The Rotel tomatoes were too over-powering for the grits. I think the recipe would be better without the tomatoes and just a bit of Cajun seasoning would give it the pop of spicy flavor that it needs.

This is very tasty, I cut the recipe in half for the 2 of us, didn't use the green peppers, personal preference and made it as stated. DH thought it was a little to spicy. This would also be good with a little cheddar cheese added to it. Thank you so much for posting the recipe.
