STOVE TOP GRIT "CASSEROLE"



Stove Top Grit

I made this up this morning to dress up quick cooking grits... I double the cook time to make them creamy, and added eggs, bacon bits, and shredded cheese while cooking. It turned out great! It's pretty flexible, I think, and you could use minced sauteed onion for a different flavor, sliced bacon fried and crumbled, different cheeses, and garnish with what you like. If I'd had them, I would have garnished with green onions as well.

Time 20m

Yield 2 1/2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups skim milk (can use half water)
1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup shredded cheese (used colby jack)
1 -2 tablespoon bacon bits (the real ones)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
sour cream (for garnish)
green onions (for garnish) or chives (for garnish)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, slowly bring the milk just to a boil over medium heat. Whisk in the grits and reduce heat to medium low, whisking frequently to prevent lumps from forming, and simmer about 5 minutes.

  • Add cheese, stirring until it's melted in and the grits look creamy. Add onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour into serving bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, green onion, more bacon -- whatever suits your fancy.

Tips:

  • Use the right grits. Quick-cooking grits will cook faster, but they can be mushy. Stone-ground grits have a more coarse texture and a nutty flavor.
  • Cook the grits in milk or broth. This will give them a richer flavor. You can also add water, but the grits will be less flavorful.
  • Season the grits with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Add cheese to the grits. This will make them creamy and delicious. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but cheddar cheese is a classic choice.
  • Top the grits with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Stovetop grit casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love.
