Ingredients:
vegetable cooking spray |
1 teaspoon cracked pepper, divided |
3 3/4 cups water |
2 1/4 cups canned no-salt-added chicken broth, undiluted |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 1/4 cups regular grits, uncooked |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese |
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce |
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked |
3 cups seeded, chopped tomato |
3 cups seeded, chopped yellow tomato |
1/4 cup chopped green onions |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme |
2 teaspoons lime juice |
Directions:
1. Coat a 9-inch loafpan with cooking spray. Line with heavy-duty plastic wrap, allowing plastic to extend over edges. Coat plastic wrap with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon pepper on plastic wrap.
2. Combine 1/2 teaspoon pepper, water, and next 3 ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add grits, stirring constantly. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in cheese and hot sauce.
3. Spread half of grits mixture in pan; place bacon lengthwise on top of grits. Spoon remaining grits over bacon. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Fold plastic wrap over grits; chill 8 hours.
4. Combine tomatoes and remaining 3 ingredients; cover and chill.
5. Invert grits loaf onto a cutting board; remove and discard plastic wrap. Cut loaf crosswise into 4 slices. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Broil 3 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 10 minutes on each side or until golden. Top evenly with tomato mixture.
