Growing up near me there was a restaurant called the Grit which served a dish called the Grit Staple. It was essentially rice and pinto beans and you could add cheese or veg or hot sauce. I love making this or other Grit Staple variations (ie Spanish rice and black or refried beans, sticky rice and edamame, etc)

honestly I was turned off by them for a bit because I tried them at cracker barrel and they were super plain, but they're insanely tasty if they're cooked right and they're really filling. my grandpa used to eat them plain with just sugar sprinkled in them which I think is insane after trying them like that lmao
there's plenty of recipes you can find online but when they're cooked in broth and you add in butter, heavy cream, cheese, and some seasoning, they're great

my roommate introduced me to grits and theyβre so easy to make, nourishing, warm etc. boil water, throw grits in, let them thicken, add butter, whisk an egg in (optional), add salt&pepper, voila
