- 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Cook the bacon in a large heavy saucepan or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. When the bacon is crisp remove it from the pan, and drain all but 1-2 Tbsp of bacon drippings. Drain the bacon on paper towels.

Add the chicken broth and salt to the pan, and bring to a boil. Stir in the grits, chopped tomatoes, and green chiles; return to a boil and stir continuously to prevent lumps.

When the mixture has come back to a boil, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep stirring to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan or forming lumps.
