I'm so proud...I printed your recipe and my husband made these for my birthday tonight along with grilled tri-tip and roasted asparagus. He did a great job for someone who cooks (in an oven) about 3 times a year. I had to post a photo of it as well. They turned out so cheesy and yummy!! Everyone should try cheese grits sometime in their life. :-) -
I felt like this was too much cheese for my taste, so I cut the cheese amount in half. I also added 8 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon. Very tasty! -
Great!! I added a little garlic powder. They were yummy! Easy and good consistency -
Came out really nice, but too salty for me. I think I will make again without the added salt.

I am married to a great guy and have three children. Two are in college and one is in high school. Besides cooking Zaar recipes, I love to read suspense novels and days at the beach (they go hand in hand in my opinion!). Recently we discovered a beach on the Atlantic that allows dogs, so we have been enjoying taking our two dogs for a romp in the waves.
I am totally addicted to 'Zaar and love all of the wonderful recipes I have found and made. Recently I have been low carbing it. I have found many of these wonderful recipes on 'Zaar that my family has really enjoyed - phew!
