Breakfast Bowl Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of grits and 1 tsp of salt. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Once cooked, stir in 1 tbsp of butter and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon or sausage until crispy and browned. Remove from the pan and let drain on paper towels. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Cook the Eggs

    In the same skillet, scramble the eggs to your desired doneness. Season with black pepper and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Breakfast Bowl

    In a bowl, layer the cooked grits, scrambled eggs, chopped meat, and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Add additional butter if desired.
