Ingredients

  • 6 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 ¼ cups old-fashioned grits not instant
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon tabasco sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 8 x 8 casserole dish.
  • Bring the water or broth and salt to a boil in a large saucepan.
  • Add the grits slowly, stirring constantly as you go. Once the grits are all added, add the Worcestershire, Tabasco, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook for 25 minutes, whisking occasionally to prevent lumps.
  • Remove from the heat and add 1 cup of the cheese. Stir until it is melted and allow to cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs.
  • Transfer to the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, until browned.
