CHILI CHEESE GRITS SQUARES
Found this in a Southern Living of indeterminate age. I NEVER liked grits until I fixed this with roast beef and gravy. NOW -- I pay much more attention to grits recipes, expecially when there is an unexpected, added twist. These go well with ANY beef and/or vegetables, and are just a little different. Times do not include chill time.

CHILI CHEESE GRITS
Grits are hulled, dried, and cracked corn kernels. To add variety to your grain repertoire, try them! I do urge you to try using stone-ground grits, which are much more flavorful than those sold in supermarkets. However, the latter can't be beat for convenience, especially the quick-cooking kind.

- Stir in the remaining ingredients. Heat until the cheese is smoothly melted into the grits and serve.

CHEESE GRITS
There's very little simpler than cooking grits. A few ingredients come together into something comforting, good for a cold morning and just as good for Sunday dinner. Use the best ingredients, pull out that pepper mill and season well. Make sure you pay attention to the details. The trick to good grits is cooking out the grittiness. The extra cream and frequent stirring here give it a consistency that's not too dense and not too liquidy. Don't leave it alone too long: If you stir it frequently, giving it love, it will love you back.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water, the half-and-half, salt, pepper and garlic powder to a simmer over medium.
- Slowly add grits while whisking vigorously to avoid lumps.
- Cook grits over medium-low, checking every 3 or 4 minutes and giving the grits a stir, until they're smooth, creamy and have little to no bite, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and stir in cheese and butter. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Serve hot with scrambled eggs, bacon or on its own.
Tips:
- For a creamy and smooth texture, use freshly grated cheddar cheese.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy kick.
- If you don't have evaporated milk, you can use regular milk or half and half.
