Ingredients:

  • 2 cups regular grits
  • 6 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 to 6 ounces chopped mild green chile (New Mexican if you have it)
  • 1 or more jalapeno chiles, seeded and finely chopped
  • dash cayenne

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in the Crock Pot and cook on low for 6 to 9 hours or on high 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. If cooking on high, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more water if too thick.

Similar to polenta, you serve right away or you can refrigerate the mixture in a buttered loaf pan for a few hour or overnight, unmold, slice (1/2-inch) and fry in butter until browned. Serves about 8
