1
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood-smoked bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels, then crumble into pieces.
2
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the stone ground grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.
3
Add Cream and Cheese
Once the grits are cooked, stir in the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring until smooth.
4
Plate the Dish
Spoon the creamy grits onto plates or into bowls. Top with crumbled bacon, diced tomato, and chopped chives for garnish.
