These creamy grits make a tasty replacement for rice or potatoes. Chicken broth and cream make these grits savory, and they can be a fabulous replacement for rice, pasta, or potatoes.

Steps to make Sautéed Veggies and Creamy, Cheesy Grits:
  1. Chop all veggies as directed or as desired. Sauté veggies in butter and possibly a little oil (I prefer grape seed oil) over medium-high heat for about 25 minutes or until desired tenderness.
  2. After veggies have cooked for about 15-20 minutes, boil lightly salted water in a separate pot along with chia seeds and feta cheese for about 6 minutes. After those 6 minutes, add and cook grits according to package directions whisking grits from start to finish occasionally. Garlic powder and paprika are excellent options for seasoning.
  3. After grits are almost done, turn fire to low heat and add milk, cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese and butter. Stir and let grits ingredients heat for about another 3-5 minutes. Then, turn off fire and let grits set for about 5-10 minutes.
  4. Serve hot, sautéed veggies over hot grits. Enjoy!
  5. Suggestions: Another good addition to your sautéed veggies is mushrooms. Chia seeds can be purchased at Puritan.com. Check it out. Tomatillos, Thai eggplant, and Chinese eggplant may be difficult to find in some cities. Try a fruit market that has a lot of varieties of fruits and vegetables. In Chicago, we have Pete's Fresh Market.

Serve them with a topping of grilled shrimp or scampi, seared scallops, tender slices of poultry or meat (grillades). When the grits begin to thicken but there is still plenty of moisture left, add the mozzarella and Cheddar along with a few grinds of pepper. Because I have literally made this dish for almost two decades, I have made it every possible way imaginable. These grits are perfect, creamy, and most importantly, buttery. I add an entire stick of Land O Lakes® Unsalted Butter to the batch, and the final results are.
