Cheese Grits

[reelapeelin]

One other thing about GRITS...nothin' worse than LUMPY grits(other than no grits at all)...they'll lump-up on ya when ya first pour them into boiling water, so that's when ya gotta be careful...here's a KEY: use a SLOTTED spoon to pour them thru and follow that up with LOTS of stirring; bustin' those clumps up against the side of the pot if you get any...but use a slotted spoon to make those grits for fewer lumps...and if grits drop thru the slots after ya make 'em...they're TOO thin ...

Add some shrimp, peppers, bacon and have Cheesey Shrimp and Grits very big in the South.

Oh man, those sound good. I am not sure I saw peppers in the recipe you posted, but they would be the bomb. Some yellow peppers, some red or orange, and maybe even a jalapeno or two to kick it up a notch. The cheesy/shrimpy grits with a nice piece of bread and a salad would make a great, quick and relatively cheap meal.

I like mine how you just described Reel, however I say the lumpy is better than too thin and watery all day long.

Also try some sliced jalapenos mixed in....Yum!!
