Introduction

I made this in a crock pot, but you could do it on the stove too! It's a nice, easy, delicious breakfast to wake up to if you leave it in the pot overnight. Plus, it will make your house smell amazing, and give you incentive to get out of bed! I made this in a crock pot, but you could do it on the stove too!

Ingredients

    ~.75 cup plain grits
    ~2.5 cups water
    ~.5 cup skim milk
    ~2 chopped large celery stalks
    ~2 chopped medium scallions
    ~.25 cup chopped onion
    ~1 oz Pepper Jack Cheese
    ~4 strips turkey bacon
    ~.5 cup green bell pepper

Tips

Make sure that you leave some room at the top of your crock pot- this expands, and you don't want it all over your countertop or table. You want it in your mouth.


Directions

Place all ingredients in a crock pot (or pot).

Stir.

Let sit on a low heat for 6 hours, or as long as you are asleep. If you leave it on low, it will take at least 4, but you could probably let it be for up to 9.

Wake up to spicy breakfast!
