Number Of Ingredients 10

6 c chicken broth
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 c regular grits
16 oz cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
1/2 c milk
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 c unsalted butter
8 oz grated sharp white cheddar, or other white cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 4-quart casserole dish (13x9-inch baking dish)

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic and cheese will give your grits the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the grits: Grits should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese will give your grits a rich, cheesy flavor.
  • Add some extra flavor: You can add other ingredients to your grits to give them extra flavor, such as bacon, sausage, or vegetables.
  • Serve your grits hot: Grits are best served hot, so make sure you eat them right away.
