My kids love grits, buttered grits, cheesy grits, and especially bacon grits! This is a super simple way to prepare them when you are short on time. My kids usually eat these served over their scrambled eggs with some jelly toast on the side.

Ingredients:

• 2 c. grits, prepared according to package
• 4 T butter or margarine
• salt and pepper to taste
• 8-10 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Add the butter to the prepared grits and stir until completely melted. Season to taste. Save a few bacon crumbles for sprinkling on top and stir the rest into the grits. Serve.

For cheese grits:

• 2 c. grits, prepared according to package
• 4 T butter or margarine
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 T. garlic powder, more or less depending on your taste
• 1 c. cheese, sliced, shredded, cubed or whatever you have on hand

Add the butter to the prepared grits and stir until completely melted. Season to taste.Add garlic powder and cheese. Stir until melted. Serve.
