Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the Bacon

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain, then crumble it into pieces.

2

Prepare the Grits

In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the grits and salt. Reduce the heat to low and cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

3

Add Cheese and Butter

Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter and sharp cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Season with black pepper to taste.

4

Combine Ingredients

Fold in the crumbled bacon, and reserve some for garnish if desired. Mix well until the bacon is evenly distributed.

5

Serve

Serve the bacon cheddar grits hot, garnished with chopped green onions and any reserved bacon.
