These grits were enjoyable, but came out way too salty for me. Even though they had alot of cheese in them they didn't taste cheesy, just very salty. Nevertheless, they weren't that bad and I will probably make them again with a few modifications.

My husband loved this. I added bacon and sausage and made a meal of it. Thanks for posting. This was very good.
