How to Make Hot Tomato Grits
- Cook chopped bacon in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan.
- Add 2 cups of water to the pan with bacon grease. Bring to a boil.
- Gradually whisk in grits. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, salt, crushed tomatoes, and chilies. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are creamy and the flavors have melded.
- Stir in the shredded cheese and reserved crispy bacon. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
