GARLIC CHEESE GRITS

MY RECIPE BOX

Posted on March 16, 2011 by The Southern Lady

Southerners love grits! We like them any way you fix them. Southerners can eat grits three meals a day!

1 1/2 cups uncooked instant grits or regular grits
1 stick butter or margarine
12 oz. velveeta cheese
1 tablespoon garlic powder (can use less if you are not a fan of garlic)
3 eggs
1 cup milk
small cheese crackers

Cook 1 1/2 cups instant or regular grits according to package directions. Remove from stove, add one stick butter or margarine and the garlic powder. Cut cheese into chunks and add to grits. Beat 3 eggs and 1 cup milk together and add to grits and cheese. Spray casserole dish and add mixture. Top with crushed cheese crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until knife comes out clean when inserted.

Try this tasty casserole for breakfast or as a side dish for any holiday meal or just anytime! Enjoy!

Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.(Alice May Brock)

I guess I might as well ask=”what are grits?’ Is it corn? You will have to pardon me, I am a southern girl at heart, trapped in Yankee territory and plead guilty of not knowing.
