Easy Grits from Scratch (the BEST grits!!)

You’re not going to believe how easy it is to make grits from scratch! These ultra creamy grits come together with only 3 ingredients and will ROCK YOUR WORLD.

These easy grits from scratch are one of my favorite comfort foods EVER! This technique results in the most luscious, creamy texture without the need for any cream or for loads of butter. You can serve the grits as the base for meats or vegetables (I love them with my Coconut Sriracha Shrimp and Kale, which is like a healthy twist on shrimp and grits - recipe link below!), or as a side dish to a traditional Southern breakfast.

I am Colombian and my husband loves grits. I had no idea how to make them. I did your recipe and he told me that were the best grits he had. Thank you so much !

Last time I had grits was like 9 months ago. It was on a breakfast tray in jail, and believe it or not it was AMAZING. They looked just like this. I've been craving them. Thanks for the recipe:)

This is THE BEST grits recipe I have ever found. I buy my ground grits from the south mailed to me and then the 2 times a year I have the desire I have to hunt down this woman and find this video because it’s the only fun way to cook the grits and they always turn out in freaking sane! I could live off of this daily it’s so good but I did.

I'm in New Zealand and we never saw anything like this here til the Italian cooking craze hit a few years back and polenta "came in". You still only rarely see it mentioned or on menus here. I learned about this from the Little House books, and I love your recipe! Thank you! 😊

I'm from Ghana. We have grits, but we don't call them grits. It's eaten as a breakfast with sugar and evaporated milk and cooked slightly different. It's amazing to see it in another culture.

THAT was fantastic. I added some frozen corn kernels but, holy cow - my neighbors at my BBQ were mad I had not made this before.
Thanks!

I do a soup with the same corn you used. I put 1 table spoon of concentrated tomato + one spoon of paprika + olive oil + minced garlic + salt + coriander + water. When cooked I add water once boiled I add medium coarse corn. At the last minute I add a small cup of capers. When I serve, I add some fresh olive oil and chunks of tuna on top of the soup. Delicious. The soup should be liquid and not thick at all.

Thanks for the information! I'm Canadian and have heard of grits all my life on movies and TV but it only just starting to be sold here and I haven't known how to prepare it. I will have to substitute for the dairy, but thanks for the measurements as I had nothing in my Canadian cookbooks and my older American cookbooks assume that everyone knows how
Cheers!👍😃

First time and last time I had grits was when I was in the army. I bought some today.

[ranalilly]

Thank you! I’ve had grits once and I really liked it so have tried to make it a few times but it just did not come out right. This time it was perfect!💕

[bayestraat]

I’ve had grits only once in my entire life despite having lived in the states for a good half a decade. I still remember the place, Big Daddy’s in suburban Augusta GA. If theres anything that reminds me of the southerners and their unparalleled, welcoming hospitality, its going to be the grits.

This looks so delicious
I’m from Australia and iv never had it before but iv heard Americans talk about it
And I’m going to make it if I can find the ingredients 😄

What a fun, easy and informative video. ❤ I live in Australia so we don't really eat grits. But I remember it from a movie (My Cousin Vinny) and always wondered what they were and how to eat them. Thanks so much for this they look amazing.... I'm subscribed and I'm gonna eat grits. 👍

I loved it! Your video inspired me to prepare tomorrow morning

[RealBigBadJohn]

I use equal parts white and yellow grits, both stone ground.

[SameerShaikh-unuu]

I'm here after movie" my cousin Vinny"" never heard grit in India..but will try if I cud arrange corn powder here

Grits are amazing! They aren't too common in the northern USA so we only have small packages of like 12 single serving packets for around $4. I buy the bulk 5 lbs bag for like $3.18 online from Walmart.
