Tips, Notes, and Variations:

• If you don’t like sweeter grits, leave out sugar. If you do like them sweeter, try different natural sweeteners (i.e. honey, maple syrup, fruit jelly, etc).
• Grits can also be flavored with cheese, sunny side up egg, small bits of ham or sausage or just topped with a pat of butter and salt to taste.
