These cheesy grits make a great base for Southern recipes, especially something saucy like Tenderloin Grillades. If grits are foreign to you, then just think polenta. They’re the same thing — ground dried corn. Grits just tend to have a coarser texture than polenta. And cooking them is as easy as making a batch of oatmeal. Just be sure to cook the grits in a fairly large saucepan — they may splatter on your stove top.
