Chilling the grits helps them hold their shape and makes them firm enough to cut when grilled.

Ingredients:

4 cups hot cooked instant grits

1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded white cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon minced fresh or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled

cooking spray

Directions:

1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl; stir well. Pour the grits into a 10-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray, spreading evenly. Cover and chill 1 hour or until completely cool.
2. Prepare grill.
3. Invert grits onto a cutting board; cut into 4 squares. Cut each square diagonally into 2 triangles.
4. Place grits triangles on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and thoroughly heated.
