Grits, like all other foods, just needs to be prepared and served properly. Grits were made to go beside over easy eggs and bacon. Try preparing a large batch in advance, enough to fill your banana bread loaf pan. Salt and pepper to taste then cover and refrigerate. Tomorrow morning, get your bacon going in the skillet, you need that grease for your new best breakfast item. Get your grits out of the fridge and slice off a 1" thick end slice. Ease it out of the pan, keeping it as whole as possible, and fry it in the bacon grease. Don't fiddle with it, just watch he edges while cooking it slowly until it browns, then flip it and brown the other side. About now is a good time to start those over easy eggs so it all comes out together. The now crispy and tasty grits will fit right in with the egg yoke. Enjoy!

Like it with fried eggs over easy.

I love em. Great with salt, pepper and butter, or butter and sugar. Great fried too. Though not many folks know how to fry them.

Add sausage gravy to those biscuits and you have the perfect breakfast.

No one should put ketchup on their steak.

I was kidding.

Fried grits is the best version. Cook your grits when cooked stir in some crumbled sausage, some chopped onions that have been sautéed, shredded cheese, plenty of pepper and salt to taste. Then spread that mixture on a sheet pan about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Cool in a fridge overnight. Cut into about 2" squares, then dip in an egg wash, flour mix and fry them to a golden brown.

Serve like small pancakes with lots of butter and molasses. Or serve with some good sausage gravy.

I bet you could freeze a bunch of those and they'd be just as good as fresh.

You can freeze them until you are ready to fry them, after they are fried, they are best eaten as soon as possible.

Okay, but I'm going to keep my eye on you just in case.

Some of y'all must be from New York City.

Grits are great!!!!

I don't make them at home, but if I get them in a diner, I usually eat them with 3 or 4 butter pads and 5 or 6 packets of sugar. Without something else, Grits are just tasteless baby food.

I forgot one of my favorites - grits with liver & onions.

My local diner makes awesome grits... Big bowl of grits with over easy egg yolks, and Cholula hot sauce.. MMM HMMMM..

Cracker Barrel here in our little town should just take grits off their menu.. they look like a little bowl of congealed white jello.. And taste about the same

The best grits I've ever had were horrible.......

Andouille sausage and cheesy grits.

It's hilarious when people say they HATE grits then will eat polenta with their Italian dinner.

Get some REAL stone ground grits, cook according to the directions. Season with salt and pepper. FYI, I always put my over easy eggs ON top of my grits.

Grits make me think of my grandma and those great breakfasts way back when... dang dust.

My breakfast and memaw memory is biscuits and gravy (I called it dip) course her biscuits did not come from a can.

Real men have grits ... For their hogs

Polenta.....who the heck eats that stuff?

I was just talking to the SiL, and grits got mentioned. He said he liked grits and shrimp. I asked what grits added to the eating experience, and he said “Uhhhh....i don’t know. Maybe i don’t need the grits in it”.

You guys are adding stuff to the grits to give it flavor. The grits are just an ‘extender’ for volume. Kind of like Tofu.

Do you eat the shrimp without adding any seasonings? Or what about a smoked brisket, do you smoke it without any seasoning? Most people add something to everything. Besides, grits is just corn that has been processed, it's a vegetable. You could substitute a potato, but that would still be just an extender for volume. Kind of like tofu...

I’m more of a cream of wheat kinda guy... throw in butter, a couple spoonfuls of sugar and a little milk. Used to love it as a kid

Polenta croutons are awesome!

You can lead a horse to water....

Kiss my grits
