Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool, then crumble into pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Prepare Toppings

    Chop the green onions and dice the tomato.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Spoon the cheesy grits into serving bowls. Top with crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and diced tomatoes. Serve warm.
