Anyone that makes grits sweet by ANY means is not truly southern...lol... and I’ve never seen grits cooked in milk. My favorite grits are with butter, cheese, salt and pepper. Also, I hate runny grits. Like them semi-solid...nothing like cream of wheat...sigh
Great food to diet with as they are very filling!
I’ve eaten grits just about every which way you can, even Polenta (Italian Grits!) and with cottage cheese!.....................

Sweet grits, kind of like sweet cornbread, not the real thing. If you want sweet grits, get some cream of wheat and some sugar. If you want sweet cornbread, buy some pound cake. I’ll also add the Irish lady I used to work with would launch into a rant every time someone mentioned soda bread with sugar, raisins or other fruit. Some things aren’t meant to be sweet.
Grits = good delivery system for butter and/or cheeses and/or breakfast meats and/or redeye gravy
Cream of Wheat or oatmeal = good delivery system for brown sugar, maple syrup and fruits
Grits are meant to be savory, not sweet.
I like my sweet grits and I’m Southern to the core!
Agree!!!
Not milk, but equal parts water, half and half, and heavy cream.
