Anonymous Recipe – Garlic Grits

I love grits, which is strange since I was raised in Wisconsin. My husband on the other hand hates them and he was raised in the south. He however loves these garlicky, cheesy grits. This is a great dish to serve with barbequed ribs or chicken

Ingredients

• 1 quart water
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup quick-cooking grits
• 1 ½ cups diced processed cheese
• ¼ cup butter
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup milk

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
2. Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan with garlic and salt. Stir in grits, reduce heat to low, and cook until thick, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in cheese and butter until melted. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk, then stir into grits. Pour grits mixture into greased casserole dish.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until firm.
