I've used this recipe for over 40 years but it's always been one I'd make a huge batch of to take to pot luck dinners. This is the scaled down, lower calorie version of the traditional recipe. It makes four generous servings at 4 Smart Points per serving.
The original recipe includes butter and more cheese. You'll never miss either ingredient! This is a hearty side dish that goes well with any type of meat main dish.

I have never tasted this recipe. What do you serve this recipe with? I eat white grits for breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and orange juice.
Hi, What do you serve this recipe with when you make it?
I use it as a side dish when we cook out. My family asks for me to bring this to family dinners. It's good hot out of the oven or even cold. Sometimes I have the leftovers for breakfast! But, I like spicy foods.
The only time I've ever had white grits on my plate was in Alabama. They came with the breakfast I ordered. One bite and I was through with them and have never tried them that way again. lol!
