1 tsp salt
1 cup quick-cooking grits (not instant)
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
2/3 cup milk half and half or heavy cream
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
4 large eggs lightly beaten
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
pinch paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add water and salt to a large saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the grits and mix well, bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer covered for five minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and add the cheddar cheese, milk, butter, Worcestershire sauce, ground red pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine. When the butter and cheese have melted, add the eggs and make sure they are thoroughly mixed in with the other ingredients.
- Spray a 2-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the mixture. Sprinkle with paprika and the Parmesan cheese.
- Bake uncovered for one hour. Let the casserole stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
NOTES:
I used Old-Fashioned grits (Quaker)
The recipe says you can add up to two more cups of cheese, fwiw.
