Have you ever wanted bacon and grits but didn’t have the money?
You will be surprised by the fantastic treasures in your kitchen that can turn something into an edible masterpiece.
One such treasure is bacon bits.
Here are a few examples of how to use bacon bits.. put your seatbelt on:
- pork egg rolls
- bacon and cheese omelet
- grits
- bacon cheeseburgers
- pasta
- pizza toppings
- dressings (to add a hint of something)
If you are a fan of the bacon grits in the store, I promise you will fall in love with these bacon grits.
I love to use Quaker 5-Minute Grits, and I use a half pack of turkey gravy. If you aren’t a fan of turkey, you can choose another type of gravy. If you choose NOT to use any gravy, all you need is:
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 2 Tbsp pepper
