Steps

Sequence	Step

1	Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2	Pour in grits, reduce heat to medium and stir until thick, about 5 minutes.
3	Add butter and salt, reduce heat to low. (IMPORTANT: We all know butter is wonderful, but adding more will effect the tot shape.
4	Mix in green onion, bacon, cheese, garlic, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and Cajun seasoning. Note that these flavors will intensify as they marinate in the fridge.
5	Pour grits into a 9×12-inch pan. Spread the mixture out with a spatula so there is a 1 to 1 ½ inch-thick layer of grits.
6	Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
9	To make the tots, take a tall shot glass, then press and rotate into the grit cake and pull out the tot.
10	Place tots on parchment-lined baking sheet
11	Bake on the top rack for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
