Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and a teaspoon of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain. Crumble the cooked bacon and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are soft and cooked to your liking.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Grit Bowl

    In a bowl, layer the creamy grits, scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, cooked sausage, and top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped scallions. Serve hot.
