CHEESE GRITS

LuvMyTitans
LuvMyTitans
Okay, PepperMan, here it is!

*disclaimer : This is not a healthy dish... just sayin' . :)

1 1/2 cups Quick Grits ( NOT instant )
1 stick butter
1 pound Velveeta Cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk

Cook the grits as directed on package. ( I use a large pot so I don't need to use a mixing bowl, I just mix it all right in the pot I cook the grits. )

When the grits are done, add all ingredients. I cut up the butter in slices, and I cube the Velveeta Cheese to help it al dissolve quicker.

Pour in greased casserole dish ( 1 1/2 - 2 quart )

Bake at 350 degrees for one hour, until browned on the top.

Enjoy!

Yum! Love velveeta, but since it's so unhealthy I save it for when I want a really good cheeseburger. :)

I love butter grits, cheese grits, shrimp and grits. I even eat my oatmeal savory like grits too.

Thanks for posting!

OK, I'm gonna make a small batch to try it. I doubt that anybody in my family has ever eaten grits before. Do we need a learners permit or something? he he he

While on the topic of grits, I wanted to share my favorite grits recipe. There is a restaurant near my home that's famous for their ribs, they also serve an assortment of sides including jalapeño cheese grits and they are out of this world!

Jalapeño cheese grits
Yields 4-6 servings

2 cups milk
1 and a half cups water
2 ounces butter
1 cup stone ground grits
1 and a half teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon chopped jalapeño
1 teaspoon chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon chopped poblano pepper
2 ounces grated cheddar cheese
2 ounces grated pepper jack cheese

Combine milk, water, and butter in a saucepan and heat on medium while stirring until butter has melted. Stir in grits, then reduce heat to low. Simmer grits, stirring occasionally until they have absorbed most of the liquid and begun to thicken. Stir in salt and remaining ingredients and remove from heat. Continue to stir until the cheese has fully melted.

Mrs. Pepper said that they tasted a bit like the cheese sauce I make for Mac And Cheese. Soooo, next time I might just mix in some elbow macaroni and ham chunks Perhaps add some more milk so it is a bit more creamy than solid??

And if it was up to me there would always be jalapeno in it!

I tried this as a replacement for my cheese sauce for mac and cheese. It was too dry, something probably all of you except for me could have predicted! So next time I try this I will add a lot more milk, and perhaps lose the egg.

I love grits, plain, cheese, butter, or all three, grits, cheese and butter. And yes, I was raised in Alabama. I just make the grits, add butter and sprinkle shredded cheese on each serving. Just a quick way of doing them. (also not instant grits)

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

    I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
