Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch thyme
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp butter
1 cup sliced onion
2 cups fresh stone ground grits
6 cups water
1/2 lb grated cheddar cheese
1/4 lb grated mozzarella cheese
4 slices american cheese , cut into pieces
1 tsp cajun seasoning
1/4 lb shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Prepare seasoning blend. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, thyme, garlic powder and red pepper. Set aside.
In a skillet, melt butter. Saute onions until softened. Set aside.
Bring grits and water to a slow boil and cook until thickened and soft. Add onion, cheddar/Jack, mozzarella and American cheeses and stir until cheeses melt. Add reserved seasoning blend and Cajun seasoning. Pour into a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap and cool overnight in refrigerator.
Remove from mold and slice into 3/4- to 1-inch thick slices. Heat a griddle over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease with butter. Cook grits 2 to 3 minutes per side until heated through. Put about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese on the griddle and place the hot grits on top. Cook until the cheese forms a crust.
