Aww, grits remind me of my Aunt :) Good old Southern food. I've never made them myself though. Yours looks scrumptious. And so does that apple butter bbq sauce!

Yup - I'm one of those northern girls who doesn't understand the thrill of grits! But you're right that I've probably only had the inferior version, rather than the real thing. And who could go wrong adding cheese??? I trust your recommendation, and will have to give 'em another try ....

Oh my gosh, I should not read your blog in the morning...now I want this for breakfast!

I never ate grits growing up, but I fell in love with them years ago when I made a recipe with Chipotle Maple Glazed pork chops with Smoked Gouda grits. It was a meal to die for, and make me a grits lover! This looks amazing, Chris.

Yep, no directions on my bag of stone-ground grits either. Never realized that before :)

I hereby knight you as my grit-cooking-teacher/Southern grandmother. I have the ultimate faith that you'll be able to lead me to grit heaven. I mean...just look at those!

"Mel, kiss my grits"! Does that age me that I know that quote? Oh well.

I've never had grits but I am certain I would dig them. The pork looks tasty and perfectly cooked as usual.

I only had grits once but eat polenta all the time! Cheesy polenta is heaven so I'm thinking these are much the same. That is one mouth-watering plate of food!

i don't think i've ever had grits, but i've had polenta, similar? either way this looks like a fine tastin' dish.

Cheese grits and pork are a marriage made in heaven for this southern girl. I'm with Bo on the quick grits. I don't think they're bad and easier for some folks to find that don't live where we do, but never, never, never eat the instant ones. They are definitely glue.

I'm still smiling at yours and Katherine's comment about no directions. So true.

Chris, I have a brisket to cook tomorrow and I was trying to figure out some sides but grits and biscuits with beans sounds mighty good to me!!
Thanks..

OMG...I love love love MAST general Store.
There is nothing better than real grits. I get mine from Nora Mill Granary in Helen Georgia...they are the best REAL GRITS

I had my grits at Cracker Barrel and wasn't impressed but these.....YUM! they look good. I wonder if they sell grits in a bag in Burbank

2012-01-10T18:44:42.695-05:00

Real, cheesy grits are great. This means two things: that they are real, and when you think that you have enough cheese in there...add more. Cheesy grits go great with very spicy grilled shrimp!!!

2012-01-10T15:49:25.778-05:00

This looks so good...I'm going to have to look out for that bbq sauce...I hate instant, but I think quick grits are ok...I think the key is to cook them longer than the package says.

2012-01-10T15:37:53.407-05:00

I have some real grits that I bought when I was in TN. Must make some. I love 'em. And I love pork tenderloin. Good match.

2012-01-10T15:27:53.189-05:00

Yum, not missing the biscuit one bit. Gorgeous looking meal, Chris. I had to laugh about the grits with no directions. We bought some stone ground grits from Mingus Mill in the park with no directions. A.J. noticed when we got home and told me I bought defective grits. I told him once you've cooked on grit, you've cooked them all.

I'm a fan of grits and sure agree with you on the taste difference you mentioned. Nice looking dinner.
