How to make Crock Pot Cheese Grits
Grits are a really good and inexpensive food. Â If you’ve never tried them, you’re missing out. Â They’re located in the breakfast section, near the oatmeal. Â I’m not a huge fan of plain grits, but cheesy grits are FANTASTIC. Â
Make them loaded and they are to die for! Â I love the taste that the pepper and Tabasco leaves. Â Mix in all those toppings in together and it’s delicious and filling.

I love using my slow cooker and get it out a few times a week. Most the time I cook the main part of my meal, the protein, in the crock pot, but this is a good side dish that you can throw in.
