  1. These are amazing. Followed the recipe as stated expect that I subsituted Hatch green chilies for the poblanos. Really creamy and full of flavor. The portion was way to big for me but my husband had no problem finishing his! Thanks for another great way to enjoy grits! Made for PRMR.
     
  2. Very creamy and cheesy. We enjoyed this for breakfast with a fried egg on top. I used only a sharp cheddar cheese. The Cajun seasoning is a must. The recipe makes closer to 4 servings than the 2 indicated. This is something I will make again. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. These are deliciously creamy! I loved the taste of the roasted poblanos in the grits. Using quick-cooking grits made this a fast and easy breakfast side this morning. Of course, I think it would be good served at lunch or dinner too. Made for PRMR.
