How do you cook them?
How do you cook them?
In a pot(or something similar).
Pour two envelopes of grits into microwave safe bowl. (cause I am hungry and one is not enough) Add a cup of water and microwave on high for 90 seconds. Throw in some "I can't believe its not butter" and stir.
Viola!

Stone Ground Geechie Boy or similar. Substitute 1/2 chicken broth and 1/2 half and half for water. Season with a little salt and pepper. Throw a little garlic and cheese in there and sometimes tomato. Cooking some tonight.
Varies, but never, ever do I cook "quick grits".
Yellow grits take time. My wife wants to try to make them in 30 minutes, she is wrong.

Tell my wife I want grits and to get in the kitchen and make me some.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Grits poets. Almost as sweet as cast iron and Turkey poets.
Yellow stone ground grits made to order by recipe on bag. Substitute heavy cream and chicken stock in equal parts for the liquid. Dash of hot sauce, salt, pepper and butter.
heavy whipping cream and half/half.
3 cups Heavy whipping cream, 3 cups whole milk, 1 cup stone ground grits, 1 stick butter, salt and pepper to taste
don't forget the sugah
Quality stone ground grits should be cooked low and slow, and for at least an hour. Water or water/broth, butter and often cream added later and allowed to "cook in". Salt and pepper to taste. Additions can vary, to include (but not limited to...) garlic, cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese.
I sometimes top mine with crumbled crispy bacon and maybe some fine chopped jalapenos, but usually served clean with whatever eggs, sausage and such is attendance. My "go to" combo is cheesy grits with over easy eggs and some variety of wild hog or deer sausage (hot or onion being favorites).

Yall have it all wrong with the cream and crap...that's something Martha Stewart would do.
I'm with Swamp...Good grits take time. You can season them how you want. I'm good with S & P and butter. Add garlic or cheese if you wish.
But to cook grits (stone ground)...
Bring water to a boil, add 1/4 tsp of baking soda (not powder)...soda. Stir in grits. Move to a double boiler. Let simmer/cook in double boiler stirring occasionally until done (30 minutes to an hour depending on how much). To cook grits that long the double boiler is a must or you will have a stuck pile girt cakes if you don't. The baking soda is the trick. You can make the grits soft and fluffy with that without having to use cream or half and half. Add salt and pepper to taste and whatever else that floats your boat, butter and cheese. Serve piping hot.
Your welcome.

Its deer season for gods sake. Why are there two "grits" threads?
Call Tater and tell him to have me some grits ready when i get home. What goes on between that phone call and the dinner bell is beyond me... Probably should figure that out tho.
