Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan and add the grits and salt.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook grits for 5 minutes or until thickened.
- Remove grits from the heat and stir in the butter, garlic cheese and 1 cup of cheddar until melted.
- In a separate bowl mix the egg and milk then add to the grits mixture, stirring briskly until combined.
- Pour into a buttered 11 x 7 inch casserole dish and top with remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 1 hour or until golden and bubbly and serve.
Notes
- Shred Your Own Cheese: Freshly grated cheddar melts better and tastes fresher than pre-shredded cheese.
- Let It Rest: After baking, let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes. This helps it set and makes serving a breeze.
- Prep Ahead: Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance, cover it, and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before popping it in the oven.
- To Freeze: Store leftover grits in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
