Grits with cheddar cheese and bacon, along with artichoke hearts and other seasonings.
Ingredients:
* 8 slices of bacon
* 3 cups chicken broth
* 1 cup water
* 1 cup quick grits
* 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
* 2 tablespoons sour cream
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less, to taste)
* 1 can (14 to 16 ounces) artichoke hearts, chopped, or use frozen cooked artichoke hearts
* 2 eggs, well beaten
Preparation:
Heat oven to 350° F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, fry bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels; crumble.
In a large saucepan, combine broth and water. Bring to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Remove grits from heat. Add the bacon and remaining ingredients; stir well. Pour into the baking dish. Bake at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until set.
Serves 8.

I am from south Alabama (we eat alotta grits) and I put cheese, salt and pepper. Some people put butter salt and pepper. Just depends on what you like.
it's just itty-bitty chunks of corn...roll hot dogs in it and make corn dogs.
A lot of people add cheese to it. Some people just add salt and pepper. Check out www.allrecipes.com to see if any recipes entice you.
