I love cheese grits. I put garlic in ours. I didn't realize you Canadian's ate a southern favorite like grits!!LOL My favorite comfort food (today anyway) is soup. Especially this one a neighbor gave me many years ago. I thought potato soup was yucky until I tasted this.

POTATO CHOWDER

Potatoes, about 5 lbs.
Bacon, 10-12 slices
Onion, 1 medium
Velvetta cheese, 1 lb., diced up
Butter, 1/2 stick
Parsley (I use dried)
Evaporated milk, 12 oz. can

Fill a 6 quart (or any large size) pot 3/4 full of peeled, diced potatoes. Cover with water and cook until tender. Dice bacon and saute until crisp. Remove from skillet and add diced onion; cook til soft. When potatoes are cooked, drain enough water off so the liquid barely covers them. Add bacon, onion and some of the bacon grease, cheese and butter. Stir until cheese melts. Add parsley. Allow to cool before adding evaporated milk. Reheat when ready to serve.

Now I have to ask how you eat the cheese grits? Are they a side dish by themselves, anything put over them, etc. I like hot grits as a cereal, putting butter, salt and pepper on it.

It's definitely a sidedish, however, when left to my own devices, I'll make up a batch and sit and eat it all by myself. We can't buy grits in Canada, so when I go to Virginia every year, I stock up. I also love garlic in mine. It was introduced to me while there visiting my Aunt. We were all invited to a pig roast, and one of the neighbours brought Garlic Cheese Grits. I just loved them, so she sent me her recipe. The only thing I do different is chop some onion into it, on account of you can never have too many onions. LOL!

Mostly a side dish for breakfast with eggs, sausage and biscuits. Always good with pork for a dinner side dish and great to take to a fish fry. Just remember to SALT the water you cook the grits in or they will never taste right.

If we're having them for breakfast, we don't add anything to them except the cheese and sometimes garlic. Don't bake them, either. Just serve hot.

You can make them like Laurel does and add sauteed sausage, onion and green pepper for an all-in-one casserole.
