This is great with any main dish, as a main dish, or for breakfast. If you don't like bell peppers, leave them out; it still tastes great! Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce if you like it extra hot. Hope you enjoy!!

I followed the recipe exactly, and my grits turned out perfect! They were creamy, cheesy, and just the right amount of spicy. I will definitely be making these again.

These grits were a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. I think next time I'll use a milder jalapeño.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my grits turned out lumpy. I think I didn't whisk them enough when I added the milk.

These grits were a bit bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper, and they were much better.

I'm not a fan of jalapeños, so I omitted them from the recipe. The grits were still very flavorful, and the Monterey Jack cheese made them nice and creamy.

These grits were delicious! I used green jalapeños instead of red, and they were still plenty spicy. The Monterey Jack cheese made them nice and creamy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my grits turned out too runny. I had to add more grits to thicken them up.
