This stuff is so good .... I like it with fried fish .
This is my spin on Paula Deens recipe which calls for the crackers to be mixed in and for you to use Saltines and boiled eggs . I don't like it that way because the crackers get soggy and Ritz are way better .


1 large tomato (finely chopped)
3 green onions (finely chopped)
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
Salt (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
2 sleeves Ritz crackers (Crushed)


Mix first 5 ingredients and place in fridge for an hour before serving . Serve over crushed crackers .

If you cook for me, I will come

having a fish fry soon.Is this served as a side dish

Heres another Paula Deen recipe that goes over great at a fish fry ....

You can also put these in a crock pot instead of baking them if your having a party that way your guests can have them hot whenever they get ready to eat . I LOVE Grits !

Tomato Grits
2 cups water
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick cooking grits
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup diced green onions
4 ounces processed cheddar cheese, cubed (suggested: Velveeta)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (suggested: Ro-Tel)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a saucepan, bring the water and milk to a boil. Add the salt and slowly add the grits and return to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. While stirring the grits add the 1/2 cup of butter and stir until butter is melted. Cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the grits are thick and creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Using a skillet, saute the onions in the remaining tablespoon of butter for 1 minute. Add the processed cheese, garlic powder, 1 1/2 cups cheddar, and onions to grits, and stir until the cheese is melted. Add the tomatoes and mix well. Pour the grits into a greased 8 by 11 by 2-inch casserole and bake for 40 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese over the casserole for the last 5 minutes of cooking time.

Yes as a side dish .... at all of our fish fries we serve this along with cheese/tomato grits .

Can't forget the hushpuppies ...

6 cups peanut oil
1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten

Using a deep pot, preheat oil for frying to 350 degrees F.
Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the onion. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Drop the batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hushpuppy is dropped in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hushpuppies during the cooking process.
