Cheddar Cheesy Bacon Grits

Cheddar Cheesy Bacon Grits

This is my Sunday morning treat.  My wife hates grits.  More for me!

Ingredients

2 thick slices of bacon finely chopped
1/2 med. onion diced
1/2 bell pepper diced
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1 small chicken bouillon cube
1/2 cup grits (the real stuff, not instant)
2 cups water (the formula is 1 part grits to 4 parts water if you want to play with it)
1 tsp. black pepper
1  large handful of finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup milk

In a small pot, cook bacon until you have a thick layer of bacon grease in the bottom of the pot.  Add onions, bell pepper and garlic. Stir occasionally until onions and bell pepper are wilted.  Then add grits, water, bouillon  and black pepper.  Stir constantly to avoid sticking.  When mixture has thickened, add milk and cheeses.  Continue stirring until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy.
Serve and enjoy!
