well i’m just a 14 year old in mississippi trying to learn how to cook for mii siblings while momma is away ! 😊❤️

That's how I make grits too! I learned to put milk in from my grandmother. She never never used cheese, but sometimes I'll throw a handful of grated cheddar in at the end for my son. Another thing I do is pour leftover grits into a small loaf pan and refrigerate. After they chill you can slice it like bread and fry it in a skillet or even grill it on a grill. So easy. Great video, thanks!

My husband told our kids that no matter what Army base he has been in (he has been in over 23 years) that you will always have grits for breakfast. So it was requested I make grits for my husband and boys. They loved your recipe! Thank you!

I never heard of putting milk in grits BUT GIRL!! I made them your way this morning and they came out amazing!!! I will make grits like this forever. I also never saw anyone boil the butter with the water first. We are now family, heeyyyy cousin lol.

Thanks finally made grits to taste like grits cooking is really a art.

Tracie's Place! This is how you teach us regular folk to cook! You show the mess, you talk about each step, there's no flash and spectacle with cute head shots, sidekicks and unfunny asides. It was just good, honest cooking. It felt like mornings in my grandma's kitchen when I stood on a chair next to her while she was 'gettin' breakfast'. Well done, Ma'am. Well done. Can't wait to make grits like you showed me!

Aha! Now I know how to make REAL grits! I was born and raised in the North, but I was introduced to grits in college in South Carolina, and I've been hooked ever since. The grocery stores here in New Mexico only carry instant grits (BLEAH!) but thank the grits gods for Amazon. I discovered Geechee Boy Mills (soon to be Marsh Hen Mill) Speckled Grits awhile back, and I haven't used anything else since. I find I like my grits better using sea salt. Probably all in my head, but I think sea salt has a sharper flavor, so I can use about half as much salt as would be the usual. Butter gives a much better flavor than margarine, in my opinion, especially when using European-style butter (Trader Joe's, Kerrygold or Plugra, etc.) I also like a hefty (if not healthy) dash of grated Parmesan. I'll have to try it with milk - I'd never heard of that. Using Parmesan also makes grits creamier, I think. Now that I think of it, one of these days I'll have to try 'em New Mexico style with a bit of mild green chile added, and see if that works. I'll have to wait until one of my former co-workers (I'm retired) gives me some home-grown and roasted green chile, though -- the frozen stuff in the stores loses most of the lovely green flavor. Right now is chile roasting season! Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this video. It brought back memories of some of the wonderful Southern cooking I experienced in my years in SC. That's where I learned to like a lot of things that my mother's "English Farm" style cooking made inedible.

Okay, the hubby and I had breakfast for dinner tonight and I made your infamous grits. OMG, they were delicious 😋. My hubby noticed right away. Excellent!! Thank you💕

Hands down the best grits I've ever tried! Thanks, Ms Tracie, for sharing the recipe & method and for the video!

OH MY GOSH!!! PERFECTION, when I say they LOVED these grits, it's an understatement, we are on them for days, even better the next day, and I'm not even a cook like that, thank you so much! They taste like my grandmother's grits😍😍😍 I hope you have a pancake recipe as well or coming soon!

I made these AMAZING grits this morning. My mom always took a hand mixer and put a couple of whips to her grits. I did that to your recipe and LAWD. Thank you for the milk add. Blessings to you

I’ve made these grits several times now and they are the BEST grits EVER, actually better than my granny’s!!! And she was the best cook!! Thanks so much for this recipe. ❤❤❤

Cant wait to try. I have your recipe all wrote down, went out and bought all ingredients needed, and hopefully the correct grits. I bought "traditional". Cant wait to try. Thanks for the video.

Always use a little bit of milk in my grits and that made them a a little bit creamier tasting and the butter, too, but you know the whole secret is keeping whisked, and the Heat turn down at right time, love the video!

My da used to make us grits....every sunday!i love thick grts..or fork grits. Yum

Thank you for taking the time to make this 😃

This is my kind of grits 😋😍

I’ve cooked grits for 40 years and putting in the butter and milk takes to another level of creamy southern grits. Hello from Charleston, SC. I look forward to seeing more. Yummy 😋

Thank you so much. My grits taste like the restaurant

Love the recipe. Will definitely try soon. Like grits especially with over easy eggs. Greatest breakfast in the world lol.

I made these this morning, best grits I ever had or made and I'm your home girl lol...please keep making videos.

I loved it! Thank you

Thank you for this video, whenever my family would go to North Carolina, my mother sister would always fix those grits 👍

This is my first time making and I love it thank you so much

TFS I just seen this video I think you did s great job thanks for the tips too.

Outstanding video. Gotta have my grits.

I’m from Mississippi! Love grits. Now I’m hungry. -Dee

I cook mine the same way then I add cheese also you did amazing you are a true southerner!

Tracie thanks for the recipe.

love milk in grits dint get it often in grits to pricey to add. love it bring back good memories at the table.

Awesome stuff lady. Thank you. I see a lot have never used milk but, yeah, that's the way to go. Might be a little too much salt but.... That's what it is down south lol.. The more flavor the better 💜🤗👊🏾😘🙏🏽

Those grits look delicious 😋

Hello Tricies place you did a good job. I enjoyed your video and please have a blessed day.

I’ve been craving grits! I grew up in Texas and I would have them at friends’ houses, and now I live up north and a lot of people don’t even know what grits are smh 🤦‍♂️

I've always used milk! Nobody taught me it just made sense. Creamy=add milk. And yes you have to stir a lot. Keep from clumping.

Perfectly Descriptive 🥰👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I love them with cream cheese. They make it very creamy.

One word! BOMB!!!!!!!

First time watching your channel your grits are on point. I'm from Mobile and my mother made her grits like that. Margarine is just great. My cardiologist said it's better the heart has know blockages. After so many years making grits i remix now. I add seasons before adding the grits and i add milk at the end. Thanks your grits looks delicious.

I LOVE Grits, I joke that if they don't have Grits in Heaven I might not stay. and I make mine the same way you do.

Thanks for sharing!

I tried yo recipe....I love it...They came out great..

Good stuff young lady!

I made them and they are delicious thank you so much

Thank you so very much!!!

Yum...

It looks good now

Thank You ❤️

Yummy! Yes girl you are country. This is how we do it.........

Yummm

This is almost exactly how my grandmother made her grits. She would first cook bacon in the pot then add the water, milk, butter, and grits. As the grits cooked she would break the bacon in peices then towards the end of cooking the grits she would add the bacon chunks and stir them in. We would add more butter to the grits after pouring in the bowl. Definitely gonna try your recipe! Looks amazing 😋

I eye it to taste and liking

12:07 am in the Bay Area. I’m about to make me some grits🔥🔥🔥

This is how my Mom and Grandma made them.

They look hella good are they stone ground grits or quick cooking grits 😁

I used to use margarine for all my baking and cooking along with crisco, because my mom and grandma used it, until I learned it was unhealthy for you. When I moved out and was buying my own groceries. That's when I also realized that butter is "healthier" but also more expensive. I now get mine at Costco to save some money lol Great video, I only ate grits at school my mom didn't make them, she did make corn meal mush, a little butter, milk, and sugar and you were set.

ummmmmm with grape jelly toast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POWERFUL 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈AMAZING 💯BEAUTIFUL GRITS THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND SHARING FOR YOUR GIFT ⚘TRACIE PLACE. ● BROWN FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON 💜

I innerstand tryin to match your kitchen ware to the pots and pans but you really should use wood or sturdy plastic to stir your stainless steel pots and pans..

I like mines with a little bit more viscosity but this looks great

I never had grits with milk in the grits .I will try it this way looks delicious !

where I am, I can only find quick 5 minute grits and instant grits.

Thank you so much made it the best 😘 grits ever yesssssss!!!!!!

mmmm. grits. I make them up here in Pennsylvania. I make mine just like you do but I put cheese and bacon in mine.

Thank you

Yes Ma'am that's the best way to make Grits most Delicious. Than take my fried breaded chicken breast and dip the in them creamy Grits.... I want but don't throw'em down but take my time... Thanks for your Awesome Video... Go Dawgs... beat Tide this weekend.

❤️

Can you just invite me over for breakfast 😁😜👍

The proper ratio of gritis to liquid is one part grits to four parts liquid.

Ohhhh sis I'm hungry now! Can I please get a side of eggs too!

Wonder how they would taste if you finished them with just a splash of heavy cream for a little added richness 🤗

Hi Tracy, I just found your channel and I subbed. Great video! Hugs

when you turn it down take the pan halfway off of the burner for a minute to let it cool quicker. Then just slide it back over.

Hi. Love the video. What kind of grits did you use?

Im new to eating and cooking grits thats why im here,seems like its a long process

And im from Mississippi..

Ok, I'm intrigued. I've heard of grits of course but I really think it's time for me to try some, I hear singers sing about grits in their songs for christ sakes so it would be rude not to try😛😛 Gonna order some off Amazon coz I'm from London.

🥰

I’m an Alabaman but this is my breakfast every morning except the I don’t know how to get the grits down packed

holy fuck! i have never met another Tracie with my exact spelling. Helloo Tracie!!

Cheese and bacon bits would be tasty in those grits !

I cook my grits the same creamy not gritty yes you did that.🧈🥣

🥰😍

That’s way too much salt for me. Looks good though. Never made it with milk before but ill definitely try it this weekend.

I agree I hate gritty gritty grits I like smooth grits

I tried Grits once Years and i didn't like them but seen how it looks this way it looks like what we call Farina im not sure if is the same or not but Farina is with Sugar, a tiny bit of salt Milk & butter i Can have Farina all day if they let me lol Im thinking about trying grits one more time again to see if. I like it this way now

What type of grits did you use like the brand?

How many pounds of gravel was that? I'm looking to do a similar project to park a small tractor and ATV on

I hate to tell you, but that sprinkling was not 3/4 of a teaspoon of salt. it was more like three or 4 teaspoons. it still looks good though

I put on low the second you see the first boil

👍🏽💕

Looks great, you seem to just stir one tiny spot in the pan

I always use Almond milk in mine...it's delicious. Also, I grate real cheddar cheese on top! :-)
