One of my mom’s signature dishes. Even those who insisted that they did not like grits would quickly change their minds after one bite!

Tips
Savor Salt
I haven’t found savor salt in years, so we just mix savory with season salt.
Old English Sharp Cheddar
Impossible to find, except in deli slices. If you can’t find those, a good quality American cheese will do.
Grits
Don’t buy instant or quick grits – you need the good ol’ fashioned kind.
Butter vs. Margarine
I always use butter, mom was from the margarine generation. Use whichever suits your style!
