Normally, 1 cup grits, 4 cups water, salt and simmer for 20 minutes.
Use real grits, not the instant or quick crap.
Mine
1 cup grits
2 cups water
2 cups heavy cream
2 sticks butter (1/2#)
1/2 # very crispy bacon broken down into very small crumbs
1 tsp. salt
Bring water, heavy cream, & butter to boil - wait for butter to melt.
Whisk in grits
Bring back to a boil
Reduce to simmer
Stir every 3-5 minutes
When grits are done (20 minutes), add bacon bits and stir.
Ready to eat
Can also do shrimp & grits by pan frying 1 1/2# shrimp - season with a little Creole seasoning.
This grits recipe is also great for grillades and grits (except I don't put the bacon for grillades recipe)
This is so good you have to lay down to eat it - but has a tad of fat and calories.
