Crossposted to cheapvegan : So this isn't the cheapest thing (due to the fakin' bacon) but it's tasty. 1/2 cup cornmeal or grits 2 1/2 cups water dash salt Boil the water and salt, whisk in cornmeal, reduce heat to low and cover. Stir now and then, and it should be done in about twenty minutes or so. 1 package Lightlife Fakin' Bacon (or whatever fake bacon you like, but this brand is SUPER...
