The Gift of Grits

[Johnny Ray]

A good friend of mine gifted me with these yesterday. I’ve never had yellow grits before so what better to have for my breakfast this morning.

I cooked the grits per package instructions. Added some cubed up extra sharp white cheddar just before removing from the heat.

Plated. Topped with bacon, butter and a generous dusting of black pepper.

Man-o-Man were these good! Super rich and creamy! Next up on the menu.... Shrimp and Grits.

Now your turning into a true southern boy. I love grits but can't say I've ever had yellow grits either.

Smokerjim. I loves me some grits but have to admit they need a little help. Hence the bacon, butter and cheese.

Thanks,

halfsmoked, born and raised in eastern NC. Moved to KY in 1994. I’ve got a lot of southern in me. Lol
Yellow grits are very good I must say.

Thanks,

Flat broke. Nope. These cook for 20 to 25 minutes. I have some instant that cook in 5 minutes or so.
Well worth the effort!

Thanks,

shrimp and grits is the s**t! never had grit till I met my wife who grew in the MS TN area. grits are great with or without cheese.

Looks good! Love grits, and they do need a little help.

If you have any leftover grits, be sure to spread flat on a cookie sheet and cool completely. Then once they’re cool, cut them in circles or squares and fry em.

Never tried that unless that’s what they call fried mush. I had that once up in northern Indiana. Really liked it.

I’ll have to research the difference in white versus yellow. I’m guessing it’s how much they are processed.
