What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Color of Food: Quick-Mix Cheesy Grits! Step away from the usual breakfast smoothie for an occasional southern meal of cheesy grits, eggs-over-easy, and crispy applewood bacon. Grits are not only quick and easy, they’re delicious and filling. This fail-safe method is spot on and can be whipped up in no time at all. It’s packed with enough protein to keep hunger pangs at bay. Save the weekends when you have more time for making grits from scratch.
QUICK-MIX CHEESY GRITS
Ingredients:
1/2 cup instant grits
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
Pat of butter, for garnish
Instructions:
Combine instant grits, water, and sea salt in a quart microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl. Stir. Microwave on HIGH 3 minutes or until thickened when stirred. Add cheese; stir. Cook 1 minute longer or until cheese melts into a creamy texture. Spoon cheesy grits into individual bowls and add a pat of butter to each bowl. Serves 4.
Oh yumm Gail!

Looks good, being English I have never had grits I guess it’s like polenta.

Cousins. Polenta is made from yellow corn, grits from white corn. 🌽
