Love that movie but it’s the worst line in cinematic history.

Take your instant grits to the next level, add some cream cheese or hogshead cheese.

My toddler loves grits unfortunately, so I make them just about every morning. Stovetop grits only take about 5 min and I can get crazy with it and melt all kinds of cheese in there.

Nothing wrong with instant grits though, but I can’t justify the cost vs time even if it’s just a few bucks.

They have a place, but it is usually on a kids plate. It doesn't take that long to cook proper grits, if you have about 15-20 minutes. Every Saturday morning I make cheese grits and eggs. My youngest is 5 and always eats them with me. The others are about 50/50 if they want either, but he always does. This past Saturday he even asked me if we had time to cook grits. He will ask for them during the week sometimes and I have to tell him we don't have time since he's getting ready for school. But he knows we have them on Saturday and looks forward to it.

I made an osso buco the other week and initially served it with fancy stone ground grits that take 30 minutes to cook. They were very good and well-received. The next day, we had leftovers and I made quick grits. In both I added some Better than Bullion and cheese. Both were well-received.

I think I may have even liked the quick grits better. I will make more of the fancy stone ground grits because I need to use up the bag, but I don't think I will buy more. The Lakeside Yellow Quick Grits suit me just fine.

I love grits, plus they're nice and filling.

I only do butter, salt, and a good amount of black pepper on mine. I never do cheese for some reason. I need to do that next time.

This.

It doesn't take too long. I don't eat them but I'll make them for my wife. Find the extra time but getting up 5 minutes earlier to make them.

No instant grits in my house. I don't usually eat breakfast except on weekends when the wife doesn't have to rush out for work.

I'll either cook a small pot of real grits or make some homemade hash browns for us to have with some bacon, eggs and toast.

Sometimes I'll mix it up a bit and do shrimp and cheese grits----but never instant grits.

Hog head cheese is awesome in grits. Put it in while it is hot and it melts into it.

I need to cook more "regular" grits. I almost always end up baking mine with cheese, garlic and eggs mixed in so that they're more "cakelike" like a garlic cheese polenta than traditional grits. But that's because I'm usually making them for a potluck, and they serve more easily that way.

Instant grits suck, but the 5 minute grits work well.

5 minute grits are too grainy. You have to cook them down for an hour and get them creamy. I reserve making grits only on the weekends for this reason. It’s the only correct way to eat them
