Delicious Cheese Grits

Ranked #11,400 in Food & Cooking, #202,471 overall

I say YEAH for grits, this morning!

Cheese grits are the perfect way to kick start a morning with a delicious, warming cereal breakfast. Add some toast and sausage and you are sure to arrive at kindergarten, school, or work full of energy and ready to go until lunch or beyond. This southern delicacy is the best hot cereal meal.

Getting it done for breakfast southern style

Things you'll need:
5 slices of cheese
3 Quart copper bottom boiler/saucepan
Salt
Stirring spoon
Jim Dandy Instant grits
Optional items Sausage or toast

Bring 5 cups of water to a brisk boil in the sauce pan with a teaspoon of salt.

Turn down heat and stir in smoothly 1-1/2 cups of grits. This is a critical step to be smooth in the stirring in. Ninety five percent of all lumpy grits happens at this point. Don't let it happen to you!

Turn up heat slightly to a slow boil and set timer for 7 minutes for cooking.

After 7 minutes,reduce heat and add 5 slices of good sliced cheese one slice at a time. Fold hot grits over each slice as added and continue until all are in the sauce pan. Slowly fold grits until all cheese is evenly distributed throught out the pan.

Allow the Cheese grits to sit for about 2 minutes before placing in the serving dish. Optional toast and bacon or sausage can be added at this point. Bon Apetite!

    When cooked right grits are great, the sausage and toast just compliment them. I never tried the cheese, but will real soon; thanks.

    I only had grits once in my life...in a diner in New Mexico when I was stationed there many years ago. It just sort of laid there on the plate next to the ham and eggs looking up at me. Maybe if it'd had the personality of the grits you describe here, it wouldn't have been my one and only helping of grits!

    Sorry to hear you have had a void only grits can fill and it remain to this day. Try them ttry them and you'll see, loving grits comes naturally! Thanks for stopping in the COUNTRYLUTHIER's diner where the lenses and the grits are always hot and fresh.

    I've never eaten grits before I think I need to see what all the fuss is about the recipe looks simple enough. I love cheese so mixing anything with it I'm sure to like. Nice lens.

    Cheese grits with scrambled eggs, bacon and biscuits. Now that's breakfast.

    I have to say I've never tried cheese in my grits -- I like them with a pat of butter, and a wee bit of maple syrup. Oh, and I could never give up my Cream of Wheat either!
  • COUNTRYLUTHIER Jan 25, 2012 @ 11:49 pm | delete
    Try them try them and you'll see, cream of wheat will be a distant memory!Thanks for your visit!

    have had variations on cheese grits a few times at restaurants and have to agree that they are really tasty! I love shrimp & grits, too!

    i will try your recipe and thank you for sharing it with us.

    I was raised in Alabama and Arkansas, so grits was a staple in my house. Creamy grits are so much better than the awful lumpy grits, and creamy cheese grits are so yummy. I just noticed I wrote grits 4 times, well, 5 time now. Great, now I want some grits, but all I have is oatmeal. (6 times)

    Anything with cheese is usually More Amazing! :D

    You have my vote! ;)

    If I can get them, I will order cheese grits over plain grits every time. Just say CHEESE!
  • Tipi Dec 29, 2011 @ 9:24 pm | delete
    I've never had grits but do seem to like anything with cheese! I wonder if you know about the recipe module that we have available, its super easy to use and aloows your readers to have a printable version of your recipes, if you want to use it.
  • COUNTRYLUTHIER Jan 2, 2012 @ 10:46 pm | delete
    No I am not familiar with the recipe module, but you can bet your copper bottom boiler, I will find out. Thanks for the suggestion. May all your 2012 grits be the cheeziest! CL
