Stove Top Grit

I made this up this morning to dress up quick cooking grits... I double the cook time to make them creamy, and added eggs, bacon bits, and shredded cheese while cooking. It turned out great! It's pretty flexible, I think, and you could use minced sauteed onion for a different flavor, sliced bacon fried and crumbled, different cheeses, and garnish with what you like. If I'd had them, I would have garnished with green onions as well.

Time 20m

Yield 2 1/2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups skim milk (can use half water)
1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup shredded cheese (used colby jack)
1 -2 tablespoon bacon bits (the real ones)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
sour cream (for garnish)
green onions (for garnish) or chives (for garnish)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, slowly bring the milk just to a boil over medium heat. Whisk in the grits and reduce heat to medium low, whisking frequently to prevent lumps from forming, and simmer about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk in beaten eggs, one at a time, stirring quickly to keep the eggs from forming lumps. Stir in bacon bits (or crumbled bacon, yum!) and cook 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add cheese, stirring until it's melted in and the grits look creamy. Add onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour into serving bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, green onion, more bacon -- whatever suits your fancy.
  • Enjoy!
