GARLIC CHEESE GRITS
Garlic Cheese Grits is a dish that we’ve been making for years and years. Mom serves them every year for Thanksgiving. I think Anne and I would revolt if they weren’t on the table. It has been a tradition since we were little. If you like grits, you’re gonna love these!

O.M.G.I thought I’d eaten grits everyway from Sunday. I don’t how I missed this recipe. I will definitely be making this VERY soon!
What size casserole dish and approximately how many people does this feed? I’m making this for a potluck brunch.
I would use at least a 2 quart casserole dish and this makes 6 to 8 servings, Darleen.
This is so delicious, sometimes I add some precooked shrimp at the very end and let it sit for about five minutes before eating.
i love my grits with a small amount of syrup drizzled over the top. Yummo!
Im so sorry but im from england what is grits do u make or buy it like I say sorry for being so ignorant
It is ground up corn. You buy it here in the grocery. It is usually near the oats or cereal here.
Amazon has grits & quick-cooking is the best kind to use in my opinion. Don’t know what the cost would be to have grits sent to England, but this dish is so good it would be worth it. Velveeta is my cheese choice for this dish as it melts creamier than cheddar.
Grits are kind of like medium ground polenta. Although grits are usually white corn.
Lovin’ this with livermush and eggs along w/blackrasberry jam.
What is livermush, despite the name it still sounds good to a liver lover like me and can you please post a recipe?
Grits are generally made of corn.
Southerners are poeple of good taste !! this is gorgious !!
Best grits in the world!!!!
