BAKED TWO-CHEESE & BACON GRITS
In the South, everyone loves three things: bacon, cheese and grits! After playing around with this recipe, I took it to my first family party as a newlywed, and it was a huge hit. This recipe has become a family tradition that I'm sure will be passed down for generations. -Melissa Rogers, Tuscaloosa, Alabama
