1
Prepare the Grits
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
2
Add Butter and Cheese
Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy.
3
Incorporate Bacon
Fold in the chopped crispy bacon and season with black pepper to taste.
4
Serve
Spoon the belly up grits into bowls, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot.
