I like the Quaker Instant grits...but I can only get butter flavor at the store. Amazon only seems to sell in large Costco style boxes. Now I bumped into a #10 can of survival grits at Amazon for like $8 bucks (good for 25+ years).

They also sell cans of cornmeal for the same price.
Number 10 cans are way bigger than coffee cans for you non-prepper types.
I'm thinking of stepping up my game and buying 5 pound bag of grits. The key is it needs to be microwaveable.
I've added hamburger and shredded cheese, but what else will you toss into the breakfast food?
How do you prepare your grits for breakfast
The grits you get in big bags or cans are not microwave food.
You'll find two kind of grits in a big bag. "Old-fashioned grits", which are ground, dried hominy (which is different from plain cornmeal), take about 20 minutes to cook. "Quick grits" are partially cooked, dried, then ground more finely, take about 5 minutes. I'm partial to old-fashioned grits.
I make grits different ways:
1. Plain with salt. Add butter and pepper when you eat them. Seved with eggs, and bacon, sausage, ham, or steak.
2. Plain with salt, Served with sausage gravy.
3. Cheese, butter, and garlic.
4. Cooked with beef broth, chopped up beef, mushrooms, and diced onions (sofkey- it's Indian food). I've also made sofkey with leftover smoked brisket. Mmmmm.
