Creamy bacon/cheese grits

These grits will make you want to cry (I know I did.) These are sooooo good. I serve them with pork...um chicken.....um beef......um corn flakes.......um you get the picture. 

Creamy bacon/cheese grits

8 slices of apple wood smoked bacon  cut into small pieces( I believe this is the only bacon on the earth. But feel free to use another less superior type bacon if you want. hahaha Just kidding.)

1 whole yellow onion, chopped

2 Cups stone ground grits

4 Cups chicken broth

2 Cups water

2 Cups heavy cream

1 1/2 Cups grated cheese (Monterrey jack, cheddar whatever you like. I used Monterrey jack.)

cayenne

salt and pepper to taste

In dutch oven cook bacon till done, remove bacon with a slotted spoon and keep,  then add the onions and cook till they are golden brown and caramelized. Add grits, chicken broth and water. Stir together and bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover pot and cook 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Watch level of liquid. If liquid cooks out before grits start to get tender add more warmed broth. After 30 minutes add cream and cover and cook another 30 minutes or so till grits are tender. Taste for salt and pepper. Remove from heat and add cheese and bacon, stir to melt. Keep warm till serving.

The time is something you have to play by ear sort of. Good luck. These are delish.
