Good morning!

Here, have a grit.

Cheese Grits Casserole

1 cup grits (polenta), prepared according to package directions
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 Tablespoons butter
1 cup grated cheese
2 eggs, well beaten
1/4 cup milk

Prepare 1 cup of uncooked grits according to package directions. Then stir 3 Tablespoons of butter into the warm grits along with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 cup of grated sharp cheese. I usually use extra sharp cheddar cheese but fontina works well, and other cheeses would work well too.

Beat 2 eggs with 1/4 cup of milk. Add this to the grits and mix well. Pour the mixture into a greased 2 quart casserole dish. Bake for 45 minutes in a 425 degree oven.

Note: This is a forgiving recipe. A little more or a little less cheese, butter, or even milk won't spoil the recipe. And it can be baked at other temperatures if needed, so that it can share the oven with another dish that requires a lower baking temperature. Cooking time will differ but just leave it in the oven until the top begins to brown.

Enjoy!
