Grits recipe with Cheddar cheese and garlic, a very popular way to prepare grits in the South.

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups grits
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 eggs, well beaten
  • 16 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • cayenne pepper to taste

Preparation:

Bring water and salt to a rolling boil; gradually stir in grits with fork. Cook, stirring constantly, until all water is absorbed. Stir in butter a tablespoon at a time; stir in the beaten eggs, working quickly so eggs will not cook before thoroughly blended into the grits, then stir in the shredded cheese, garlic and a little cayenne pepper. Put into a greased 2 1/2-quart casserole. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 to 20 minutes.
Serves 8.

Absolutely a Southern FoodOctober 26, 2009By Expat_Foodie
"My review is basically a response to J_Ade who commented that this recipe isn't Southern: Southern cuisine is varied, from Creole to Low Country to Appalachian to Deep South. This style of cheese grits is absolutely eaten in the South; in fact one of my favorites from a childhood in the Deep South."
