Tasty, but how much grits?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have my batch in the oven. Just licking the bowl tasted great! I had to put the batch in a very large pan; it was way too... much for a 9" pan. Please clarify, when recipe says "2 cups quick-cooking grits", was that 2c. cooked grits or 2c. uncooked grits? I went with the latter. Oh, well, I will have plenty left over for a Super Bowl party!Read more

Best Grits Ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Surprise guests appeared on New Year's Day -- starving. Thank heavens I made the full recipe and it was just 15 minutes away... from finishing in the oven. Served with large cold ham I luckily had on hand and a fruited salad. Everyone raved about this dish. It serves way more than the four it says -- fills a 9 X 13 baking dish. But since nearly everyone had seconds and thirds, it only served six in my house. Then it was gone!! Next time I wouldn't add any salt when I make the grits (I used half what box stated). That way I can add more garlic salt at the end. Also, the cheese is salty and seasoning at the end leaves the cook in control. In addition, I think next time I'd add only 2 teaspoons of Tabasco and maybe the whole small can of diced green chiles. The chiles are milder heat than the Tabasco, which was good, though, and added a lot of flavor. Overall, excellent. My husband didn't even take any at first, thinking he didn't like grits. I made him try them and he ended up eating three helpings!Read more

The texture is Amazing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best baked grits recipe EVER. The texture was almost "cake-like". I used a bit less cheese -and it was dense but... not heavy. I ate it for breakfast the next morning. Lots of mildly spicy creamy goodness!Read more
