Grits

Burnt Ends

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

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

  2. 2

    Add Butter and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Keep warm.

Prepare the Burnt Ends

  1. 3

    Prepare the Burnt Ends

    In a bowl, mix the cubed brisket with BBQ sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well coated. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet.

  2. 4

    Bake the Burnt Ends

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the burnt ends for about 30-40 minutes, or until caramelized and crispy.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 5

    Build Your Grit Bowl

    In a serving bowl, layer the cheesy grits at the bottom. Top with the burnt ends, and then sprinkle with sliced green onions and crispy fried onions for garnish.
