I've made this casserole several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's cheesy, creamy, and has just the right amount of spice.

I'm not a big fan of grits, but I actually really enjoyed this casserole. The cheese and bacon helped to mask the grits flavor.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more cheese or salt.

I thought the cheese n' grits casserole was delicious! The cheese was gooey and melted, the grits were creamy and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this casserole was to make. It only took a few minutes to prep and then I just popped it in the oven. It was also very affordable to make, which is always a plus.
