nonstick cooking spray
4 cups water
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup regular grits, uncooked
1 egg, well beaten
1 ½ cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or more to taste
