delicious grits breakfast bowl
My mom always makes this in the dead of winter. It fills you up for the whole day, and with everything in it, even every bite of grits has flavor.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Breakfast bowls are easy and hearty for a cold morning. This twist uses grits instead of hash browns as a base and makes for a delicious meal. The creamy grits with the savory bacon, runny egg, and cheese create a wonderful bite. Serve alone or with buttered toast or a biscuit for dipping.

How To Make delicious grits breakfast bowl
Test Kitchen Tips
We used about 1 Tbsp of shredded cheese per bowl.
-
Step 1Cook bacon strips to your preferred doneness. Pat off excess grease and set aside. Dispose of most of the grease from the pan that the bacon was cooked in.
-
Step 2Saute the red onion slices in the leftover bacon grease and set aside.
-
Step 3Using the same pan (add butter/oil if there is not enough bacon grease left), cook the two eggs over-easy.
-
Step 4While the eggs are cooking, place the contents of each package of grits into two separate microwave-safe bowls. Follow directions for cooking the grits.
-
Step 5Sprinkle the grits with cheese.
-
Step 6Place the over-easy egg on top of the cheese and grits.
-
Step 7Top with three strips of bacon (cut if desired).
-
Step 8Top with the cooked onions.
