These aren't grits in the true sense, that's why the quotation marks. They're made from canned hominy, pulsed in a food processor to give them a grits-like texture. From The Best American Recipes 2001-2002, by chef Bobby Flay. Cooking and preparation times are approximate.

I'm not a big fan of grits, but these were actually really good. The cheese and bacon really made them.
