Twice-Baked Cheese Grits image

The best cheese grits I have ever had, courtesy of my mom's recipe box. Bake it the night before and re-bake it in the morning. You can make this the morning, of, but I recommend you follow it as written to get the same consistency.

These grits were a bit too salty for my taste. I will probably use less salt next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The grits still turned out great! I will definitely be making them again.

I used half sharp cheddar cheese and half mozzarella cheese. The grits were still cheesy and delicious, but they had a bit of a stretch to them. I will definitely be making them again.
