Cheesy Grits

Grits are a Southern favorite, and while they can be eaten any time of day, there’s nothing like a savory breakfast to start a day on the trail on the right foot.

You’ll need:

• Medium pot
• 2 cups treated water
• ½ cup quick grits
• ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup shredded pepperjack cheese
• Pinch salt
• Optional: bacon bits, hot sauce

At home: Combine cheese, salt and optional ingredients in a ziploc bag.

At camp: Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Stir in grits. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until cooked, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add optional ingredients.

Camping food doesn't have to be the same old foods over and over again.  Gonzalo Díaz Fornaro
