- 1 cup grits
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 package garlic cheese
- 1 stick butter
- 1 large egg beaten
Cook grits in salted water. When done, add one package (roll) cheese
with garlic. Add one stick butter and stir until cheese and butter have
melted.
Beat egg in separate bowl. Spoon small amounts of hot grits into eggs,
beating quickly with each addition, until egg mixture is hot. Pour eggs
into grits and stir quickly.
Pour into small buttered casserole dish.
Bake at 300 degrees for about 30 minutes.
NOTES : Things I have learned over the years (Anne Moman):
Do not use instant grits. I use Jim Dandy Quick Cooking Grits.
Regular grits are good, also. Cook according to directions.
Use only 2-3 tablespoons of butter.
I have substituted mild cheddar cheese and added a little garlic
powder.
This recipe freezes well. Freeze before baking or freeze
leftovers. When I have frozen unbaked grits, I thaw only one
hour--then cook until hot and puffy which usually takes about an
hour or more.
Cooking time is 30 minutes when grits are hot to begin with.
