Cheese Grits – Julie’s

  • Quick Grits (NOT Instant Grits)
  • Minced Garlic (the dried kind)
  • Season Salt
  • Real Butter
  • Salt
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Velveeta (about ¼ a pound – not a lot, just enough to help make it creamy)
  • Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese – at least 2 cups
  • 2-3 eggs
  • Milk?

Using the directions on the package, make 6 servings of Quick Grits, but add ½ teaspoon of minced garlic, a tablespoon or two of butter, and about ½ teaspoon of salt to the water.

Once the grits are done, add a dash of Worcestershire, the Velveeta and shredded cheeses, about 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a couple of tablespoons of butter (optional).

If you aren’t in a hurry, let the grits cool down to room temperature and fold in 2 large (or three small) beaten eggs. If you are in a hurry, add some of the hot grits to the beaten eggs a little at a time until the eggs warm up, then add the eggs to the grits.

Pour into a greased 9×13 pan. Lightly sprinkle top with cayenne pepper. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes to an hour.
