Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 slices bacon, chopped
6 scallions, sliced, greens and whites separated
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups low-sodium chicken stock, warmed
1 1/2 cups quick grits
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
Two 4-ounce jars sliced pimentos, drained
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
1 cup grated Monterey Jack
2 tablespoons adobo sauce
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the bacon in a medium pot over medium heat and cook until crisp, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the scallion whites and garlic to the pot to cook in the residual bacon fat. Cook, stirring, for a minute or two, then pour in the warmed stock. Raise the heat and bring it to a boil.
  • Slowly whisk in the grits. Cook until the liquid is all absorbed, about 5 minutes, then stir in the cream cheese, pimentos, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, adobo, mustard, salt and pepper to taste and half of the reserved bacon. Serve garnished with the remaining bacon and reserved scallion greens.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pimento cheese grits turned out lumpy and watery.

Creamy grits with a cheesy, tangy kick. The pimento cheese adds a delicious flavor that pairs perfectly with the grits.
