Creamy Vegan Grits with "Bacon" and Green Onion
2 servings

3 cups water
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup quick grits
Olive oil spray
6 slices Lightlife Smart Bacon
3 green onions, white and green parts
~1 tablespoon Earth's Balance non-dairy buttery spread 
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Bring water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Slowly stir in grits. Cover and reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally, for 6-7 minutes.

Spray a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bacon until nicely browned on both sides. Remove from heat and toss in green onions. Sauté briefly (about 30 seconds) until onions are wilted. Chop bacon into small pieces.

Add Earth's Balance to grits and stir until combined; add bacon and green onions and combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
