6 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

2 cups regular grits

16 ounces Cheddar, cubed

1/2 cup milk

4 large eggs, beaten

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

8 ounces grated sharp white Cheddar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 4-quart casserole dish.

Bring the broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in the grits and whisk until completely combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the grits are thick, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cubed Cheddar and milk and stir. Gradually stir in the eggs and butter, stirring until all are combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with the white Cheddar and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until set.

paula's recipe with some tweaking is a hit
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

i halved this recipe when i made it and then halved the fatty ingredients again for a healthier twist (i'm sure it's every... bit as delicious). here's what i used: 1 1/2 cups chicken broth/ 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 3 fresh garlic cloves and 1 fresh shallot clove 1 cup quick grits 8 ounces velveeta cubed (it melts nicely and is lower fat than reg cheese) 1/4 cup milk 2 large eggs, beaten 3 tablespoons full spectrum light butter substitute (1 for garlic and 2 4 ounces grated sharp white Cheddar i sauteed the garlic and shallots with 1 tablespoon of full spectrum spread and then added broth and ingredients to the pan, following the rest of the recipe instructions. it looked gorgeous right out of the oven and i added a little crystal hot sauce to the grits for serious breakfast heaven (we will probably use the remainder for dinner sides this week). thanks paula- i can't imagine what these would taste like following your original decadent recipe, but my way was plenty rich and deelish!

Perfect in a pinch too................
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Grits are a regular at breakfast on the weekends in my house. So I always have a canister in the house. I've made this... recipe a couple of times. Most recently, it was the day before my "big" grocery store trip. Not much in the house. The recipe is very forgiving - Velveeta or natural cheese. Equally good. Whatever you have on hand. Can also be halved very easily. Really great!! Thanks Paula!!Read more

Velveeta on Show
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I am currently watching this show on TV, and per the below comments, it definitely is Velveeta she is using. She calls it out... by name I believe.Read more

DELICIOUS...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these yesterday and they were delicious. I actually made one minor adjustment ... instead of the garlic powder, I... roasted about 8 cloves of garlic in the oven and added it to the mixture at the same time as the cheese. These are definitely a new staple in my house. LOVE THEM!!!Read more

Fantastic!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This truly is a five star recipe!! Instead of the garlic powder, I roasted 6 cloves of fresh garlic, chopped it fine, and... added it with the grits while cooking on the stove. I used Velveeta, chopped into tiny cubes, and about another half cup of milk in the grits. What was really great was I put it all together before company arrived, then just stuck it in the oven about 50 minutes before we were ready to sit down to dinner. I served it with braised short ribs and did it ever great raves!!! I will be making this in place of rice or potatoes many times in the future!! Read more

So You do NOT Like Grits! Try This Recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe several times for our family. Today I took it to a potluck breakfast at work. People who said they... did NOT like grits LOVED this dish. I made many copies and passed them out of the recipe. Be sure and use the "quick" grits and some Extra Sharp Cheese! Thank you Paula!!Read more
