Baked Cheese Grits

I know grits are more of a southern dish, like most delicious things, but you can eat these no matter what part of the country you live in. I pinky promise.I'm not a huge fan of the breakfasty grits, but cover them in cheese and add a little garlic? Oh, yes. I'll eat the entire dish.
