Tomato Grits image

Many folks who are not from the South shudder at the thought of eating grits. I hope that anyone who is of this nature will try this recipe--it is not used here as a breakfast cereal, but rather as an accompaniment to lunch or dinner.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I can add whatever vegetables I have on hand, and I can also adjust the amount of cheese to my liking. I also like to add a little bit of hot sauce for a little bit of spice.

These grits are a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few tomatoes that start to go bad before I can use them all, so I love that I can just throw them in a pot with some grits and cheese and have a delicious meal.
