*hears your accent* I trust you.

ironically, its the movie 'my cousin vinnie' that brought me here as i am british and i wanted to find out what grits were - love you southern ladies :)

FYI, for every cup of liquid, you use a qtr cup of grits. So she used 4 cups of liquid, use 1 cup of grits.

I used to live in AL and now I live in MO and they don’t know how to make grits. I stopped eating grits when I was 12… now I’m 32 and my pregnancy craving is some grits, you just helped me. Thank you!! Gonna make it the way I love, butter, sugar and scrambled cheesy eggs

So here I am, up in New England, screaming "MY COUSIN VINNY" at a 3 year old video. Now I know the difference between grits and polenta, never heard of anybody ever putting milk in polenta. Garlic, cheese, sausage, ...sure, we even use the coarser grind yellow corn. You are just the cutest thing I've seen here in a while, thanks for the recipe.

I’m from Mobile Alabama ROLL TIDE ROLL, I’m eating a bowl of cheese grits right now as I watch this video. I’m born and raised here in lower Alabama the gulf coast we eat our grits with fish, shrimp , bacon or conecuh sausage

Finally! Grits made in cold water first! Only my 10 video to find the right and best way to make creamy grits! Thank you!

That was a perfect video, it was the right amount of formal and informal to make the audience feel comfortable and informed. Great Job! :)

Tried her recipe and had the best grits I'd ever made 😊 Thank youuu!

Thanks for sharing this video....it was very helpful.💯...and Happy 2022🥳🥳

Excellent explanation. Love the video. Props to you and the person filming this video. Love your clean kitchen and pleasant personality. 👏👏

Love Southern foods, they are my favorite to cook (Mainly because I cook them alot for my mom and I grew up in flordia) they take amazing but, I love going into to local dinners when I'm on trip in the south, going to those local dinners it's the best way to learn the southern hospitality!

EGGS BACON GRITS SAUSAGE!

Thank you for the clarification, YOU have been totally helpful in answering my questions about grits! Grits are not popular here in the West but I love them and thanks to you Mrs. Charles, I'll be making them soon. thank you thank you from a sincere, Northern Californian!

I love My Cousin Vinny!! As soon as you started adding the grits in, I had the immediate thought of refuse vs instant grits, before you even mentioned the movie 😆 I knew right away which movie you were talking about. Love it! Thanks for the tips. I’m trying to replicate my grandma’s grits.

My Cousin Vinny is the movie

The reason why I was looking for this recipe is "my cousin Vinny" so... thank you for posting such a nice southern Grits lesson! Greets (and Grits) frome Rome, Italy! :)

ZERO STARS for adding 'sweetness' beyond sweet butter to Southern Grits... but 10 STARS because you did this in the GOOD OLE USA, where we still believe in... FREEDOM of TASTE!!! This averages your overall rating at a PERFECT 5 STARS!!! Thank-you, Miss Jan, for this cute video on creating such a mouthwatering Southern Breakfast Staple!!!

Grits are wonderful! That is why I do not understand why people have talked bad about them 🙄

I like you. You are very entertaining! I could watch you talk about anything.

My Cousin Vinny! So funny, loved it! Loved your video too! Thank you for showing me how!

On behalf of the grit-eating world, thank you for this video.

This is exactly how I make mine! Good to know I'm on the right track since I'm not from the south 😁

My wife made grits the other day and turned out bad, we tossed-um and this is about the 5th vid on how to cook grits and i learned something new in all. great vid sis and thank you for the info.

I already know how to make grits, cream of wheat, cream of rice, oatmeal, cornmeal I'm big on hot cereal, great on cold winter days. I just love to watch cooking videos.

My dad used to make these for me all the time when I was little. I miss the memories.

Just subscribed and heading over to your channel. I'm on the prowl for an excellent recipe for Grits and Shrimp that does not use any part of the peeg, the Schwine, the 4-legged garbage disposal (otherwise known as the pig, the hog, the grunt-grunt). I grew up Southern and have made 70 trips around the Sun, but never knew that grits would be more creamy using half milk and half water. All I ever used was water, and my grits turned out...well, not so creamy. So you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. I'll try this recipe tomorrow. Thanks!

I love the taste of plain grits. Water, milk, butter, salt,and pepper... Along with my fried chicken breast in bread crumb... now that is my Down Home dipping chicken in them Grits.... try this one.... Great video SweetPea

Thank you, it usually takes all day for my grits to soften. 👍🏾👍🏾

I did it and it tastes so good.. Thank you Mom.

Omg. So funny I just finished watching My Cousin Vinny. Thanks for the recipe

These were the BEST GRITS I've ever made OMG!! Added some salt, pepper, cheese, and butter!! True Southern recipe! WAR EAGLE!!

I have cooked grits for 40 years, Did Not know about putting grits in when liquid is cold. Thanks. Good job.

Those are some of the best grits that I've ever had.

Somehow i just enjoy watch her. Oh, and I love grits too.

I never had a grit but those look so good 😊

this is so helpful. Thank you

Interesting, now I've learned the real difference between Grits and cream of wheat. Thanks for educating me. By the way, it looked good.

Those look great. The grits don't look bad either. BOOYAH!

Dolly! 😄 Love it! 🙌🏾👌🏾

WE'RE FILMING!!! LOLOL

First time I heard of grits was while reading a novel as a pre-teen. First time I tasted grits was in a hole-in-the-wall diner in Belfast, Maine! I was nineteen and saw 'em on the menu, cheap. Thought I'd try 'em 'cause I had so little money) Yum! Just with butter and salt then, (cheese optional, now). I am a displaced Connecticut Yankee living in Utah!

I love seeing how much people don't know about grits lol. It's too cute! It's mainly done in the south and in some parts of the carribean (like the bahamas) where I am from.

I LOVE!!!! my grits, I use butter s&p, tabasco, 2 fried eggs cut up in em, sometimes chopped green pepper.

Those southern style grits look so yummy and you are one remarkably beautiful woman/mother I congratulate your son for helping you through this amazing culinary display of yours 💕💞♥️

My cousin Vinny and they were also talking about the Lethal Weapon movies where Joe Pesci played Leo Getz.

Simple and delicious. Thanks Jan

Quick grits lol gonna try this for breakfast in the morning

Looks great!

I love then with sugar , I also love cheese grits(no sugar). Thank you for the video.

I had some today and yesterday. And they we’re delicious.🤤😋🪤🥣

lol, never forgot that grit quote from My Cousin Vinny. Love me some grits. gonna try your sorghum. usually a butter and maple syrup gal. thank-you. another hit

I knew it was the line from My Cousin Vinnie as soon as you said “movie.” I don’t ever think about grits without thinking of that line.

I love this video I use 3 cups of water 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of grits ❤️

I love some homemade grits, but I have to say that I like the 5 minute ones! Great video. If you get the chance, visit the town where they filmed My Cousin Vinny. It's right up the road in Monticello, GA. Great movie!!

Thank you. Wonderful job.

You're so sweet!!! Love the video and recipe. Thank you 💕

My Cousin Vinny! Love that scene

Thank you for the help and early morning laugh..😀

Y’all were killing me. MY COUSIN VINNY

That was a great video. My wife, daughter, son and myself are from New Mexico. We've been living in Middle TN for 20 years. Which seems to be enough time to have surprise baby daughter who is now 11 years old. My wife was sharing an experience about a discussion with co-workers. Somewhere along the line, my wife expressed to them that grits come from corn. They were shocked to hear her say that. In fact, they did not believe her. Her co-workers are from the nearby area or in the south !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They didn't know grits are course ground corn. I then proceeded to teach my 11-year old that grits are ground corn. She having been born in Middle TN she better know this. My wife suggested to show our 11-year old the segment of MY COUSIN VINNY. But, before we did that I wanted to show her videos from KZfaq about grits. That's when we came across your video. AND YOU WERE REFERRING TO THE MOVIE ALSO !!!!!!! That part was weird. My wife and I prepared to show the movie segment. Then, saw your video making reference to the movie also. Take care. Thanks for the 23 minute grits. Yes, I subscribed to your channel.

Ah, My Cousin Vinny! My all-time favorite R-rated movie!

Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for that role.

This helped me so much my grits were perfectttttt 💖💖💖💖

Haha I was thinking of my cousin viny and that’s what made me watch this

Looks really tasty and Yummy. I like semolina, so I think I need to see if I can find grits in UK.

My Cousin Vinnie is the name of that hilarious movie!!

I love your attitude

"Are you sure about that 5 minutes ! I'm a fast cook I guess". My Cousin Vinny.

Butter, salt, pepper, cheddar. That's it.

Great video

Love her recipe

You know that it's a real family when someone tells their mother to shut up 😂. No family is perfect, not even on television or on KZfaq. Thank you for the grits recipe.🎉

As a southerner, I will say nothing belongs on grits except for maybe cheese and butter. No syrup or sugar whatsoever !! The ultimate sin lol.

My cousin Vinny is the name of the movie guys 😂😂😂😂

My cousin vinnie, GREAT MOVIE

“Purple is a girl color!” Thanos: *Allow me to introduce myself*

Thanks for doing this video. I loved everything but the sugar.

My cousin Vinnie is the movie. But you've probably figured it out by now lol

U heard southern accent I click like lol. Good job ma'am

Bless those blossoms

I like mine creamy but kinda thick, yellow, butter and pepper. My wife cooks them real good. Of course, we're southerners.

My Cousin Vinny is the movie-I love it!

awesome video(: but what is the brand of grits you used?

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Plain grits with pepper & sugar yummo! But grit bowls are the bomb diggity!

The end part 😂😂😂

My Cousin Vinny, Joe Pesci & Marisa Tomei...

Very nice cook

I like my grits gritty. Only 10-15 minutes of cooking and there's a crunch to it. :) ... and I do love "that" movie with Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei. I think Tomei won an Oscar for that movie.

I'm trying this recipe now

My cousin Vinny is the name of the movie.... lol It was fun watching y'all try to think of the name of the movie

Great technique

My cousin Vinnie lol. Thats where I found out about grits in the first place, and I still haven't tried it lol

I buy Old School brand stone ground grits. I cook them for an hour on top of the stove at night then transfer to a crockpot on low all night and the are fantastic the next morning.

Are these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?

Thank you for teaching me how to make grits....and who played Herman Munster. So cute that you knew the name Fred Gwynne but not Marisa Tomei or Joe Pesci ❤️

In South Africa we call it soji and we have as a desert with cream and condensed milk , it’s creamy and delicious

Thanks. I'm doing this to see if they're better than instant gritd

Awesome. I made mine cruelty free though. Was very good.
