Grits and Greens Casserole image

This grits and greens casserole was a fast hit with my family, and has turned into a Thanksgiving dish.

Provided by saint fu

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices bacon
1 medium red onion, chopped
8 cups chicken broth, divided
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups regular grits
1 (12 ounce) package chopped turnip greens
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup salted butter, cubed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; reserve some grease in the skillet. Let bacon cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes; chop and set aside.
  • Heat reserved grease in the skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Combine 6 cups chicken broth and half-and-half in a large pot; bring to a boil. Stir in grits, return to a boil, and cover. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until grits are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While grits are cooking, bring remaining 2 cups chicken broth to a boil in another pot. Add greens, reduce heat, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze out all liquid.
  • Stir bacon, onions, Monterey Jack and Parmesan cheeses, butter, salt, and pepper into grits. When butter is melted, stir in greens. Transfer mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until starting to brown on top, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is the best choice for this recipe, but you can also use frozen or canned corn if you don't have any fresh corn on hand.
  • Don't overcook the grits: Grits should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooked grits will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese is a good option, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
  • Season the casserole well: Don't be afraid to season the casserole well with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and golden brown: The casserole should be baked until it's bubbly and golden brown on top. This will take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Kiss My Grits Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's made with fresh corn, creamy grits, and sharp cheddar cheese, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
