Notes
- What goes well in grits? Grits are a Southern breakfast delicacy and there is no doubt that every one has an opinion on what should go into grits. This crockpot grits recipe is a basic recipe that is meant to be added to with additional flavors like cheddar or Gouda cheese, lots of pepper and salt, and more butter. Additionally chorizo, chunks of ham or shrimp go great in grits and this recipe provides enough grits to try several bowls and kinds.
