Grain Side Dish Recipe ★ Cheesy Baked Grits

I had this at a party at a colleague's house. I've loved cheese grits for years, but these are by far the best I've ever had.

Ingredients

• 1 quart milk
• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup uncooked grits
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon white pepper
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• ⅓ cup butter
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2. Bring the milk to a boil in a pot over medium heat. Melt 1/2 cup butter in the boiling milk. Gradually mix in the grits, and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Beat with a whisk or electric mixer until smooth. Mix in the Cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup butter. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
3. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, until firm.
