any idea on how many servings it makes?
Trying to make some for a fantasy football draft, looking for an approximate number. I need to serve 12. Thanks

That wont serve 12 people anything more than a spoonful or so.

i was thinking 2 batches would serve 12 at least enough for a side to go with other food people are bringing
Posted on 8/23/11 at 4:54 pm to Lester Earl
yea i was gonna say maybe double it because of other people bringing stuff. and some people probably wont eat some

Sounds like a plan. I think Zea does catering sized portions of it, might end up being cheaper and less time consuming.

shoot, forgot about that. I prob have a giftcard somewhere too.
can get a quart and a half for about $20.

I use more corn when I make it.
I think a cup of dry grits is about 3 cups cooked. Look on the package of grits. You should be fine doubling it for 12 people if there are other sides and throw in some extra corn.

you ever add anything extra into the recipe? jalapenos or cheese or anything?

that sounds like a good addition.
although im a sucker for anything with jalapenos

I don't add anything with the exception of extra corn and I use a lot of green onions because I love them. I mix them in the grits just before serving rather than using them solely as a garnish.
It definitely does not need cheese. The dish is plenty rich. I suppose peppers would be good, but I like them as is.

Posted a while back. Just as good and a lot less trouble to use white shoepeg corn.
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup shoe peg corn
1 cup yellow grits (not instant)
3-4 tblsp real butter
Bring chick broth and butter to a boil.
Add cream, return to boil.
Slowly whisk in grits and then add corn
Reduce heat and simmer 5-6 min
Season to taste with sea salt

Do you hear the music from the Twilight Zone in the background?

Shoe peg corn instead of grilled corn. Had both ways and imo not worth time to grill.
Posted on 8/23/11 at 6:05 pm to Geaux1
The grilled corn is what makes it for me. I didn't notice the shoepeg corn. 
Shoepeg corn is one of the few canned vegetables I ever use, though, for other dishes.

try making some corn stock and using that for some of the liquid

I only make that recipe when I have lots of company to eat it, it is incredibly delicious and has more calories than lard.
