4 c. water
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. uncooked quick cooking grits
2 tbsp. cooked, crumbled bacon
1/4 c. plus 1 tbsp. butter, divided

Bring water and salt to a boil; stir in grits. Cook grits until done, following package directions. Remove from heat. Add bacon and 1 tablespoon butter; stir until butter melts.

Pour grits into a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 3 inch loaf pan. Cool; cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove grits by inverting pan; cut loaf into 1/2 inch slices. Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet; fry slices over medium heat 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. Yield about 8 servings.
