These aren't grits in the true sense, that's why the quotation marks. They're made from canned hominy, pulsed in a food processor to give them a grits-like texture. From The Best American Recipes 2001-2002, by chef Bobby Flay. Cooking and preparation times are approximate.

These grits were the perfect comfort food. They were warm, creamy, and cheesy. I'll definitely be making them again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my grits turned out lumpy. I'll have to try them again.

These grits were a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

These grits were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more cheese and salsa next time.
