Mom's recipe card
(I love her shorthand for "enough"!)
You know how to tell a Yankee down South? He’s the one at breakfast staring at the grits on his plate along side the bacon and eggs and trying not to gag. Grits is considered standard fare down South and you get it whether you order it or not. Northerners just don’t “get” grits. It goes together with breakfast like peanut butter goes with jelly or cookies go with milk.
That’s not the case with me though, I love grits and so does Bill. Grits reminds me of when we had a dinner party including many of Bill’s co-workers, shortly after moving here. I served ham and some kind of potatoes along with the usual stuff and proudly set a casserole of cheese grits by the ham (they go together famously!) Then the ribbing started! I did not think a thing about serving grits; it was a common thing in Louisville . Most of the crowd at our party had never tasted grits, some wouldn’t try it but others did and were amazed ~ it was actually pretty good. Or else, maybe they were just being nice!
I can eat them with just a little butter and salt and pepper; however, there is a little more with this recipe. This is Mom’s recipe for Scrambled Grits. I have no idea where it came from; I even searched the internet and could not find a similar recipe. But, I remember her cooking this and I loved it. It’s very plain and simple, just another good “comfort food” dish!
Mom’s Scrambled Grits
Ingredients:
2½ cups cold, cooked grits
2 eggs, beaten
Bacon drippings
Method:
Place grits in medium bowl, break into pieces with fork.
Gently stir in eggs.
Melt enough bacon drippings to cover bottom of skillet.
Spread grits evenly in skillet.
Cook until brown on bottom.
Cook until consistency of scrambled eggs.
Place in a bowl and serve.
Pam’s note: I use stone-ground grits as it has more texture, a little more gritty and crunchy!
Yum! Yum! Just remember, a little bacon grease is a wonderful thing, especially with grits!
