How do you cook grits?
There really isn't much, if any, difference in the taste of slow cook and quick cook grits. Slow cook takes 20 minutes of boiling to cook, while quick cook only takes 5 minutes. Personally, I always buy the quick cook but if you want the old timey traditional experience try the slow cook. Grits have a very "corny" taste, sort of like corn chips, which doesn't go well with sweet toppings. Grits are meant to be served as a savory hot dish. You can top them with butter or add in other things like bacon or cheese. Here is the basic recipe for a single serving of quick cook grits: 1 cup water 1/4 cup grits dash of salt Bring water to a boil and add grits and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 2 minutes before. Serve in a bowl with a pat of butter on top. For cheese grits, add 1/4 cup of grated cheese (cheddar or your favorite type). For bacon grits, crumble 2 slices of cooked bacon into the bowl and stir. Other tasty additions are ham and scrambled eggs. Remember, in the South grits aren't just for breakfast. Cheese grits are often served as a side dish for dinner. Enjoy
The original question is:How do you make instant grits?Answer:Pour a slightly rounded 1/4-cup of Old-Fashioned grits (not Quick grits) into a small bowl. Add 2/3-cup of water. Put the bowl in a microwave and heat on high for 2 minutes and 20 seconds, or until the mixture starts to mound (boil) up. Immediately take the bowl out and pour in milk (not too much or you'll cool it down; not too little or it might be too thick). Add sugar to taste. Stir with a spoon and smooth out any lumps. Enjoy!

How do you cook eggs grits and bacon ?
instant grits are the easiest grits, just add them to boiling water, there are directions on the box and it costs about 1.00 for a box with a dozen servings. cook for recommended time and when they are done, add salt and butter, and cheese if youd like. for the bacon, just put individual strips into a pan and cook on med-high heat until it is mostly not transparent, leave some of the bacon grease in the pan on med -high heat after you take the bacon out and put it on paper towels to drain off extra fat. crack a couple eggs right into the pan, and after about a minute turn down the heat to low and cover. cook for about 5 minutes. put all on a plate, and voila- you have your eggs, grits, and bacon. personally, i tear everything into tiny pieces and mix it all up together.
How do i make grits?
Here are two of the easiest ways. 1. In a deep m/w safe bowl, measure grits and water according to the directions on the package. Cover with a napkin, and microwave -- couple minutes should do. Let sit for a few minutes. After doing this a few times, you'll get the hang of it and even adjust amounts of water/grits according to your tastes. 2. In a sauce pan heat up some water (eye ball it -- a cup or two) to a boil. Add a pinch of salt (not before this point). Turn heat down till the water simmers, and slowly add in a few grits stirring continuously (use a whisk for stirring). Gradually add a few more grits, and keep stirring. If the grits get "too" thick, add a bit of hot water to thin out. Remember: a FEW grits go a LONG way. Also, be careful with the salt during cooking, for you can always add more after dishing grits onto your plate. I enjoy REAL butter on my grits. Keep the salt note in mind when using salted butter. Save the left over grits. Place in a foil lined and lightly sprayed baking pan. Spread out evenly. Throw on some slice up sausage (bacon bits, scrambled eggs, etc) and top with cheese (you favorite kind). Bake in the oven at 375 till the cheese is melted and to your liking.
