My mother made this recipe for Christmas every year and even people who HATE grits always came back for seconds! DELICIOUS!
Ingredients:
4 cups milk (whole is best, 2% is fine.)
1 cup quick-cooking grits
3/4 cup butter (i recommend real butter.)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 triangle laughing cow cheese (i sometimes use 1 c of shredded sharp cheddar instead.)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Barely bring milk to a boil, add grits slowly stirring the whole time. Cook time for grits may vary so follow the time on the quick cooking grits box.
2. When grits are done, add 3/4 stick of butter, add cheese slowly and add the salt.
3. Pour into a 13x9 pan.
4. **VERY IMPORTANT** Let the grits cool, either sitting on the counter top or in the fridge.
5. Once cool, poke holes in the top of the grits (I use the tip of a spoon).
6. Melt the remaining butter and pour on top of the grits.
7. Top with the grated parmesan cheese.
8. Bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees.
