Cheez-It Cheesy Cheddar Grits by MONTyBOCA
Let’s be real: You’re already packing Cheez-Its, or some kind of salty chip. Why not cook up an amazing meal with them?
This recipe is part of MONTyBOCA’s Truckstop recipe series, where I create a fast and tasty meal with a bag of chips or crackers. You can pick up the key ingredient just about anywhere (small-town gas stations included), and it’ll satisfy your trail cravings.
The Cheez-It Cheesy Grits ingredients.
The Cheesy Cheddar Grits (and the Truckstop recipes) also includes one of my favorite backcountry pantry ingredients: polenta/grits/cornmeal/masa/cornbread mix. All of these may seem different for anyone who doesn’t cook a lot, but they’re pretty much the same thing and, most importantly, they cook up in only a few minutes. Just make sure to get the quick cooking kind.
Enjoy.
