Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup bacon, diced
  • 1/4 cup onions, diced
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups quick grits
  • 6 ounces American cheese
  • 1/4 cup scallions

Directions

In a large skillet over high heat, add bacon, onion and a pinch of pepper. Cook until bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes.

In a medium pot, add water, milk and a pinch of salt. Place lid on top and allow to come to a full boil. Add grits. Stir. When grits have almost absorbed all the water add cheese. Mix to allow cheese to melt and become creamy. Add bacon and onions and top with half of the scallions. Mix thoroughly.

Serve in a bowl and garnish with remaining scallions.

    Best Grits!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These were the best grits I have eaten. My "Yankee" husband, who never eats grits, even liked them. The recipe was easy and I... will for sure make them again.Read more

    Love These Grits!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Aaron, these grits are the greatests! I've tried several recipes in the past, but these are by far the best and the... creamiest. I follow the recipe exactly, except I substitute the milk with 1 cup evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup water. This really kicks up the richness of the grits. I also use the butter-flavored instant grits. Thanks for such a simple, yet tasy version of cheese grits!Read more

    I must say that everything this episode had was great. Every time I watch the show, which is everytime it is on, I relate to... his recipes. They are simple, good and beautiful. I hope the food network knows how fortunate they are to have such a down home talented chef. T MillsRead more
