Used to fight forest fires... there was always a huge pot of grits or oatmeal on the AM chow line... learned to make bacon grits... butter/jalapeño/SP grits... BPJ oatmeal...
Grits and oatmeal is an unlimited staple...
IMHO there is just about nothing they don't mix well with.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I like grits with salt and black pepper. Grated sharp cheddar cheese tops grits nicely. When serving grits with county ham and eggs, red eye gravy is wonderful.

High quality grits are now a VERY popular base/side for many dishes in fine dining restaurants around the South; most around here use this local product: https://mcewenandsons.comHad these for breakfast this morning with a couple runny eggs. They were fantastic.

When I was a kid, it was just grits and butter.....then I moved to New Mexico.
Ever since, on top of a big bowl of grits and butter sits 3 sunny side up eggs, a large pile of diced hot Hatch green chili, with shredded colby-jack cheese, on top.
Find the biggest spoon in the drawer, and mix until its the same color and consistency.....eat/shovel with the same spoon.
Best comfort food there is....anytime of the day!

If you put enough butter or cheese in anything you can make it edible. Grits are no exception. +1

Never tried adding onions. Will have to..
Started off using instant grits as camp food. Figured out they provided better energy than oatmeal.. bacon bits and butter flakes were easy to pack too. Even dried cheese flakes..
Doctor with anything..
Use better quality stuff now.

I just made scrapple. Fried scrapple over cheese grits with a runny fried egg on top. Almost as good as shrimp and grits It is hard getting good ingredients.
I need some pigs heart and liver for some scrapple I want to make.

I first ate a grit at Jump school at Ft. Benning, it was then that I understood why the south lost the war. Fast forward >50 years and I had Pork Belly w/ cheese grits at Fleming's Steak House, if prepared properly they are OK but will never be a substitute for hash browns.
mike r OCS or Armor Officer Basic for dad down there....or maybe it was Jump School. He said grits were bad, and the south had no idea what a Hot Roast Beef sandwich was. When I was out West in 1992 Montana apparently still hadn't discovered submarine sandwiches, spiedies or BBQ'd chicken. I was worried I'd starve to death.

RJY 66 - " ... You won't believe it but liver pudding, another old time Southern delicacy is also crazy good with them. ..." You're right. I've always said that anyone who lives too far north to not like liver puddin' for brekfast just lives too damn far north!  L.W.

On a cold morning nothing like a bowl of grits w/ bacon and butter then top with a poached egg and stir.
