Directions:You may not think you like grits, but you will. Trust me.
Directions from Aunt Mandy: "Get your grits going on the stove as directed, but make these here changes: Substitute milk for at least half the water. Stir constantly while waiting for the second boil and add in salt and pepper liberally. While your grits are simmering, grate you up some sharp cheddar cheese. When the grits are fixing to be done, stir you in some cream cheese... about 1 oz per serving, I reckon. Pour them lovely grits into bowls, and then top generously with that cheese that you grated. Top each helping with Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Now if any of those youngens try to back-talk you about not wanting to partake of this fine Southern dish, 'Well, kiss my grits' is the standard retort." |

Notes: A Bit About Grits
"Grits are mainly a breakfast side dish. For the best taste and consistency, they should be cooked with milk instead of water. Grits are usually topped with butter or cheese, but many folks around here stir cheese into grits until it melts and turns the grits an orange color. I would say that the standard Southern breakfast is eggs, grits (buttered), bacon or sausage, biscuits and white gravy. The eggs and grits are usually mixed and consumed together. For dinner, we have shrimp and grits, and grits are always served at fish fries. Every breakfast and seafood restaurant in the South serves grits. If you have leftover grits, store them in your fridge. Mama always sliced them up the next morning, dipped them in beaten eggs and cooked them up in a frying pan." ~ Mandy
* These notecards attached my to Christmas gift (maybe 2015?), a Grits Kit, complete with a block of Velveeta and a bottle Frank's Red Hot Sauce.
