It's a great day when my mom serves up this Southern specialty! Cooked grits are combined with seasonings, cheese, and eggs, then baked. The eggs are the secret to light fluffy grits that melt in your mouth! You may adjust or eliminate the hot sauce to suit your taste.

I've tried a lot of cheese grits recipes, but this one is by far the best. The grits are creamy and smooth, and the cheese is melted and gooey. I highly recommend this recipe!

These cheese grits were easy to make and so comforting. I served them with fried chicken and collard greens for a classic Southern meal.

I used sharp cheddar cheese instead of mild cheddar, and they were delicious! I also added a tablespoon of minced garlic to the butter before adding the grits.

I added some diced green chilies to my cheese grits for a little extra spice. They turned out great!

I scaled this recipe in half for a smaller crowd and it still produced a generous amount of cheesy grits. The flavor was spot on, with the perfect balance of cheese, butter, and salt.
