Bacon-Cheddar Grits - Plus A Variation
Recipe: #28966
January 31, 2018
"Found at realsimpledotcom, 1 of my favorite recipe sources. I may have lived in Dallas & moved to Iceland nearly 15 yrs ago, but I'm still a southern girl at heart. It wasn't until I saw the movie MY COUSIN VINNY that I realized not everyone knew what "a grit" was. I'm proud to say that at least some of the people in Iceland do now --- Because I taught them after I found a traveling supply source. I added garlic to the ingredient list & made it optional, btw. Another variation would be to replace the bacon w/shrimp. That's favored more on the US East Coast. I'd use garlic in both recipes & even a bit of Old Bay in the shrimp variation. Feel free to "make it your own" & ENJOY!"
