I hadn�t had grits for quite a while, we ended up with a thing of �quick� grits. So, I figured it might not work out too well if it was left a couple of hours in a slow cooker. Used stuff on hand, some decent chicken stock, picked up a can of rotel, a couple of good sized hand grabs of cheese, and browned breakfast sausage instead of bacon.

The batch fit into one of those 8x8 baking pans and we ran it at 350* for about a half hour. It�s really good comfort food. The rotel gave it a little tangyness, next time I�m thinking about trying some of my wife�s homemade salsa. It�s not overly hot, but it�s all fresh ingredients. Maybe, we�ll try it with bacon, or maybe another butcher type fresh sausage. Thanks again.

If you want a little more heat there are varying degrees of Rotel as far a "heat" goes. The 5 minute grits will do fine in a slow cooker, like a crockpot. No worries.

A friend of mine tried a variation on it, and raved about it. He cooks pork hams in a slow cooker and saves the liquid. He substituted the ham juices for the chicken stock and said it was over the top.

Craig,
For a little more heat you could also substitute a 14 1/2 oz can of "house brand"( whatever store you use) diced tom./w peppers, instead of the 10 oz can of Rotel.
