Grits are one of the most popular Southern dishes, and the Jim Dandy Grits recipe is a classic. This dish is easy to make and is a delicious way to get your family to enjoy a traditional Southern meal.
Bring the water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.
Once boiling, add the Jim Dandy Quick Grits and stir for two minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add butter and salt (to taste) and stir until the butter is melted.
In a separate bowl, beat together eggs until light and fluffy.
Slowly add the egg mixture to the grits and stir until combined.
Turn off the heat and let sit for five minutes before serving.
Serve with freshly ground black pepper and additional butter, if desired.
Notes
– To make the grits extra creamy, you can add a few tablespoons of heavy cream or half-and-half at the end. – For a vegan version of the dish, use vegetable broth and omit the butter and Parmesan cheese. – To add some extra flavor, you can stir in some freshly chopped herbs such as parsley, basil, or chives at the end. – To add some spice, you can stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few teaspoons of your favorite hot sauce. – To make it a heartier meal, add cooked, crumbled sausage or bacon to the finished grits.
