Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 3/4 cup ground or finely chopped ham (about 6 ounces)
- 1 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
- 3/4 cup uncooked white grits
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning once, until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Once cooled, crumble into bits and set aside.
- Pour off all the bacon drippings except for 2 to 3 tablespoons. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute until the onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the ham, stirring to mix well. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and garlic and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the grits as directed on the package instructions. When they reach a creamy state, stir in the ham and tomato mixture. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large serving bowl and crumble the bacon over the top. Serve immediately.
