- 2 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1-2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1-2 cups cheese any kind ( I used cheddar and mozzarella)

Instructions
- Measure and chop all ingredients. Set the IP to saute and let it heat up. Add the bacon grease and continue to heat. Once heated, add the 1 cup of grits. Stir them and let them toast in the bacon grease for a minute or two. Once toasted, add one tablespoon of butter along with the onions, garlic and seasonings.
