Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the grits and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and cover, cooking for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Tasso Ham

    While the grits are cooking, chop the tasso ham into small pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, add the tasso ham and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the grits are done, stir in the cooked tasso ham, butter, cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the cheesy tasso grits into bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
