Grits are my favorite breakfast side dish and I could eat them every day. I typically prepare them by boiling water, because of how quick they are ready. Going the extra mile and placing them in the oven may be my new way to have grits. I will try this recipe this weekend.

I like this grits recipe. It just takes my cheese grits to a new level. This will be the perfect side to present when family comes to town. This is the opportunity to dress up a simple breakfast side dish.

Disregard Bad Bruce's comment. Corn meal is not grits. Grits are made from hominy. If the corn has not been processed into hominy, all you have is corn meal. Cooked corn meal is called mush or polenta.

How do you combine the hot grits and raw eggs and not have them becoming scrambled?

Hi Glenda! The eggs should be lightly beaten first. Before you add them to the mixture, you add cheese, milk, and butter. These ingredients help prevent it from scrambling.

I started putting egg and cooked crumbled sausage two years ago, at the last two min of cooking the grits. They are fluffier and lots of taste. The Little Lady I was the caretaker off really loved them as well. Some of the other family members liked it this way as well. Quick and easy. Haven't tried the Casserole yet sounds pretty good. It's only me now, can you freeze the left overs?

Good basic recipe. Add some crumbled cooked country sausage and a teaspoon of minced garlic and, oh yeah, more cheese, and you got a great dish that beats mac/cheese any day south of the Mason Dixon. And for all you worry warts about nutritional value... just enjoy!!

sounds good, maybe a smashed garlic clove would enhance the flavor
