This sure sounds good. I've got a hubby who LOVES grits, and this would sure tickle his fancy as well as mine.

Do you mean two cups dried grits, or two cups grits after they're cooked? I think I'll try this this morning since it's my hubby's birthday. He will sure be pleased!

Maybe sprinkle a little "sharp" cheese on top. Yuummm! (Unless, of course, you're watching your cholesterol...but with that bacon & ham & butter, what's a few more grams cholesterol!)
