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.

Delicious!! My husband and girls love this for Sunday morning breakfasts. They could eat it every week. Very good. Only thing I do different - I start the bacon first - to allow it to crisp - then add the onions (I don't put them in the pan together right away.

I've been making this recipe for about a year now and it is just fabulous. I love making it for guests, especially those not familiar with grits, and listen to the raves. Great side, Aaron. Thanks

Aaron, everytime I watch your show, my mouth waters. These grits are a perfect example of what I am talking about. They were creamy and delicious. Adding bacon and onions was the icing on the cake. Only 1 problem- my husband loved them so much, I'm practically making them every weekend!
