These were excellent! Cheesy and full of flavor. Perfect side for any grilled meat and of course for brunch!

A recipe that transforms cheese grits from that of Clark Kent to Superman with command of quantum physics. In other words just when you think you're likin' it, you find yourself lovin' it even more.
