On a quiet Tennessee morning, the Geedel Vegetable Chopper helps you prepare a classic Southern breakfast in minutes—no more slow-dicing ham and onions over a hot stove.

With the built-in container keeping ingredients ready, enjoy creamy grits topped with savory ham and cheese in just 15 minutes—simple, warm, and deeply satisfying.
Ingredients
100g instant grits
300ml water
50g thick-cut ham
1/4 onion
40g shredded cheddar cheese
2 slices bacon (crisped and crumbled)
1/4 tsp salt
A pinch of black pepper
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Dice Ham & Onions: Effortless Prep with the Vegetable Chopper
Cut the ham into 1cm strips and slice the peeled onion. Load both into the Geedel Vegetable Chopper using vegetable chopper mode (medium blade). With the non-slip base keeping it steady even on a wooden table, press down twice—ham turns into 5mm dices, onion into fine bits. Everything collects neatly in the container, avoiding greasy countertops.
2. Cook Grits & Combine Ingredients
Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Gradually whisk in grits to prevent lumps. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until thick. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in ham and onion, cooking for 1 minute until heated through. Turn off the heat, sprinkle with cheddar and bacon, cover for 30 seconds to melt the cheese—ensuring every spoonful is rich and flavorful.
3. Serve with Southern Flair
Scoop grits into rustic ceramic bowls. Garnish with chives and serve with fried eggs or whole-wheat toast. The savory ham, creamy cheese, and smooth grits create the comforting taste Southern families love. Thanks to Geedel, the ham stays firm and evenly diced after cooking.
