Thread: Grits what do you do with them

Just received a tub of grits (old fashioned) enriched with hominy? Brought back from over the pond by a friend, any ideas on recipes for how to use them

Grits are ground corn and are typically served in the South as a side dish at breakfast in place of potatoes. Grits can also be the main dish at breakfast. There are several ways of serving grits. The simplest way is just with butter. You can also mix in shredded cheese, or add crumbled sausage or bacon.

I like them with cheese and hot sauce

Cooked in bacon fat.

Cheese grits with hot sauce works for me, although plain with butter is pretty good too.

I like them with green chile, cheese, and garlic.

How many microns are your grits?

I've heard of 'em but never tried them.

Anyone know if you can get them in the UK?

Grits are pretty much like polenta. You could substitute that for anything in this thread (so far).
