Cream Cheese Brunch Grits

  
 Can I get an Amen??

Raise you hand if you LOVE grits!! 

If you're not raising your hand--what's wrong with you???

I think I could live on grits every morning!

My theory is, if you do not LOVE grits, 

you have not had them fixed for you properly--

you know--plenty of butter, salt, pepper--

you know, PROPERLY--

like we do it in the South--

thank you very much!

Now, they've become so popular here, 

I've seen Grits Bars at wedding receptions with toppings galore, 
we fry them (of course!), 

we add shrimp and create wonderful 

brunch dishes for our guests...

the possibilities are endless!  

Today I want to share a sinfully delicious recipe for the 

Brunch Grits we had at our Pajama Brunch 

the other night in a previous post.  

These were to die for!

Brunch Grits

2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
1 cup  grits (We used Jim Dandy Quick Grits--whatever you use, just cook the grits according to directions on package)

 4 oz cream cheese
1/2 stick of butter
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 The ingredients:

Add the milk and cream to your saucepan...

Look at it--just sitting there--waiting for those grits!

When it starts to simmer, add the grits and keep 
stirring, stirring, stirring...
you don't want lumpy grits!

Cooking time will depend on what your 
package of grits recommends...

Stirring...Stirring, Stirring..
This is when you get someone else to stir--
like the handsome mechanic--
because YOU have to take pictures--
not because you're tired of stirring--
just saying....

Don't they look lovely! 

Next add the cream cheese and butter...a dynamic duo! 

Salt and pepper them to taste and enjoy!  

We served them along with our homemade biscuits and Conecuh Sausage! 

(oh, and the Tomato Gravy--it did not make this picture!)
