuits, English muffins....delicious!

Sounds awful, 

Ree almost always uses boxed and prepared and canned items, lots of butter, creams,  and sugar also.  The same type of cooking that everyone blasted Paula Deen for doing.
