Sometimes a gimmick works. Even better than you’d imagine.
I wanted to make grits. Which might sound like no big deal, but, let’s just say, grits were met with a little bit of resistance.
I needed a plan. I needed a gimmick. I needed to call them Grits California and make them taste like crunchy-topped mac n’ cheese. Yeah, I know. Grits with training wheels.
Watch Grits California and tell me they aren’t the gateway to grit loving!

Looks delicious. A real american food.
As with most salty mashed foods, I would add some nutmeg but that is probably inherited from my familys taste.
I have never tried grits but I like polenta which seems to share some traits with it, so I think I should give it a try.
Thank you! I can see the nutmeg, Jan :) That might be pushing my luck with the grits-novices around here! LOL Grits are similar to polenta – let me know if you give it a try! Thanks for dropping by!
Skip the butter in the cooking water. Make grits. Pour in greased loaf pan. Put in fridge over night.
Next day, de-pan, slice into 3/4 inch slices, dip in egg and coat with Panko.
Fry in skillet. Put nice runny fried eggs on top. Enjoy.
Thank me later.
Thank you Mike.
I already used a similar technique with my polenta but I have never coated it in anything before.
I tried that today and it was really delicious even though I decided to trade in the runny egg for two stips of bacon. ^^
Sounds yummy! I do something similar with a small can of nacho cheese sauce whisked into the cooked grits. Pour into a greased casserole dish, crumble some nacho chips on top and add some jack/cheddar blend and flash under the broiler.
Mmm. Sounds good, Dana. If I could give those a silly name (as I clearly like to do!) I’d call those Ballpark Grits. Grits are such a clean slate… thanks for your comment :D
