Catfish Creek’s Grits and Greens

By

John Woods

  • 2 Cups Whipping cream or half and half
  • 8 cups of chicken broth, divided
  • 2 cupws stone ground grits preferred. Instant will work
  • 1 lg bag frozen turnip or collard greens. Old Glory grits in a can will work just fine but be sure to drain
  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 21/2 cups Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1 cup cooked or crumbled bacon (save drippings)

Grease a 13×9 casserole pan. Combine cream and 6 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the grits and cook over a medium hear until the grits are done. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent sticking. Add milk if necessary to thicken to proper consistency. Cook greens with remaining chicken broth (if using frozen greens). If using canned greens just squeeze out excess water. Add butter, Parmesan and pepper to cooked grits and stir until butter is melted. Stir in greens and spoon mixture into greased casserole dish. Top with additional Parmesan and crumbled bacon. For additional flavor pour a little of the bacon drippings on top of casserole. Bake at 350 degrees until browned on top.
