Author Notes
I had heard about grits and of us seem to be giving it a dreadful rap.It looked the handiest formula they’d be pleased it’s miles if it became as soon as smothered in butter and cheese. I made up our minds to reinvent it and develop it flavorful without relying on butter and cheese. So right here is how this recipe became as soon as born and the very enough component about this recipe is it will seemingly be a canvas for you to plan on. It’s so flavorful as is, however you are going to high it with fried eggs, crispy bacon, sausage or cheese or all of these combined! —vegetarianirvana
